Harman provides luxurious AV experience in Bangkok
- Details
In order to provide audio coverage and networked AV for a wide range of specialized areas and environments, hotel owner Minor International hired Mahajak Development to install a Harman AV audio solution comprising JBL Professional speakers, Crown amplifiers, BSS signal processors, Soundcraft audio mixers and AMX networked AV systems.
“We asked Mahajak Development to provide us with robust AV solutions to accommodate a spectrum of events and functions,” said Pakpoom Worakamolkul, senior engineering manager, Minor International. “Thanks to the variety of speaker types and sizes in the JBL Control Series line, Mahajak was able to customise the solution in each different environment to deliver maximum coverage and intelligibility. The colours and grills of the speakers blend in with their surroundings perfectly. Furthermore, the Harman AV systems in our grand ballroom and meeting spaces are very flexible and easily optimized for different types of events.”
The AV system allows the AVANI Riverside Bangkok staff to produce weddings, business conferences, private parties and more. In the grand ballroom, JBL Control Series speakers are complemented by JBL EON Series powered speakers and JBL STX818S subwoofers for enhanced volume and bass response. The entire system is powered by Crown CTs Series, XLi Series and XTi 2 Series amplifiers.
Soundcraft MFXi audio mixers enable staff and guest DJs to quickly craft professional mixes. BSS Soundweb London devices offer advanced routing and signal processing, while BSS BLU control panels make it easy for non-technical staff members to adjust the sophisticated AV system. AMX IS-SPX-1300 players are used to programme digital signage panels located outside each event space, which indicate the current booking.
Finally, an AMX ENOVA digital media switcher forms the “backbone” of the networked AV systems in the banquet spaces, enabling seamless audio playback and signal switching.
“AVANI Riverside Bangkok is very happy with the networked Harman AV system we installed,” said Pongsakorn Kanchanachayphoom, project director, Mahajak Development. “It was a challenge to design a large-scale system that fulfilled all of the technical requirements. Thanks to Harman’s inventory of professional solutions, we were able to provide the hotel with the AV system of their dreams.”
