Hospital

Restigouche Hospital is a treatment facility for patients with mental health issues, as well as an assessment facility for the courts.

Purpose

The hospital needed an emergency broadcast system that would function 24/7 with supervision capabilities, allowing for intelligible everyday paging, as well as emergency communications. The system needed to be operational at all times for the safety of the staff and patients. It also needed to be able to operate during extended power outages and have a battery backup that was reliable over a 24-hour period of time.

Challenge

The planning and logistics of this project's design were quite the obstacles. The hospital is divided into 15 paging zones throughout the 7-building facility. A main communication room houses the PA (public address) system for the entire facility.

Solution

The gym and Chapel have their own system, which is included in the all-call paging and emergency broadcast via the VM-3000 Integrated Voice Evacuation System.

The gym has four HX-5 compact line array speakers hung centrally that are powered by TOA’s DA-500 multi-channel digital amplifier. The inputs are controlled through an M-9000M2 pre-amplifier. The system also uses TOA's 5000 Series UHF wireless microphone system and a remote panel (ZM-9002) to control the volume.

In the Chapel are wide dispersion ceiling speakers (TOA's F-Series ceiling speakers) and a 5000 Series UHF wireless microphone system. The system is powered by the A-9000 Series modular digital matrix mixer/amplifier. The chapel has a remote panel to control the volume.

Feedback

as per the lead technician on this project; “the system design was complex in its functionality. With TOA's products, the installation was achieved easily allowing for flexibility and a key feature set through the use of the products.”

FEATURED PRODUCTS

VM-3000 Series

Cost-effective system for small to medium sized applications.

The VM-3000 is a cost-effective integrated public address and voice alarm system. It is designed to fulfil the EN 54 European regulation for voice alarm and also engineered with powerful digital signal processor (DSP), ensuring high quality audio broadcasting for proper speech intelligibility. The compact design enables the system to fit best in various small to medium sized applications such as schools, shopping centres or restaurants.

HX-5

Full area coverage and wider bandwidth sound.

The HX-5 is an innovative modular speaker design that incorporates the best characteristics of the traditional, cumbersome woofer enclosure combined with a CD horn-loaded high frequency driver and the full-range compact speaker enclosure without the drawbacks associated with each type. the HX-5 features remarkably easy to control coverage characteristics including problematic low frequencies and can be installed in a multitude of ways while maintaining a modern, unobtrusive appearance. a system is configured by four preassembled modules with four IF drivers and twelve HF dome tweeters. This configuration allows the variable directivity control and low-frequency dispersion control comparable to use a large constant directivity horn speaker. a choice of 4 directivity angles (15, 30, 45 and 60 degrees) can be employed as needed.

5000 Series UHF Wireless System

Highest flexibility for fixed installations.

Our 5000 Series is the ideal choice for fixed installations of any kind. Whether in concert halls, event halls, churches, stadiums, schools, conference rooms or elsewhere – on the spark gaps of our 5000 Series you can rely on! This unique flexibility gives you the freedom you need to dimension your radio system exactly as it is needed, but without being limited in terms of future system expansions in the configuration.

M-9000M2

Unparalleled DSP mixer ideal for multi-zone paging, music distribution and room-combining applications.

M-9000M2 Digital Matrix Mixer

Multi-Channel Power Amplifier

Top-of-the-line operation and performance efficiency.

The DA-Series multi-channel power amplifiers offer a wide choice of power ratings, advanced Class D amplification circuitry and a highly efficient AC mains to output power ratio for the complete technological superiority it takes to support longterm installation applications. These energy-efficient, space-saving amplifiers are designed to combine high levels of performance and efficiency, and are well-suited to ensure sound reinforcement reliability in a wide range of venues.
