Client: Entertainment Company

Location: Ontario, CA Distribution Center

Warehouse Size: 600,000 sq feet

Project Overview: AV Planners was contracted to install a new Public Address (PA) system at an Ontario, CA distribution center. The goal was to enhance the clarity of announcements and provide background music capabilities throughout the extra-large warehouse.

Objectives:

  1. Improve the intelligibility and coverage of announcements.
  2. Include functionality for background music.

System Features:

  • Speakers: 40 QSC Acoustic Design speakers mounted around the warehouse for even sound distribution with eight control zones.
  • Announce Station: Located at the front desk, a QSC ZIP4-3G page station with a Shure gooseneck microphone provides clear announcements with simple operation.
  • Central Equipment: Installed in the Intermediate Distribution Frame (IDF), a QSYS Core 8 Flex system processor and CX-Q amplifier manage audio inputs, streaming music, and zone control.

Installation Plan:

  1. Preparation: Coordinate with the facilities team to make sure a smooth installation process is going well.
  2. Speaker Installation: Mount QSC speakers and run cabling neatly along the ceiling.
  3. Announce Station Setup: Install and test the announce station for functionality.
  4. Central Equipment Setup: Set up the central processing and amplification equipment.
  5. Background Music: Configure the system for streaming background music and ensure balanced audio levels.

Benefits:

  • Enhanced communication with clear, intelligible announcements.
  • It improved the work environment with background music.
  • A future-proof system with QSYS technology integration.

Conclusion: The project successfully improved the audio communication capabilities within the distribution center, providing announcement clarity and background music to enhance the work environment. For more details or additional information, please get in touch with AV Planners directly.
