On the 8th September 2008, the petition to ban the use of Mosquito in the European Parliament officially failed, with only 10% of MEP’s voting for a BAN.

Whilst the majority of Local Authorities, Police forces and private businesses are continuing to use the Mosquito, a few have felt that they are no longer able to use them due to local public youth pressure.

For those that find themselves in that situation, CSS Ltd. are pleased to announce the launch of the Music Mosquito - Mood Calming System! The Music Mosquito - Mood Calming System does not play high frequency tones, rather it is a completely self contained music system that will play either Royalty free Classical or Chill-out music instead.



how Music Mosquito - Mood Calming System compares in cost to playing music via a stereo system in a public place

Playing classic music outside shops and shopping centres to discourage teenagers is a techniques that has been used for sometime with moderate effect. This is usually accomplished using a simple in-store stereo music systems. This has several drawbacks not least of which is that the speakers used are generally not weather proof.

in addition, many people do not realise that broadcasting music in a public place requires two licenses. One is a license from the PRS (Performing Rights Society) and the other is from the PPL (Public Performance License).

With the Music Mosquito - Mood Calming System these two licenses are NOT required as the music broadcast is the sole property of Compound Security Systems Ltd.

Below you will see what the annual costs are of purchasing the correct licenses are on an annual basis.

As an example, lets take a shop which including its curtelidge is 100Sq/m.

If one uses a normal music system and downloaded or even purchased music, the PPL fee will be £110.66 + VAT per year and the PRS fee will be £131.40 + VAT per year making a total annual license cost of £242.06.

This is in addition to the cost of the equipment required to broadcast the music externally.

With the Music Mosquito - Mood Calming System there are NO annual license fees.
