Heathrow sounding great thanks to Bradford firm
A YORKSHIRE company which specialises in supplying professional audio systems has completed a major project at Heathrow Airport's new terminal.
Bradford-based Pro Audio Systems won the contract to advise World Duty Free on the most innovative way to operate a fully integrated sound and visual media marketing package in its stores.
Working with London retail design agency JHP and Sony, the company created an integrated network of high quality audio systems in 13 zones across seven World Duty Free stores in the terminal.
Each zone had specific requirements varying from beauty areas and cocktail bars to arrivals areas.
The provision of clear and intelligible audio was the primary goal, coupled with designs that reflected the ambience of the store, all linked into an innovative software system.
Mark Riches, World Duty Free managing director, said: ” We are delighted with the results. Pro Audio Systems have helped us to realise our ambition of delivering a world class store, with world class and ground breaking systems. The audio system is second to none and a real first in travel retail.”
Pro Audio Systems, established 1988, has a customer base which includes English Heritage, West Yorkshire Playhouse, Natural History Museum, and the National Museum of Photography Film & Television.
