"BSS Audio Brooke Siren Systems after founders Chas Brooke and Stan Gould. Stan tells the story this way: "At the time that Chas and I started Brooke Siren Systems as a small private business, I was already trading as a freelance designer/consultant with the Registered Company Name of Siren Controls. Just for interest, I saddled myself with this name more by way of accident than design. My very first commission was to design and build a Mobile Discotheque for a "friend of a friend of a friend" in the 1970s. It was a tight budget job, and the facia panels were homemade by myself, labeled with Letraset and finished with a spray can lacquer. In order to put a bolder logo on my fine piece of work without forking out for another sheet of transfers I had to come up with a workable anagram from the title block at the top of my single sheet of 10 point Helvetica, and with some bodging, SIREN CONTROLS was my best effort. When we came to name BSS, I vetoed "Brooke Gould Systems", and offered the Siren instead. (Brooke Siren Controls abbreviated down to a shoe or sugar company - or something, hence 'Systems'.)" (alespoň takhle to píší u RANE) Tuhle firmu jsem měl taky vždycky celkem rád, už proto, že jsem podobně jako oni (jenom o pár let později a v zemi, kde podnikat byl zločin) mastil Propisotem popisy předních panelů a snažil se, aby to dělalo profesionálnější dojem, než ve skutečnosti bylo, ale mám pocit, že pod Harmanem to s nimi jde z kopce stejnou rychlostí, jako s Crownem, JBL atd.
