Mahajak and Atkrist collaborated with Harman Professional Solutions to select and install a range of audio and control solutions at The Standard, Bangkok Mahanakhon hotel.
Located in King Power Mahanakhon, The Standard’s flagship hotel officially opened on 14 December 2022 and was awarded the AHEAD Award for best “Hotel New Build” in Asia. To provide an immersive hospitality experience for guests and visitors, The Standard sought a robust background music system for its public areas, restaurants, terraces, and meeting rooms. To meet the end user’s request, Mahajak and Atkrist deployed a range of solutions from JBL Professional, Crown and BSS.
As there were a range of rooms, the installation team broke up each floor into multiple zones to assess the unique audio requirements of each space and identify the right equipment to install.
For the lobby, reception and restaurant areas, the team deployed JBL Control 14C/T, 16C/T and 328CT coaxial ceiling speakers.
The outdoor terraces, on the other hand, have JBL AWC82 coaxial speakers and JBL Control 85M mushroom-style landscape speakers.
On the backend, Harman’s software HiQnet Audio Architect was configured throughout the hotel’s audio systems. Crown DCi4|300N, DCi4|1250N and DCi8|600N amplifiers were installed and BSS EC-V and EC-4BV wall-mounted ethernet controllers were utilised.
A spokesperson for The Standard said that Harman Professional Solutions exceeded their expectations, both in the quality of sound but also how well the selected solutions blended with the hotel’s surroundings so naturally.
Amar Subash, VP & GM of Harman Professional Solutions of APAC, commented: “This project is an exemplar of Harman Professional Solutions’ capability to deliver full-range solutions for hospitality establishments no matter how unique or challenging the project may be. I would also like to express my gratitude to our talented partners Mahajak and Atkrist for this opportunity to collaborate.”
