Southend airport was the third busiest Airport in the UK between the 60’s and 70’s, initially a base for fighter squadrons during World War II, Southend Airport has now developed into a modern airport operating approximately 70 flights per week. The new look Southend Airport required an expandable PA/VA system which allows flexible simultaneous messaging to different zones within the airport. TOA initially installed the VX-2000 system but since the new renovations, the system has been upgraded to the SX-2000 connected to TOA’s own network protocol. TOA’s SR-H2L Line array speakers are used throughout the airport ensuring that the sound quality is focused and direct - making sure that all messages are heard loud and clear.
