Now that's a set of speakers to talk about. I may have something to do with the cones and bass spheres and always enjoy working with Ferguson Hill. The man behind these speakers is an audio wizard.

British loudspeaker designer Ferguson Hill announced that its Jetstream Loudspeaker System is now available and shipping as a complete system. The Jetstream, two decades in the making, builds on the seminal FH001 sound system. Twenty years after unveiling its debut system, Ferguson Hill's lates...

When the Melaphone® Speech Unit was designed 50 years ago for the booking offices at British Rail stations, nobody could have predicted that half a century later it would suddenly be in such high demand.

The current Corona Virus Pandemic had created an urgent need for all protective equipment - both for personal use and in the working environment. This is the reason the Melaphone® has come into its own again. Its unique design, with its resonating membrane and air-sealed construction, make it the ideal device to install in any situation where face-to-face communication occurs. It not only offers protection from air-borne viruses and pathogens, it also enhances and clarifies the frequently muffled sound when people speak through a screen. Its protective credentials have been certified to ISO 16555 Class 5 - indeed, it has often been specified by architects and designers for use in hospitals, laboratories and cleanrooms or anywhere hygiene is of paramount importance. It is a simple but really ingenious invention which requires no servicing, wiring or electrical supply. And it is very easy to keep clean and safe with an antiseptic wipe.

The Melaphone® has now been built into the new Defender Virus Screens produced by the company and numerous doctors’ surgeries, medical centres, clinics and pharmacies in the UK have had these screens installed with considerable success and approval. The screens are individually made and every component is of the highest quality, giving a clean, sleek and professional appearance in any health-care environment.

The Melaphone® is still available as a stand-alone unit for installation into walls, glass or plastic screens, windows or doors. It can easily be retro-fitted into existing structures and requires no special skill to install. The range has also been expanded to meet the growing demand for the units. In addition to the original brushed aluminium model there is a stainless steel model, a white powder-coated aluminium model and the newest and highly successful Himacs acrylic-resin model, which is at a very popular price.

All of these models are available from stock and can be purchased from Melaphone VisAudio.

We were commsioned to design and fabricate a very large acrylic jar for Prostate Cancer UK for an awareness campaign on the South Bank. The jar had to hold 8-10 men standing together inside.

Another succesful launch. 16' ship in a bottle delivered & installed in Belguim over the weekend to symbolize the disparity between necessary bare essentials such as milk going up in price and the price of weaponary going down....a gr***de for 5 Euros.
This disproportionate pricing is symbolized with a paper 5 Euro tank inside a milk bottle. Well done Tom Herck. A very apt and thought provoking comparison.
