Bill -
First - My apologies for not having sent this to your earlier this summer. I
had written to Ron Baker, our I-Net engineer, in July and he had written
back that we would need "left and right channels." I knew he had provided a
more detailed description to me by phone last spring, but it took your
reminder for me to follow up with him for more detail. You'll find that
below.
I got your follow up phone message from a couple of days ago, and understand
that you'll be going before the Selectmen sometime in the next couple of
weeks. Now that I've finally gotten the stereo information, would you mind
clarifying what else it is that you need from me? I know you mentioned an
annual performance review... and I know you held that public meeting last
spring, but I'm unclear on what it is that you're looking for now.
Next week should be a tad calmer for me than the last two have been. Please
feel free to call me in North Reading for follow-up questions/discussion.
Thanks very much. - Jane

> Jane, specifications on stereo are:
> * separate left and right audio channels,
> * each channel will be a high impedance output of-approximately I OK
> ohms,
> * capable of delivering from 1 to 4 volts peak signal.
> * frequency range should equal to 50-20,0004z,
> * frequency response across that range should. be within 2%.
> * channel separating should be 45db or better.
> Now with that said, no matter the signal quality they deliver, it will be
> sent to the residential in about the same condition. So quality wise its
> in the best interest of the studio to produce a high duality signal.
> Let me know if you need anything further.
