Transport

Good, clear communication is a necessity in all mass terminals, for broadcasting arrival and departure announcements, and general passenger information.

T. G. Baker (Sound) Ltd has enjoyed much success in this area, installing systems at Clapham Junction, St. Pancras and Euston Stations in London, Birmingham International Station and the Mersey Rail.

The sound system for Birmingham had to serve five 300m long platforms, a large inner concourse and an outer concourse that leads to the National Exhibition Centre and Birmingham International Airport.

CASE STUDY: 1

Euston Station, London

Birmingham International Station's sound and communication system combats the severe noise interference from its surrounding environment.

Up to 25 trains use the station per hour and aeroplanes are continually taking off nearby. This sound interference was overcome by T. G. Baker (Sound) Ltd using ambient noise sensing and automatic volume control. A new speaker specifically for platforms was designed and produced by ourselves, with CD horn speakers fitted into custom-built cabinets to ensure all passengers hear all announcements intelligibly.
