Metro Subway Station PA - Sound where it is needed

Creating acoustic consistency in hard spaces, such as metro stations, is difficult for existing directional speaker technology; resonance, bounce and reverberation all muffle and distort traditional station installations.

FeONIC Audio Drive technology overcomes these problems. It produces clear, focused sound, without the need for intrusive speakers, and without any bounce, echo or distortion. Your passengers will not be able to believe the difference (and nor will you). Find out more about how FeONIC Audio Drive technology works, and how it increases speech intelligibility and passenger safety.

Some of the uses of FeONIC Audio Drive technology in metro stations include:

• Platform Screen Door safety messages
• Platform Edge Doors
• Automatic Platform Gates
• Targeted or broadcast PA audio
• Advertisements and marketing
• Targeted local area information

Platform Screen Doors & Edge Doors & Gates

The increasing use of Platform Screen Doors (PSDs) creates a unique opportunity to inform, entertain, advertise and communicate with passengers. FeONIC Audio Drive technology provides audio to passengers in a more controlled and technologically sophisticated way than can possibly be achieved with traditional speaker systems. FeONIC Audio Drives simply need to be integrated onto the rear of the glass platform screen doors and provide a high intelligibility audio message in the immediate vicinity.

Surface Panel Speakers

Metro stations usually have low ceilings which are lined with cladded panels. These cladding panels can be powered by FeONIC audio to produce clear concise audio information for passengers as they move through the station. This is also a significant benefit for safety systems to enable emergency announcements to be heard more clearly.

Dirt, Dust, Weather and Vandal Proof PA Speakers

Another advantage of using FeONIC audio in Metro stations is that because there are no traditional speakers todays real problems of speakers clogging up with iron deposits from train brakes would not occur, nor can speakers be vandalised as nothing is visible.
