Tour of Aiphone’s new Thailand factory
Audio Products Group’s fourth annual Aiphone Key Dealer Seminar was recently held in Thailand. The seminar was attended by representatives of the Top 12 Aiphone dealers from Australia and New Zealand, APG’s senior management, as well as the President of Aiphone Mr. Ichikawa and the General Manager International Sales Department Mr. Matsumoto.
During the seminar, APG’s key Aiphone dealers had the opportunity to visit Aiphone’s newest factory in Chonburi, located 1.5 hours southeast of Bangkok. Dealers were able to see first-hand where the Aiphone JB, MK and GF intercoms are manufactured and where the new GH system will be manufactured. Aiphone dealers were taken on a detailed tour of the facility by the Managing Director of the factory, Mr. Asano, who was responsible for overseeing the construction and setup of the factory.
The highlight of the tour was witnessing the commitment to quality control by all the staff at the factory, which is reflected in the reliability and quality of the product. All who visited the factory were very impressed with the facility which is equipped with the very latest technology. All in all, a worthwhile trip!

Single coil Pick-Up
Single coil pick-ups consist of six magnets (one under each string) which are surrounded by one continuous coil of wire. Single coils are excellent for thinner more percussive styles of playing. Single coils are also susceptible to 50-60 cycle hum which can be a problem if using a high gain setting on an amplifier.
Sound Reinforcement
Traditionally this term was used for exactly what it states, i.e. the amplification of audio signals in a "live" situation, be that a sound system for a live concert or a theatre of any sort, or a Public Announcement type system etc. In the last few decades the usage of the term has expanded to include most sound installations both permanent and portable, and in practice covers almost any type of sound system installation except those used in homes and recording studios.
