Klotz Digital to Equip Parliament Building with Varizone
Klotz Digital has recently been awarded a contract from North Rhine Westphalia’s Parliament to replace the existing public address system with a Varizone announcement and evacuation installation in its facility in Duesseldorf. Amongst others the building consists of eight levels including a circular plenar hall, separated parliamentary party and administration areas, two basement garages and a variety of assembly rooms and offices, housing round about 500 employees and 182 members of the parliament.
Klotz Digital’s PA system will link 1700 loudspeakers spread on all levels of the building. The bigger areas like casino, entrance hall and car parking will be provided with a traditional 100V PA system while Varizone will primarily be used for feeding the offices. A Vadis 880 main frame will control audio routing and signal processing throughout the facility. Furthermore 6 amplifier and line monitoring units, 170 PAMs, 58 power bridges and five paging stations will be installed. The system will also include 48 analogue output channels for 100V lines. The installation is intended to be put into operation in summer 2006.
Prior to Varizone the building was linked via a traditional 100V system, defining the cabling structure of the building. As Varizone is able to adopt the existing cabling structure it fits exactly to the requirements of the parliament. Furthermore, every single office of the members of the parliament has to be accessible for personal announcements. Keeping in mind that the office situation continually changes due to the partition of the political parties the system has to be as flexible as possible. While transmitting eight different audio channels on one cable Varizone is the only solution to realize this public address, evacuation and announcement system without the necessity of additional and extensive wiring.
