Jean Coutu Group, Varennes, QC
The Jean Coutu Group (PJC) Inc. is the leading Drugstore Chain in Québec, New Brunswick and Ontario. They provide high quality products for health, beauty and hygiene in efficient and friendly environments.
Purpose
Distribution centers are incredibly noisy and reverberant environments. Jean Coutu's warehouse is no exception. The corporation needed to meet SPL (sound pressure levels) and control reverberation so that paging communications could be heard intelligibly.
Challenge
This entire project was based around compliance with SPL regulations, as such the main challenge this project faced was that TOA locked into devising a system meets the SPL (sound pressure level) required.
Solution
Siscom worked with TOA Canada Corporation to meet the requirements of Jean Coutu Group which included a combination of Paging Horn Speakers and Ceiling Speakers. TOA's SC-630T is a compact, highly intelligible speaker known for providing clear and intelligible public address announcements. The Paging Horn speakers are certified to IP65 standards for dust and water protection. The F-2352SC 2-way wide dispersion ceiling speakers are ideal for office areas or smaller areas where well-balanced sound can be heard uniformly at any location. The head end of the project includes TOA's 9000 Series Modular Digital Matrix Mixer/Amplifier. This amplifier provides zone paging and DSP. The speakers are driven by TOA's DA Series Power Amplifiers.
Feedback
TOA received an excellent review for the performance of the PA system and the service TOA provided.
