Heathrow Airport's Dining Establishment Undergoes Audio System Upgrade with Wharfedale Pro Equipment.
In a significant move towards enhancing audio solutions, Middlesex Sound & Lighting, a renowned AV company based in Uxbridge, has announced its intention to use Wharfedale Pro products more frequently in future projects. This decision was made after a successful collaboration on the audio setup at Jones the Grocer, a popular gourmet food destination located in Heathrow Airport's Terminal 2.
The heart of the sound solution at Jones the Grocer is Wharfedale Pro's DP-4035F amplifier, a lightweight DSP amplifier with four discrete amplification channels. This powerful device powers the entire audio setup, which is split into three zones to ensure optimal sound distribution.
Toby Jones, the AV designer at Middlesex Sound & Lighting, praised the affordability and premium quality of Wharfedale Pro's products, marking this as the first time the company has used products from the brand.
The DP-4035F amplifier offers several key features that make it ideal for large commercial audio installations, such as those in airport environments. It boasts a 4-channel digital amplifier setup, delivering up to 4 × 1010W RMS at 2Ω per channel. Integrated digital signal processing (DSP) and finite impulse response (FIR) filtering enable precise control over audio signals, while its digital architecture reduces noise and distortion, improving clarity and reliability.
The versatility of the DP-4035F amplifier allows for easy integration into various zones or for use with different speaker types within a single system. This was particularly beneficial for the Jones the Grocer project, as the system is mainly responsible for background music.
The DP-4035F amplifier was simple to set up, according to Jones, and the supplied editing software provides a detailed overview of the entire system and DSP features. The system was designed for reliability and low maintenance, ensuring continuous operation in busy environments such as airport terminals.
The client at Jones the Grocer was pleased with the final result, noting the excellent sonic quality delivered by Wharfedale Pro's DP-4035F amplifier. Jones the Grocer, a global dining destination with over 30 locations worldwide, including the UAE and India, continues to serve gourmet food from around the world in an environment enhanced by high-quality audio solutions.
This collaboration marks a significant step for both Middlesex Sound & Lighting and Wharfedale Pro, demonstrating the potential for future collaborations and the value of Wharfedale Pro's products in large-scale commercial audio installations.
- Toby Jones, the AV designer at Middlesex Sound & Lighting, plans to incorporate more Wharfedale Pro products in future projects, appreciating their premium quality and affordability, especially with regards to the DP-4035F amplifier for its impressive features that cater excellently to large commercial audio installations, such as those in airport environments.
- The success of the audio setup at Jones the Grocer, which features Wharfedale Pro's DP-4035F amplifier, has led Middlesex Sound & Lighting to embrace gadgets like these that embody technological ingenuity and offer outstanding performance, making them ideal for enhancing sound solutions across a variety of spaces, including businesses and leisure destinations.
