Case Study: Outdoor Public Address System for the Bełchatów City Bugle Call

2026-05-04

A new symbolic tradition has been established in the very heart of Bełchatów. Every day at 5:37 PM (17:37) - a time referencing the year the city was granted town privileges - the official Bełchatów city bugle call is played in the area of Narutowicza Square. Since the end of April 2026, this musical signal has been broadcast daily, becoming a permanent and publicly accessible element of the city’s identity.

According to information published by Radio Łódź and the Bełchatów City Office, the bugle call, although composed back in 1997, had previously been performed only on special occasions during major municipal ceremonies. Today, it has become a daily sound mark in the city centre, emphasizing Bełchatów’s history and continuity of tradition.

Urban Public Address Sound System

Our company had the pleasure of delivering and installing an outdoor public address sound system designed for reliable daily playback of the city bugle call in Bełchatów’s public space.
The project was implemented with a focus on:

even sound coverage of an open urban area,
high intelligibility and clarity of the musical signal,
resistance to weather conditions,
stable and fully automated daily operation.

The applied solutions enable precise control of sound emission and ensure consistent playback quality, which is essential for cyclically operating municipal PA systems.

The installation is based on proven solutions dedicated to professional public address applications:

DSPPA DSP1230 outdoor horn loudspeaker - 3 units
