Nike Distribution Centre, Laakdal, Belgium

PVS recently supplied an extensive selection of equipment from manufacturers including Inter-m, Audac, Uniton and BSS Audio for installation at Nike's distribution centre in Laakdal, Belgium. The equipment was selected to satisfy the venue's background music, paging and evacuation messaging requirements.

Background music, paging and evacuation are very important in a distribution centre of this size. The centre has been provided with a music distribution system that is divided into different zones, with each zone also having its own local paging system.

Specific equipment includes Audac loudspeakers (HS120, HS212, HS208, CS65, WX302) and digital paging units (APM04, APM01), Inter-m power amplifiers and a BSS Audio Soundweb 9088 networked signal processor.

Additionally, a Uniton digital message module has been provided to enable evacuation in the event of an emergency. The fire alarm will send a signal to the module in case of fire. The module will send a message to the appropriate zone, and only this zone will be evacuated.

The new equipment is housed in a 19in rack from Caymon. Wiring for the project was manufactured by Procab.
