Silverburn Shopping Centre, Glasgow
Silverburn Shopping Centre in the south side of Glasgow is the city's newest shopping destination. The centre is open 7-day's a week and includes all of the usual high street brands with major names such as Marks & Spencer, Debenhams and Tesco.
We were involved from the initial design concept stage with the architect and consulting engineers. The centre was opened in a number of phases and we provided the main PA/VA system and Disabled Refuge system.

Manchester United FC
In 1993 our company was awarded the contract for Manchester United Football Club's Old Trafford Stadium. This was the first stadium in the country to be fitted with a PA/VA system that was fully compliant with all relevant standards at that time.
The primary function of the system was to provide highly intelligible Voice Alarm and Public Address announcements to comply with the requirements of BS7443 and BS5839 in an environment that often had very high ambient noise levels.
We are very proud to have been retained by the club as their Specialist Sound Contractor since then.
In 2005 when the club decided to increase their ground capacity to 75,000 we were commissioned to design, supply, install and commission a replacement system that would cope with the increased capacity and provide full range music for entertainment purposes.
We worked closely with Peter Mapp who acts as the clubs Acoustic Consultant to provide a design that would meet the specification given by the client. The new system was based around the latest Digital Technology for Signal Routing and Processing (DSP). Touch screen paging microphone consoles with bespoke graphical indication and fault reporting software were included.
A complex matrix of full range high quality loudspeakers and associated amplifiers were provided. The club is now the proud owner of what we consider to be a world class sound system.
A maintenance contract is in place to ensure that the system is kept up to specification at all times. A remote fault diagnostic facility is included that allows us direct on-line access to the system from anywhere to assist with our maintenance backup.
