I was collaborating with audio engineer a few years ago who has been setting up
quite elaborate arrays of speakers arranged to direct sound in particular
directions, they have done fit-outs in the local state parliament chamber, and
actually achieved nice clear announcements confined to the appropriate platform
in a train station with 25 platforms. A nice system, from reasonably priced
components.
