Hotel Indigo Phuket Patong hired audio integrators Mahajak Development to design and install a Harman Professional audio solution. Mahajak selected a system comprising JBL Professional loudspeakers, Crown amplification, BSS signal processing and more.
Pongsakorn Kanchanachayphoom, director of project, Mahajak Development, said: “One of the challenges we faced was that the hotel had multiple zones with specific requirements, including meeting spaces, lobbies, seminar and banquet rooms, among others. We put our dedicated efforts to install Harman Professional products and provide the best service to the customer. The client wanted the latest hi-tech audio solutions, and we were able to design the ideal systems using Harman products thanks to their flexibility, reliability and impeccable sound quality. To ensure consistent sound throughout the facilities, we installed JBL speakers with Crown amplifiers.”
For the system that covers the hotel’s lobby, canteen, all-day dining area and fitness centre, Mahajak installed JBL Control 14C/T and 8124 ceiling loudspeakers as well as Control 25-1 compact speakers. These are powered by JBL CSA 2120Z commercial series amplifiers and the system also includes BSS BLU-100 and BLU-50 signal processors with BLU Link. The signal processors and BSS BLU-3 wall-mount controllers allow each area to play music and adjust volume independently. Plus, in case of an emergency, the audio system is synchronised with the hotel’s fire alarm system.
Similarly to the previous zone, Mahajak equipped the bar, rooftop and pool areas with Control 14C/T, 8214 and Control 25-1 speakers. The system also features JBL Control 23-1 ultra-compact, two-way speakers, Control 29AV-1 monitor speakers and Control SB2210 compact subwoofers. BSS BLU-100 and BLU-50 signal processors help maintain audio performance, while BLU-3 wall-mount controllers provide added versatility. In addition to Crown XLi 3500 amplifiers, Mahajak used JBL CSA 1120Z and CSA 2120Z amps to power the system.
The sound system that covers the hotel’s meeting areas aims to provude intelligibility as well as flexible configuration options. Depending on the size of the conference, seminar or banquet, the system is designed to allow the two meeting rooms to operate separately with independent audio control, or be combined to form one large space. Mahajak installed JBL Control 16 C/T and Control 8124 ceiling loudspeakers as well as Soundcraft Signature 10 mixers. The system is configured and controlled through BSS BLU-100 signal processors and driven by Crown XLS 1502 power amplifiers.
A spokesperson from Hotel Indigo Phuket Patong said: “We were confident that the Mahajak team will provide and install world-class and high-quality products. The system complements our designs very well. We wanted to create an immersive audio experience for our guests, and Harman Professional Solutions has helped us achieve that objective.”
