King Square Shopping Centre
Integrated Audio for a Multi-Zone RetailEnvironment
Location: Markham, Ontario
Sector: Retail & Shopping Centres
Services: Public Address · Background Music · Multi-Zone Audio Control
Project Overview
King Square Shopping Centre brings together retail, dining and shared public spaces, each with different audio requirements. Avvantage designed and installed an integrated sound system to support background music and public announcements throughout the property.
The solution combines distributed loudspeakers, centralized processing and independent zone controls, giving the operations team a practical way to manage audio across the shopping centre.
The Challenge
A multi-level retail property requires more than uniform speaker coverage. Busy dining areas, retail corridors, parking facilities and outdoor spaces each present different acoustic conditions and operating needs.
The project called for consistent sound coverage, clear announcements and flexible zone control, while balancing equipment performance with the project budget.
Our Solution
Avvantage implemented a 70V distributed audio system built around TOA matrix processing and multi-channel amplification. Loudspeakers were distributed across the property, with dedicated controls allowing staff to adjust audio levels for individual zones.
Indoor ceiling speakers provide coverage throughout the retail and common areas, while Klipsch all-weather speakers serve the outdoor spaces. A centralized equipment rack brings the system together for day-to-day operation and maintenance.
System Highlights
• Multi-zone coverage across three retail levels, dining areas, garage and lobby spaces, and outdoor areas.
• TOA ceiling loudspeakers for distributed indoor audio.
• Klipsch all-weather loudspeakers for outdoor coverage.
• TOA M-9000M2 matrix processing and DA-500F-HL amplification.
• Remote paging and four zone-control panels for accessible staff operation.
The Result
The completed system provides a coordinated platform for background music and targeted announcements throughout King Square Shopping Centre.
Independent zone control allows staff to adapt audio levels to different spaces and activities, supporting a welcoming visitor experience and the practical needs of daily operations.
