Purpose

To develop a new higher performing audio and public address sound system during the redevelopment of the Banff Gondola Upper Terminal. There was a need for improved voice intelligibility, decreased reverberation and aesthetically pleasing speakers.

Challenge

The terminal has three levels with many rooms of varying sizes and contours. Using speakers whose sound dispersion allowed correct sound directive to all areas of the terminal to reduce reverberation. The equipment needed to be easily integrated to the sound system head. It was also a necessity to find speaker and were eye pleasing.

Solution

When searching for speakers for the terminal TOA products continued to come up in conversation. Buy choosing the PE-604BU they received a stylish designed speaker ideal for Background Music and ULC 1480/ULC 541 rated. Down sound directive to focus sound downward towards the audience. The F-1300 wide dispersion speakers placed on the wall provided the clarity guided towards all parts of the terminal. Quality speakers with reliable and intelligible sound. 

Feedback

TOA’s PE pendants and F-1300 wide dispersion speakers look and performed wonderfully. Banff Management was very happy with the new sound and definitely noticed a increased intelligibility which improved the sound quality of the back ground music and for public announcements.
