Powersoft amplifies the sound of the new Nyota hotel in Romania with Ottocanali

The Ottocanali 4k4 speakers from Powersoft have been deployed in the conference rooms, theater and common areas to offer quality sound, as well as evacuation messages throughout the premises.

He hotel Nyota It is a five star establishment, located in the privileged environment of the Romanian province of Dobrogea, between the Danube and the Black Sea, which in addition to great comfort and impressive views next to Lake Siutghiol, It has modern conference rooms and theater facilities to serve both vacation and business tourism..

For this, hotel managers have relied on the systems integrator AudioVision Store, distributor also of Powersoft in the country, to deploy amplification systems to enhance the audio of the rooms and different areas of the hotel premises, from the common areas to the theater areas, with capacity for seventy people.

In addition to being easy to use, the new system had to prioritize voice evacuation messages (Evac) for security and local and remote control of different areas.

“We started working with the hotel before construction,” he recalls. Marius Craiu, AudioVision Store sales and marketing manager- and although the initial specification of Powersoft Ottocanali was established from the beginning, There were modifications to adapt it to the system design on the fly”.

The first change was to properly cover all music and message areas and for some areas to also have the possibility of playing music from a local source and centrally.

“Evac messages had to have the highest priority, and it was also requested that they could be carried out both in individual and differentiated areas and throughout the entire premises.. The conference rooms, called Blue y Moon, “They would have independent sound systems that would be combined when the rooms were merged into a larger one”, explained Craiu.

The models Ottocanali 4k4 were specified by AudioVision as they not only provided the ability to combine low and high impedance speaker systems (More than eighty computers are in use at the Nyota hotel), but also full PSU redundancy in switched mode.

Added to this were assignable signal priorities for emergency messages.; digital signal processing for speaker equalization and a programmable matrix, all within 2U of rack height to save space and power for eight channels of amplification and processing; six of which are for low impedance speakers and the remaining two for line power. 100 V.

For both conference rooms, with capacity for sixteen seats each, Powersoft devices were specified Duecanali 804, that allow coverage of these spaces, that can be used individually or combined, in addition to offering very low power consumption and thermal dissipation, with connection to the backbone of the audio distribution system.

The control of the power platforms is carried out by Powersoft's Armonía software., which is used for system design and configuration, as well as for control displays and can be integrated with controllers AMX y Crestron to facilitate local use for operators.

“The hotel does not have its own sound engineers, but its IT staff is totally satisfied with the control systems we implement for them - Craiu emphasizes -. We have set the operator view to a basic level (volumes for zones and sources), and operator panels can be easily programmed at any time to provide additional functionality for technical staff.”.

With eighty speaker connections, Powersoft's live impedance curve, an integral part of Harmony software, made it easy to supervise during installation, plus adding a backup priority signal for any situation.
