Central Vietnam resort installs JBL systems
- Details
Hoiana is the first beachfront integrated resort in Central Vietnam. The resort consists of entertainment and gaming facilities, an 18-hole golf course; and hotel facilities.
"The client wanted the latest hi-tech audio-visual, background music, lighting solutions and LED video walls to enliven its gaming and entertainment venues. One of the challenges that we faced was that we began the project with 50 percent of architectural drawings, while the rest of the design was put in place as the establishment was being built," said David Chua, general director, VISCO Joint Stock. "We used HiQnet Audio Architect Software for programming and configuring all of Harman’s audio systems. Integrating a multitude of the AV and lighting equipment made this project an exciting challenge."
The BGM system in the casino and food & beverage areas consists primarily of JBL Control Series speakers. To remove resonances and deliver lower bass response, the Control 300 Series speakers were fitted with JBL MTC-300BB8 Backcans and JBL MTC-300BB12 Backboxes. JBL MTC-300RG8 and MTC-300SG12 scratch-resistant square grilles were added to the speakers.
Mot Hai Bar, the stage bar setup at Hoiana Suncity features JBL AM5215/64 2-Way, full-range loudspeakers, which are weather-resistant and feature a Progressive Transition Waveguide for excellent pattern control. The JBL ASB7118 ultra-long excursion hi-power single subwoofer offers powerful bass with low-distortion, while JBL AC18/95 passive compact speakers were integrated for their ease of mounting and high-fidelity output. Also included were JBL Control 26CT two-way coaxial ceiling loudspeakers, a JBL CSMA2120 mixing console, an AKG PZM11 boundary microphone, as well as Crown CDi 4|600 power amplifiers.
"The project at Hoiana Suncity was special for two reasons. One is the sheer scale of the establishment, and the second being the unprecedented challenges posed by Covid-19," said Ramesh Jayaraman, VP & GM, Harman Professional Solutions, APAC.
