Zoned Sound System for Healthcare Facilities

A modern zoned sound system for healthcare facilities enables efficient communication and audio management across different areas such as hospitals, clinics, medical centers, and outpatient facilities. The solution is based on the Intusonic HMA74 audio matrix, allowing independent control of four zones, ensuring voice announcements, informational signals, and background music playback.

The system is built around an audio matrix that enables flexible routing of audio sources to selected zones such as reception areas, waiting rooms, corridors, departments, and administrative offices.

Voice Announcements and Zone Management

The system supports voice announcements for both operational and informational purposes using the Intusonic HPA41 zone paging microphone. This enables efficient communication with staff and patients, with the ability to address one or multiple zones depending on current needs.

Background Music and Patient Comfort

Patient comfort is a key factor in healthcare environments. The system allows playback of gentle background music in waiting areas and common spaces, helping to create a calm atmosphere and reduce stress.

The Waves System AP420 network player enables scheduled playback of music and announcements, allowing automated system operation without constant manual control.

The device also supports internet radio and locally stored playlists, providing flexibility in audio content selection.

In selected zones, the system can be expanded with the Bluesound Professional B100S streamer, enabling playback from streaming services, for example in relaxation areas or modern treatment environments.

Integration of Microphones and External Sources

The system can be expanded with the Intusonic HZE11x wall panel featuring a line input and volume control, allowing connection of additional audio sources. This enables quick use of wireless microphones - for example the Relacart UR-290D MH/T system.

This solution is particularly useful in training rooms, conference spaces, and staff meetings, allowing local use of the audio system without affecting the overall installation.

Speakers for Different Healthcare Areas

The system can be adapted to various areas by selecting appropriate loudspeakers.

Waiting Areas and Common Spaces

• FAMA 8 - ceiling speakers providing discreet and even sound coverage

Corridors and Circulation Areas

• Intusonic 4FP40R - wall-mounted speakers ensuring clear speech intelligibility

Administrative Offices

• DSPPA DSP5011 - low-power ceiling speakers suitable for offices and staff areas

Outdoor Areas

• DSPPA DSP6050 - weather-resistant speakers designed for entrances and surrounding outdoor areas

Key Benefits for Healthcare Facilities

• Clear and efficient communication with staff and patients
• Independent control of multiple audio zones
• Improved patient comfort through background music
• Automated scheduling of announcements and audio content
• Flexible integration of additional audio sources
• Scalable solution adaptable to different types of facilities

The proposed solution delivers a modern, flexible, and easy-to-manage sound system that supports daily operations in healthcare facilities while enhancing patient and staff comfort.
