Entertainment System

mercedes bmw rolls. even cadil have sound systems for under 10k that far surpass our 50k system

Good afternoon Jeffrey,

With all due respect, comparing your aircraft to high end automobiles is a failed equation from numerous perspectives.

From a very fundamental viewpoint, a Mercedes S class has 109.4 cubic feet of interior volume compared to a Gulfstream IV which has approximately 1,345 cubic feet of interior cabin volume. Simply stated, your GIV has over 12 times the cubic volume in the cabin area of which sound is introduced.

When an audio system is designed for a particular car, the manufacturer of the audio equipment is the one who designs and manufactures the equipment. When everyone is happy with the performance of the system, the manufacture builds thousands of the exact same equipment - not a one off system.

Jeffrey I am not looking for excuses. We are highly involved installing entertainment equipment in many aircraft like yours. Using car audio in aircraft is almost non-existent today, but we made an exception to please you. We presented various system's and cost "seemed" to have been the driving and deciding factor.

Most aircraft entertainment system cost anywhere from $200,000 to $300,000 and as high as $1.0M. They are fully digital systems with components specifically designed for aircraft that take into account size, weight, video and acoustic performance.

I want to help you but aside from locating the "buzz" when the speakers are energized and having you present when we "tune the system" (which we can do with you on Friday morning when you arrive in about 1 hours time), I believe this system is at the highest point of its performance capabilities.

If you want to look at other options, then let's talk about this avenue. I want you to be happy - but realistic.

Please call me when you have read through this e-mail and have a moment to discuss where we are and where you want to be.

Respectfully,

Eric
