Optimus installs its public address and voice alarm systems in Torre Outlet Zaragoza

The series of public address and voice alarm Optimus Compact has been implemented in the first outlet area of Zaragoza.

Optimus has responded to the public address and voice alarm requirements set by the shopping center Torre Outlet Zaragoza with a system Compact decentralized.

Torre Outlet Zaragoza is a shopping center located in the former facilities of the Pikolín factory. The complex pays homage to mid-20th century industrial architecture, with commercial premises whose front facades emulate different aesthetics and industrial-style typologies, as a reminiscence of the old factories on which they are built, y con pasillos al aire libre que invitan a los visitantes a vivir una experiencia diferente a la habitual en este tipo de instalaciones.

Junto a esta zona comercial se sitúan seis edificios que albergan 8 salas de cine y locales de restauración, with a total of 13.500 metros cuadrados destinados a moda y deportes, 9.500 m² para el ocio y 5.500 m² para restauración.

El sistema de megafonía y alarma por voz se ha resuelto con un sistema Optoma Compact descentralizado, con matrices de audio en cada edificio, 15.000 W de potencia instalada y control desde servidores de megafonía (computers) y consolas microfónicas DC-700ETH, y un total de 30 salidas independientes de audio subdivididas en 126 zonas de altavoces.

The most of 300 puntos sonoros son de varios tipos, de techo para pasillos y zonas comunes, loudspeakers for the largest spaces and broadband acoustic projectors for outdoor areas. Both the control system and the speakers are EN certified 54.

This is an example of how the public address requirements of a shopping center have been met. It simultaneously addresses two requirements: safety and voice alarm, common to other venues with large crowds; and entertainment, since it is responsible for distributing music throughout the large lobbies and corridors, sometimes with high-power loudspeakers and wide frequency response.

Normally, each store in the shopping center has its own autonomous music distribution system, linked to the general public address system, which must also cover other areas, like exteriors, parking lots, offices, loading and unloading of goods… managing the sending of messages to one, several or all areas.

Intercommunication systems meet the control and information needs of customer service points, entrances and exits to the premises, barriers, cashiers…
