​It’s been over two years since the launch of our most robust handset, the HDH (Heavy Duty Handset) – in that short time, even with a global pandemic, we’ve seen the HDH installed in thousands of locations around the world. To celebrate we thought we’d share some of our favourite HDH case studies with you.

The Hold, Suffolk Archives – Ipswich

Bletchley Park – Milton Keynes

Heavy Duty Handsets with Branding Label situated in Bletchley Park

Bletchley Park is a well known and much loved historical site in the UK thanks to its storied history as the centre of Allied code-breaking during WW2. Here a number of AutoPlay audio points featuring the Heavy Duty Handset and SoundClip-2 were installed. The unit is slightly unique as we altered the armoured cable length to suit the space available.
