     NSM
Jukebox
In the
Jukebox industry, NSM Music Inc. is a name to reckon
with. Pioneering efforts like the carriage which
traveled from side to side introduced in 1960s, has made the
company and its products popular, even as its jukeboxes were
found to be much simpler than that of competitors like
Seeburg Corporation.
Though they
have the manufacturing line much later than the Americans,
NSM and their NSM jukebox emerged as a leader. The
reason for the popularity lies in the fact right from the
1960s, NSM has been vibrant to move with times. From records
to CDs, to internet jukeboxes and web duplication of CD, NSM
is not merely moving with times, but keeping
ahead.
Features:
The NSM
jukebox is known for it’s smooth cabinets with their
unbeatable designs. They made world standards gasp
with their designs, way back in the 1960s,
providing the jukebox, a carriage functioning on parallel
tracks, to make selection of records
easier.
When records
vanished NSM came up the NSM CD mechanism, answering the
changing needs of people. While others had
only changed gripper arms to take the smaller diameter CD,
NSM provided a revolutionary stacking mechanism, reducing
storage space, in as much as the tiny instrument with 100
CDs can be mounted on a wall. When the 1990s came
around, it’s popularity made NSM suspend production of the
free standing NSM
jukebox.
In the
Internet age, they introduced the web NSM jukebox powered by
the E cast Music Network, enabling browsers to select songs
from a 300,000+ library, automatically adding the latest
releases every week, with the exclusive “Single Song
Download”, “Make Mine First – selection options”, which are
configured to the web design.
Going a step
further, NSM has introduced the Satellite CD Duplicator,
geared for a high-performance, cost-effective way to
duplicate CDs. Operating both on a stand-alone
or network system mode, NSM's Satellite 03, has three
12x read/4x write drives, utilizing Smart
Storage's Smart CD Duplicator software, which creates an
incredible 12 650-MB discs every hour, by using all
accessible recorders at the same time.
Historical
Perspective:
The earliest
tracks of jukeboxes came with metal dividers with spring
loaded pins that were made to move by a moving truck. Though
reliable to begin with, in later years the systems were not
functioning with unsuitable fitting plugs and dirty
contacts.
Pioneering
efforts of NSM continued into the 1970's, when plastic
dividers, which were damaging records, was replaced, giving
way to microprocessor ES Control and Credit Unit (CCU), and
later came ES2, ES3 versions, while ES5 became the
prototype. The pioneering efforts also made NSM Music
USA, to introduce into the market Tab Fun4Four, a 4 player
game table with games, including Texas Hold 'Em, to keep
customers engaged all night. NSM Music, Inc, really
came to revolutionize the jukebox industry via the NSM
jukebox.
