Market Research Results: The leading sound booth company is Acoustic Systems. However, they do not offer true cam-lock wall construction and do not offer a single-walled booth smaller than 7 0 by 6 8 exterior without custom construction. - Therefore, the basic requirements for removal and size cannot be met. Another sound room company IAC Audiometrics offers only a pre-constructed welded booth of comparable size. No cam-lock option. No long window available for this booth. Small Maico booths are lacking the cam-lock construction and large door window needed for veteran population. - QuietTest booth lacks cam-lock and is too small for our patients.

No options for additional quantities or extension of terms of service were considered.
