AV integrator Mahajak Development has recently deployed a wide range of Harman Professional Solutions’ audio and lighting systems in four of the Grande Centre Point Hotel’s facilities to create immersive audio visual experiences.
Located in the heart of North Pattaya, the Grande Centre Point Hotel is a 32-story luxury hotel and resort. Grande Centre Point also offers a variety of amenities and activities, including the famous Terminal 21 shopping mall, the Sky 32 rooftop lounge, an amphitheatre for events and a family waterpark. The hotel also includes the Port Ballroom and its seven adjoining meeting rooms, which are used for formal meetings, conferences, private dinner parties and exquisite banquets.
To elevate the entertainment experience, Grande Centre Point hired integrator Mahajak Development to design and install state-of-the-art audio and lighting solutions in the Port Ballroom, the water park and the Sky 32 Lounge, as well as a mobile AV solution for events. Mahajak selected a wide range of solutions from JBL, Crown, Soundcraft, BSS and Martin.
Pongsakorn Kanchanachayphoom, director of project at Mahajak Development, said: “The client required various audiovisual and lighting solutions for four of the hotel’s facilities. They required a versatile audio solution for the meeting room, which consists of seven rooms that can either be combined or separated for events. The family water park required a PA system to make announcements, play background music and more. They required mobile audio, visual and lighting setup for activities such as seminars, concerts and events. Finally, they needed an audio system for the Sky Lounge on the 32nd floor. We decided that JBL audio solutions and Martin lighting systems would be best suited for this multi-faceted project.”
In the Port Ballroom and adjoined meeting rooms, Mahajak deployed JBL Control 14C/T in-ceiling loudspeakers to deliver clear sound for meetings and events. To power the system, Mahajak selected Crown CDi 2|300 amplifiers. A Soundcraft Si Impact digital mixing console delivers sound quality and provides staff with control over the system.
Mahajak equipped the water park with a Harman Professional Solutions networked audio system to enable staff to make announcements and play music throughout the facilities. Compact JBL Control 25-1 indoor/outdoor loudspeakers mounted throughout the park deliver sound with consistent coverage. MTC-25WMG-1 WeatherMax grilles provide the Control 25-1 speakers with protection against the environmental damage and extend their service life. The system is powered by Crown CDi 2|300 amplifiers and routed through a BSS BLU100 Signal Processor via BLU link. To enable sound for announcements, Mahajak installed a JBL CSPM-1 microphone system.
Mahajak deployed JBL Control 29AV-1 indoor/outdoor loudspeakers in the Sky 32 Lounge for background music.
To provide staff with an easy-to-use mobile production setup for concerts and events, Mahajak deployed a Harman Professional Solutions audio and lighting rig, including solutions from JBL, Soundcraft and Martin. JBL EON615 and EON612 two-way powered loudspeakers deliver sound. For low-frequency reinforcement, Mahajak included the lightweight JBL EON618S portable subwoofer. The system is controlled with a Soundcraft Si impact digital mixing console.
To create immersive lighting displays, Mahajak equipped the mobile production rig with Martin Rush MH 2 Wash fixtures. The lighting system is routed through a Martin DMX 5.3 Splitter and controlled using the Martin M-Touch stage lighting control system.
A spokesperson from Grande Centre Point said: “We required versatile audiovisual and lighting solutions for some of our facilities and attractions. In addition to the high-quality performance of the systems, reliability was of utmost importance for us. We are delighted with the solutions provided by Mahajak Development. The sound and lighting solutions have matched up to our expectations.”
