Musicom - The Product
Market Philosophy
Musicom products have been developed
specifically for a marketplace that has stringent longevity
and robustness requirements. This is unlike domestic, or even
some industrial environments, where it is acceptable to include
a forecast of some regular down time for service
or maintenance. Legacy hardware replacement, as a matter of
course within 5 years is also not acceptable to our marketplace.

With these facts in place as the
foundation of our product requirement, we have adopted engineering
principles, augmented with detailed manufacturing and test
routine, that will allow us to satisfy the standards expected.
Actual size
is 10.5" x 6.5" x 12.75" deep
Experience has taught us that our principles
of design and test are working. We do not have failures in
the product range due to poor design, or faulty manufacture.
Over the 14 years of Musicom sales, we still have every installation
still working faultlessly, to the performance criteria it was
installed with.
Musicom hardware is generically evolved to ensure backwards
compatibility in the event of an expansion or augmentation
being required to the original instrument.

Product Considerations.
Musicom supplies the most robust, reliable and
powerful product available within relevant manufactured technology.
This requires a clear policy on design procedure. Longevity
is a primary consideration and as such carries a responsibility
to the market.
Technology advances in the last 15 years have
accelerated exponentially both in the product offered, and
the techniques of manufacture. Supplying to a traditional market,
where mechanical structures are the legacy product,
dictates that our product must present a similar profile to
the end user.
We use the latest production technology, and
our own design components, allowing us to re-engineer easily
if necessary avoiding component redundancy.
This is the only effective way to offer a long
life product in the modern manufacturing environment where
advances are continually made. Our modular, plug-in design
ensures overall product presentation integrity continues.
In our case, the end user the musician,
is not the only person that we are selling to, and so the advantages
of our product are also appropriate to the installer or instrument
manufacturer.
Our designs include features and enhancements
that enable low labour costs, and built in diagnostics, to
give early identification of installation wiring error.
We have our own advanced equipment test facility
which enables us to fully characterise our product for EMC
and general immunity to external electro-magnetic field.
Apart from being a legal requirement in many
countries, the attention to design implicit in full compliance,
gives a more robust and reliable product.
The Product.
Musicom manufactures a comprehensive
range of product that is specific to the church organ market.
The product encompasses an integrated
philosophy that allows seamless integration of pipe organ control,
digital, real time synthesis, and percussions such
as chimes and bells. Either of these can be used in isolation,
with no cost penalty, or combined together to create a powerful,
cost efficient solution.
The modular plug-in design uses
professional connectors throughout to ensure total reliability,
whilst allowing installer flexibility. Industry standard 19" rack
form is used to house the modules. |
