Purpose
McDonald’s objective was to update and standardize their audio system in their restaurants across the province. Desiring to create an atmosphere the customer will remember, like a favourite song or movie from their youth, McDonald’s wants its customers to have warm and fond memories of their McDonald’s experience. McDonald’s believes that their audio system is an important component of its core values: quality, service, cleanliness, and value.
Challenge
McDonald’s and their franchisees created an audio system that was versatile, easy to operate, durable, reliable, and fit the needs of the restaurant, all while conforming to McDonald’s high standards. No small feat in itself, this installation (or installations rather) also needed to consist of a solution that could be configured and optimized to the various shapes and styles of restaurants across the province.
Solution
The A‐9120 Mixer Amplifier allows for multiple programmable zones within the restaurant. McDonald’s decided on two zones, one zone in the lobby and one zone for the play‐place. This programming works well for McDonald’s as they are able to reach their target audiences accordingly.
Feedback
McDonald's was very happy with the A-9000 series and ceiling speakers because the integrator was able to duplicate the first system and then use it in other restaurants. This created a fool proof and consistent installation and maintained one sound for McDonald's.
