Panphonics delivers directional sound concept at United Spaces

Directional Audio creates limited sound zones in open-plan commercial office space

ISE 2012, Amsterdam, 31st January – 2nd February

Stand: #10K113

Tampere, Finland, 1 February 2012 – Panphonics, the directional audio expert, has supplied its Sound Shower® directional audio speakers to create discrete sound atmospheres within the open plan office solution provided at United Spaces in Stockholm, Sweden. The United Spaces concept directs specific audio to specific areas to create ambience and enhance the user experience depending on how the space is used.

Lexter Technology and Sound AB, a Swedish sound design company and project partner for Panphonics, used Sound Shower speakers in all public areas as they create a highly focused and directional audio footprint that delivers sound to the intended target without disturbing the surrounding area.

In the public lounge area, screens showing news channels and seminars are provided with Sound Shower speakers so tenants and visitors can choose to use a zone with or without audio. Strong sound pressure levels delivered by the speakers eliminate any interference outside the sound zone and automatic volume adjustment based on ambient noise levels ensures adequate volume during peak times.

A directional sound arena – a debate room where conferences can be held in an open space without disturbance – is another example of the innovative use of directional audio at United Spaces. In the corridors, directional sound is used to transmit audio content with natural sounds of the forest, shore or meadow, creating a pleasant working environment.

Panphonics directional audio is also being used in digital signage applications to increase awareness of the visual messages, thereby increase advertising revenues without creating more background noise in already busy public areas. The speakers reproduce all voices clearly, even at very low volumes, making it easy for the listener to hear and understand the audio message.
