This is a recommendation on whether to purchase a Goober sound board or a Deco sound board for
the Technical Services Crew at the Student Center. Over the past few years, we have rented a sound
board when bands or other large speaking groups come to the Student Centre. The rental costs run
from 200-500 dollars, and now that money has been allocated to buy a sound board, we should
seriously consider purchasing one. The use we will get out of the board will make it pay for itself in
two or three years. This memo will detail my recommendation as to which board to purchase.
I recommend we purchase the Goober XS-2000 24-channel sound board. Greg Newman, the Tech
Crew Chief, and I have compared the Goober XS-2000 to the Deco TXS-260 24-channel board in audio
magazines and by talking to people who have used the Goober board and the Deco board. We found
the Goober board better. We compared the boards in terms of these criteria: features,
reliability/experience, and cost.
The first criterion is the features. This is the most important factor in deciding which sound board to
purchase. We are looking for a sound board that provides 24 channels in and 8 lines out. The lines
out are used for sound effects and equalization. The more ‘outs’ you have , the better
the sound will be . This is what the Goober XS-2000 has: 24 channels in and 8 lines out. The Deco TXS-
260 has 24 channels in and only 6 lines out. We find it necessary to have 8 lines out because we want
to offer bands the best-quality sound possible.
Reliability is another important factor. Goober and Deco are both reputable companies that make
good sound boards, but when it comes down to operating at maximum efficiency, we feel the Goober
board can offer us better reliability. I had the opportunity to speak with Will Hodges of Southern
Thunder Sound, a sound rental company from which we have renteo sound boards. He said that most
bands that come in to rent his equipment rent the Goober boards because they are easier to work
with and don’t break down as often as the Deco boards. Mr. Hodges’s opinion lends further credibility
to my recommendation that we purchase the Goober board.
Greg and I have had experience working with both boards. Once when we rented a Deco board, a loud
buzzing sound began to be emitted from the speakers halfway through the concert. We did everything
we could, but the buzzing continued throughout the concert. On the occasions when we have worked
with a Goober board, it has operated without any problems.
The cost is the criterion. We have allocated an amount of 3500 dollars to purchase a sound board.
The Deco TXS-260 is 2800 dollars with a two-year limited warranty. The Goober XS-2000 is 3600
dollars with a five-year limited warranty. We have dealt with this Goober dealer before, and she said
she would knock 300 dollars off the total price – a 4300-dollar value for 3300 dollars. A 1000 dollar
saving. Although the Deco board is less expensive, we should spend the extra 500 dollars for a better
board with a longer warranty, greater reliability, and a free 100- foot snake.
