Palmeral Resort creates differential experiences in its events with Yamaha audio technology

In a unique environment in the province of Toledo, Palmeral Resort is an ideal place to celebrate weddings and other family events, where a zoned Yamaha audio system ensures guests enjoy the perfect soundtrack.

Located in Talavera de la Reina, in the province of Toledo, a 140 Km southwest of Madrid, Palmeral Resort It is a space surrounded by gardens, palm trees, fountains and a lake, an ideal environment to celebrate all types of events, with a surface of 81 hectares.

With a terrace chill-out, party tents, outdoor lounge, pool, nightclub, children's area and indoor facilities including a main hall, a large restaurant, an attractive bridal suite, reception areas, and with the attentive service of its staff it makes guests enjoy an unforgettable experience.

The management of the complex needed to deploy quality sound in all areas, but with the versatility to manage each area, both independently and in a group, depending on the needs of each event.

Esteban Robledo, owner of Palmeral Resort and young entrepreneur knew that the solution was a network-based system. “In a resort that covers such a large area and with so many different areas, the use of analog technology would have been, obviously, a mistake. “Digital audio networks gave us the opportunity to centralize control and the possibility of managing the entire system by a single person.”.

Other advantages of opting for a network audio system is that “it also reduces the complexity of the installation and represents considerable financial savings.”, Not to mention the possibility of expanding the facility with the same design philosophy.”, Robledo emphasizes.

With the variety of areas that had to be covered and the distances between them, the specialist in Telsokit, based in Talavera de la Reina, chose a solution Yamaha, composed of an MRX7-D matrix processor as the core of a system that covered twelve different zones and fifty audio inputs.

In addition to the versatility of its open DSP architecture and ability to respond to the aforementioned customer needs, Yamaha MRX7-D is supported by two MTX3 matrix processors, con of Tio1608-D I/O rack units; all powered by five XMV8280 amplifiers.

As Miguel Ángel Aguado explains, Telsokit CEO, “One of the main requirements of the installation was to be able to route the audio from one area to another easily and quickly, allowing us to join or separate the areas, according to the needs of each event”.

So, a total of 72 VXS8 surface-mount and six VXC5F ceiling speakers distribute background music from three preamps with MusicCast streaming audio throughout the complex Yamaha WXC50DS, with a separate WXA50DS providing content for the children's area.

 

Besides, three laptops, connected via Dante Virtual Soundcard, provide high quality sound, without the background noise typical of analog audio connections of this type of equipment.

System includes three Line6 XD-V55 wireless microphones for a wide variety of uses. The MRX7-D processor's Dan Dugan automatic mixing ensures that more than one microphone can be used without the need for manual mixing.

To provide the necessary sound power for the club, four DXR12 full-range self-powered speakers have been installed., along with two compact DXS15 powered subwoofers.

Besides, Custom dashboards have been created in the ProVisionaire Touch app, iPad based, for control of input sources and system-wide volume levels. To which is added a system with a higher level of access, zone switching and message management using ProVisionaire Control Kiosk on a Windows PC.

On the other hand, Five DCP4S1V surface mount controllers have been installed throughout the complex, allowing staff to locally choose the audio source and easily adjust the volume for each main zone.

“One of the most important features of the system is the ability to control everything from a tablet or PC,” points out the CEO of Telsokit., meaning that the vast majority of expansion work is done at the software level. This allows customer needs to be easily adapted, without having to add additional hardware”.

For Esteban Robledo, This is just the beginning for Palmeral Resort, “This is a medium-term project and our facilities are going to grow year after year.”. “The decision to install a Yamaha audio solution helps ensure that the results between now and our full development will be a success.”.
