Piped music system in toilets ?

[Welchyboy]

Just been refurbishing the toilet blocks in a school and the school govenor has said he now wants what he called 'Piped music system installed in the toilet, soft music to calm down the kids', any one installed anything like this before, is it just speakers and some amp/player in another room or what, he seems to think its a kit you buy??

Calming music in toilets ? is there a specific tempo of music conducive to opening one's bowels ?
Also need to make sure the soft calming music dosn't venture into the realms of romantic. Not great for a toilet environment in a school.


As for any actual advice, sorry I can't help you there.

if you want cheap and simple try these

Bathroom Store - KBSounds - KB Sounds Ceiling Radio Kit White - KBSounds - KB Sounds Ceiling Radio Kit White | UK Choice Shops Ltd

if he wants a full address system it wont be cheap and seems a bit overkill for some toilet music

or if he wants to spend real money

Audio Design Services Limited - ADS30PLUS BACKGROUND MUSIC (CEILING) KIT - ADS30P/BMK/C4

InOut RePlay MP3 player from Big Sound Ltd - InOut Replay MP3 player - Media Players - BIG | SOUND


the inout unit would replace the radio or cd player and can be progd for class change tones and music etc,depends on the size if the school really

FFS when I was a kid, schools were places you went to learn stuff in a structured, disciplined environment; nowadays they seem more like youth clubs or holiday camps or something.

This place is always good for cheap and cheerful audio equipment; you'll need a few 100v line ceiling speakers and amplifier, wired in 2 core flex rather than normal speaker cable as it will be above touch voltage.

Speakers in a school toilet...the kids are going to think Christmas has come early. I'd be more worried about finding an installation method that would mean they stay put even with little fingers pulling at them.

 

[Andy78]

I don't think it matters what sort of speakers are fitted, they will be bunged up wth toilet paper mache within a week anyhow.

Re: Piped music system in toilets ? Invisble speaker ?

If your worried about speakers getting clogged up or vandalised you could try fitting an invisible speaker from the likes of sonance .

Absolutely - who ever learned anything from a teacher just standing there talking to them and writing stuff down on something as primitive as a blackboard?
No, for children to learn they must be pampered with the best gadgets that money can buy. In this age of equality every child leaves school with a certificate and an equal chance of getting the same job whether they bothered to try learning anything or not, but obviously that isn't going to happen for free - loads of money needs to be thrown at it.
Loads of 'government money'... Which comes from the government.

I'm saying there's nothing wrong with 'traditional' teaching methods, which don't have to cost a fortune.
... And there's nothing wrong with being the best at something.

Lol, yeah rather spend the money on a new cane and let them kiss the gunners daughter every morning after assembly.

granted i got taught the old way,but that was when a computer was the size of a house and you could still call it a blackboard,we still had the old desks with the fountain pen wells,tho we didnt use fountain pens,i wish i was at school these days,wouldnt need that debbie harry poster on the bedroom wall for one..

 

[Marvo]

I'm sure it'sall relative, when you were at school your parents probably thought pen and paper was spoiling you after they suffered with using slates.
