Purpose

With the continuing rollout of more and more LRT stations in Edmonton, the group maintains its need to install audio equipment for notifications and paging so that announcements can be heard by all customers and staff clearly.

Challenge

This application is very challenging with open outdoor platforms over a large space. Primary challenges included efficiently dispersing the sound directly to the people on the platform, and ensuring sound is clear and intelligible  even over ambient noise to create a safe environment.

Solution

TOA's large selection of speakers made it possible to analyze the situation and have our team design a system with speakers that answered those questions. TOA recommend the CS-304 Wide Range Weatherproof Speaker and PJ-304 Projection Speaker. Both speakers are built to last, can handle the outdoor environments and deliver crisp consistent sound. They are also easy to install and adjustable, which allows for easy manipulation to get the correct angel.

Feedback

The Edmonton Transit System group is ecstatic with the sound of the speakers and continues to use them across the Edmonton LRT stations.
