To convert the audio into five separate zones, Runtech had to run new cables across 3 floors of the hotel which required overnight installation and careful co-ordinating works. An additional Dante Bluetooth and 3.5mm audio input plate was installed for increased functionality. Additionally, as events will be held in the restaurant, a Dante Wireless microphone receiver and two Sennheiser handheld microphones were connected. For easy control of the audio, a Q-SYS touchscreen controller was installed.

Within the treatment rooms, a Q-SYS ceiling-mounted loudspeaker was installed within the centre of the room. For audio control, each room included a volume controller. For futureproofing, a CAT6 cable was also run through the relevant areas. Lastly, a Dante Bluetooth and 3.5mm audio input plate was installed along with the same Q-SYS touch screen controlled in the wellness reception.

As our client is open to the public throughout the day and evening, to keep disruption to a minimum, work was performed outside of normal hours.

The audio upgrade has enabled more flexibility with enhanced background music choices for each area within the restaurant and wellness centre. As a result, this will improve the guest’s experience when visiting our client.
