Airport Gate Area (Small airport facility)In an airport gate area, the sound system is often a stand-alone system that has feeds from the concourse system as
well as the airport-wide system. In the gate area, several levels of priority exist. Mainly, emergency and critical
announcements take priority, followed by local gate activity and concourse pages. This system is typically duplicated
at each gate in the concourse. In this example, we show how this works easily with the Automix 4.
System Features:
The Automix 4 provides audio for the gate’s adjacent concourse area as well as the seating area for the gate.
All concourse and airport wide signals feed this zone.
The Gate Podium and the Airport E-Page have priority over the Ramp and Concourse page.
Only the Gate page signals (Podium and Ramp) are fed to the gate area via the INS outputs. These signals still have automat-
ic mixing enabled, so if both mics are on at the same time, feedback and gain concerns are eliminated.
This configuration is simple and reliable. By duplicating this at each gate, and distributing the concourse and airport wide
signals across all gates, a very powerful and cost effective airport paging system can be implemented.
