TUNISIA: The Radisson BLU Hotel on the island resort of Djerba has upgraded its audio system with a range of products from Harman. The system was designed by local distributor MediaCom SA and installed by DAT.
The new system includes components from JBL, Crown and BSS Audio which have gone into new bars, restaurants, conference rooms and a spa. For sound reinforcement MediaCom SA chose JBL Control 24CT loudspeakers, the Control 19CS 8-inch ceiling bass driver, as well as Control 25AV surface-mount speakers. Four of the conference rooms were equipped with the JBL Control 200 series, Control 226C’s, with integrated back can, were featured in the hotel’s conference room. Control 227C’s were deployed in the remaining rooms. The lobby, spa, and pool areas also feature the Control 226C’s.
The JBL speakers were assigned to a combination of six Crown CTs 8200A and two Crown CTs 4200A amplifiers. This system was networked with Harman HiQnet System Architect, which allowed the amplifiers to deliver monitoring and control functionality along with digital audio transport. Additionally, all signal processing in the new areas of the hotel is handled by BSS Audio Soundweb London devices.
‘This audio solution provides great ease of use for the technical staff, the hotel’s technical engineer can receive full system feedback and diagnostics on the networked audio system from his computer,’ stated MediaCom chairman Ridha Ourzli. ‘The client is delighted, and extremely satisfied with the solution we have provided.’
