Sound Systems
In healthcare facilities, audio is far more than a comfort feature: it is an essential tool for daily operations, patient safety and team coordination.
A professional sound system must ensure clear, continuous distribution, aligned with the critical requirements of hospital environments: alerts, announcements, internal paging, priority messages and multi-zone audio.
Hospitals and clinics require reliable audio solutions that are fully integrated and available at all times, to ensure smooth communication—even in emergency situations.
Complex environments that require advanced audio expertise
Healthcare infrastructures include a wide variety of spaces—operating theatres, waiting areas, care units, sensitive zones, corridors, patient rooms and administrative areas.
Each comes with specific acoustic, hygiene and safety constraints.
A successful audio installation in the medical sector must:
- ensure perfect speech intelligibility, even in highly reverberant areas,
- provide 24/7 service continuity,
- manage announcement priorities for urgent calls,
- meet safety standards, including fire regulations,
- operate in coordination with building and hospital systems (BMS, intercom, nurse call).
Hi Technologies supports healthcare facilities in the design, integration and maintenance of audio systems built to last, enhance safety and improve day-to-day operations for caregivers and patients.
We design audio systems that truly support medical teams, ensuring reliable communication at every moment—even in critical situations.
Sound System Solutions for Healthcare Facilities
Medical environments require audio solutions that can manage different announcement priorities, remain operational even in the event of a technical failure and deliver perfect intelligibility across all care areas.
Our dedicated audio solutions for healthcare facilities:
- EN54-certified voice alarm systems to integrate safety and evacuation messaging.
- Multi-zone distribution to separate sensitive areas (ICU, maternity, operating theatres) from public areas (reception, lobbies, waiting rooms).
- Advanced signal processing (DSP) to ensure clear sound in reverberant or noisy spaces.
- Hygienic, durable loudspeakers for sterile environments or areas subject to strict protocols.
- Integration with nurse call systems and internal alerting to ensure seamless coordination.
Our systems ensure critical messages reach the right teams instantly, without ever compromising safety or confidentiality.
Fast, prioritised internal communications that are always intelligible
In healthcare facilities, some messages must bypass general distribution to reach the right teams immediately.
Modern audio systems make it possible to manage:
- code calls (medical emergencies),
- critical announcements in care areas,
- safety messages,
- internal communication between departments,
- absolute priority messaging for hospital staff.
Key features:
- Priority management to ensure vital calls are handled first.
- Full interoperability with hospital systems (nurse call, BMS, security).
- Targeted paging in a specific zone without disturbing patients in other areas.
- Continuous monitoring to guarantee permanent operation.
We improve the patient experience by creating a calm, reassuring and perfectly controlled sound environment.
Sound Systems for Public Areas, Patient Comfort and Wellbeing
A calming, consistent and well-controlled sound environment
Beyond technical and safety requirements, sound systems also play a key role in patient experience and comfort:
- soft sound ambience in waiting areas,
- audio guidance along patient journeys,
- information and call announcements in public spaces,
- clear yet non-intrusive announcements in corridors and circulation areas.
Suitable solutions:
- Design loudspeakers for lobbies and receptions,
- controlled background music distribution,
- automatic adjustments based on time of day or attendance,
- guidance tones for complex routes or accessibility needs.
