M&S selects PEL for Westfield site

The music and PA system serves the 103,000 sq ft of floor space at the store. PEL chose a Bose Professional System featuring over 300 Bose Model 16 ceiling speakers to play music throughout the store and broadcast messages when required. As a multi-zone system, different music and messages can be played in different areas.

In addition to the sound system, PEL also supplied and installed a refuge call system at the store. A specialised intercom designed for building compliance with British Standards and the Disability Discrimination Act, the refuge call system consists of a modular control panel connected by an independent link to remote hands-free units in each public stair well. The system allows a disabled person to alert the central station to their predicament, enabling appropriate action to be taken.
