CUSTOMISE YOUR DESIGN
Capture your visitors at first glance!
The design of your unit is as important as the audio it plays - it should visually appeal to the target demographic while sitting harmoniously within the surrounding environment.
Our interpretive design team craft eye-catching designs that compliment the featured audio. We provide copywriting, illustrations, graphics and colour advice so that visitors get the most out of your U-Turn Audio.

INSTALLATION OPTIONS
Choose your installation
We provide a range of installation options so that visitors get the most fulfilling experience from the U-Turn Audio unit. Depending on the nature of the project, we design and manufacture the unit to fit on a post, in a panel or something more bespoke.
The U-Turn Audio is supplied fixed to a painted post with the option of either a base plate fitted or extended section for installation into a concrete footing.
The U-Turn Audio unit is incorporated into a sign panel, allowing for the display of more information, images and graphics to accompany the audio content.
Custom-mounted
We can accommodate more bespoke installations, including mounting into structures and surfaces to provide a more unique experience.
What audio can I play?
With playback of eight audio tracks, the U-Turn Audio unit is an invaluable addition to public spaces, be it a nature walk, heritage trail or local playground. With endless possibilities, here's a few of the most popular applications for the U-Turn Audio.
Nature's Sounds
One of the most popular ways to use the U-Turn Audio unit is for showcasing local animal species found in the surrounding area. It's commonly used as a 'Bird Wheel' or 'Frog Wheel', which is great way of educating visitors of all ages about important local species.
Acknowledgement of Country
& Indigenous Language
The U-Turn Audio unit provides a powerful medium for conveying the cultural significance of a site and information about its First Nations and Indigenous owners. Visitors can learn through language translations, explanations and stories in order to better understand the significance of site and their connection to country.
Storytelling & oral histories
Nothing connects visitors to place better than an entertaining story - be it a tall tale about a local legend or a recollection of an historic event. With up to 16 minutes of audio content, the U-Turn Audio unit can entertain and inform a visitor in ways that static signage cannot.
