AV: Axys Intellivox Loudspeakers Deliver Clarity For New Terminal ...

Sound Productions, a Dublin based Intellivox dealer, has recently supplied AXYS Intellivox units as part of the public address system at the new T2 building at the Dublin Airport.

Dublin Airport’s Terminal 2 project included a new terminal building, boarding gate pier, combined heat and power facility as well as 19 new aircraft parking stands, and an upgraded airport road network.

Terminal 2, which has already won a major design award for its use of structural steel, was built by a consortium comprising of Arup Acoutics, Mace construction management, Pascall+Watson architects and construction consultant Davis Langdon PKS.

With its steel and glass facade, the new terminal makes use of natural light to create a modern and comfortable space for both departing and arriving passengers. However, for Arup Acoustics, the acoustic and electro-acoustic designers on the project, all these hard surfaces posed several challenges.

“With support from the Duran Audio technical team, we were able to customize the system to cover crucial areas in the terminal. The most acoustically challenging spaces in the terminal were in the landside,” Pierpaolo Pilla from Arup Acoustics explains. “The large areas in this part of the terminal only allowed a certain degree of control of reverberation.  Fortunately these big areas were free of obstacles and the use of active phased arrays was a viable option.”

“Satisfactory architectural integration was achieved by the use of active phased arrays at check in, landside arrivals and landside departures, and by the use of passive arrays at security.”

AXYS Intellivox units were used in these key landside areas to ensure that the messages from the PA system were clear and intelligible. In total 8 AXYS Intellivox units were installed in the check-in and security areas.

“We had worked with Intellivox before on other types of installations” said Peadar Carley from Sound Productions.  “This was our first experience of using them in an airport environment. The experience that we had gained with the product previously in churches and other acoustically challenging environments gave us great confidence in the solution and we weren’t disappointed.”

“The Intellivox speakers are performing very well, providing highly intelligible paging and emergency announcements over large expansive areas in the check-in building.
