Warehouse audio system
GXO is a multi-national world leader in leading logistics services. This warehouse music music project site is located in Ivatt Way, Peterborough. GXO is a large site is formed of interconnecting warehouse ‘sheds’ essentially creating a very large central building with various goods loading, packing, storage and offices.
The site (known locally as Peterborough 01 as there are multiple GXO sites in Peterborough) provides strategic logistics services for two primary GXO clients (Mountain Warehouse and Marks & Spencer / M&S). This audio installation project focused on providing audio announcements, lockdown and background music (BGM) to the Mountain Warehouse section of the site – with the M&S planned to follow at a later date.
Our Audio Design
Our warehouse music system and wider audio communications design solution utilised both traditional and IP audio technology to deliver user and management flexibility via a multi-zone system. Connected to the GXO Local Audio Network (LAN), the rack-mount audio system equipment was installed with a central 8 x zone audio DSP processor / matrix. This unit was configured with the various inputs, outputs as well as the zonal, DSP, priorities and audio routing details. LAN and local extension to a dedicated WiFi network, simple user control for music/radio, scheduling and volume control was provided via a mobile app (android and iOS devices – PC’s, tablets and phones).
