Typical Application

  • PA and background music applications for public places : glass, plasterboard, aluminum, steel composite board, wood floors, MDF etc
       
  • Transport systems : embedded into bus shelters, surface claddings,buses and train interiors
       
  • Invisible audio : embedded audio floors in clubs, Grade 1 listed buildings and domestic sound systems
       
  • Whispering Window ® : proven retail promotion tool (sales uplift of >50%), Windows in hospitality suits and stadia, patio doors, smoking shelters, 2 way comms through security screens
       
  • Speech intelligibility : PA systems require high intelligibility. EN 60849/1998 requires higher levels of intelligibility and clarity for public places. Hitech F Drives provide a more even distribution of sound than directional traditional speakers - the whole panel becomes the speaker cone, creating an omnidirectional, evenly distributed output. The frequency response of the output is not affected by the position of the listener relative to the sounder so all valuable speech information is communicated unlike directional solutions.
