Van Don International takes off with Harman
- Details
Located on the west coast of the province Quảng Ninh, Van Don International Airport covers an area of 800 acres and contains a single runway. Handling 2.5m passengers and 10,000 cargo tons per year, the airport is equipped with four jet bridges, four baggage carousels, eight security gates and 31 check-in counters.
Wanting to enhance its facility and provide travellers with clear announcements, Van Don International required a modern airport audio system that also helps workers communicate and streamlines productivity. Using JBL Professional loudspeakers, Crown amplification and BSS signal processing, Ba Sao deployed a solution that delivers quality sound across the airport.
“The client required a highly flexible and scalable solution that can support the airport’s audio and communication requirements,” said a spokesperson for Ba Sao Invest Co. “After evaluating their requirements, we decided to use Harman’s audio equipment to provide superb speech intelligibility and audio coverage at the airport. We set up JBL open-back ceiling speakers coupled with pattern control speakers to deliver maximum clarity across the airport.”
Ba Sao selected an assortment of JBL Professional loudspeakers including JBL 8138 and 8128 full-range, open-back ceiling speakers and Control 23-1 two-way, ultra-compact modelss.
CBT 100LA-LS line array column loudspeakers provide pattern control and vertical coverage.
For announcements throughout the facility, Ba Sao selected JBL CSS-H30 paging horns and AKG PZM11 LL WR boundary laundry microphones. For outdoor areas, Ba Sao deployed JBL Control 85M coaxial landscape speakers.
Powered by Crown DCi 8|300N and CT16S amplifiers, the system is configured and integrated using BSS BLU-806DA signal processors with BLU Link. BSS ACE Cards ensure optimum sound performance by cancelling acoustic echoes, while BLU-BIB input expanders offer added flexibility.
“We were pleased to partner with Ba Sao and Harman for the installation of a highly capable and robust audio system for the airport,” said a spokesperson for Van Don International Airport. “With the new system, we will raise the bar in providing an unmatched world-class audio experience to our passengers.”
“Transportation facilities are a challenging environment to deploy quality audio, and Van Don International Airport required an intelligible system for the facility,” said Ramesh Jayaraman, VP & GM Harman Professional Solutions, APAC. "We would like to thank our partner Ba Sao Invest for ensuring the challenges were met and the project was completed within the given parameters.”
