Audiopost

Audiopost is our extremely robust outdoor listening station designed for heritage sites and places of special interest.  Audioposts are an ideal solution for playing oral history extracts, sound effects, bird and animal calls, narrations, stories or poems in single or multiple languages. Audioposts are manufactured from marine grade stainless steel and therefore can be installed anywhere outdoors. They are tough enough for the extreme conditions on coastal pathways.

Each Audiopost is custom designed with the faceplate accommodating up to six vandal resistant buttons, labeled with a short line of text. Clients logos, graphics and text are engraved on the front panel using an extremely robust engraving process. The engraving is completely permanent and will not fade, chip or wear over time.

Audioposts can be play messages in up to eight different languages using a single button to scroll through the various language options.

Contact us for more information on how Audioposts can be used to interpret your site.

 

 

Technical

An Audiopost can be powered by a rechargable battery or remote power supply.

We use high quality solid state audio players in our Audioposts. Each audio track is edited and processed for maximum clarity and quality of sound.

Audioposts are usually fixed to a concrete pad in the ground although other solid surfaces can be used. Site surveys are carried out to ensure the Audiopost can be securely fixed and any archeology or planning regulations are adhered to.

  • Marine grade stainless steel construction
  • No moving parts for maximum reliability
  • Solid state vandal resistant buttons
  • Battery or mains powered - 12 volt
  • Up to 8 different languages can be played
  • Recordings stored on compact flash memory card
  • Extremely robust engraving - completely permanent
  • High quality audio

 

Although Audioposts have been designed to survive the elements outdoors. We have installed them on vineyards, harbours, world heritage sites, roman towns and nature reserves.

Some of the uses the Audiopost would be used for include:

  • Heritage trails
  • Nature walks - explaining the bird calls and seasonal changes within a park or reserve
  • Multiple Audioposts can be used to interpret different features on large outdoor sites. The visitor can be guided from one audiopost to the next, learning about each feature as they go.
  • Information points in city centres
