Bluesound redefines the guest sound experience at Four Points by Sheraton Barcelona Diagonal

The audiovisual integrator Wipple in collaboration with Speaking of Pro lead the transformation of the sound environments of the common areas and restaurants of the Four Points by Sheraton Barcelona Diagonal hotel, a project marked by simplification and audio quality starring the solutions of Bluesound Professional.

In order to improve the audio in the reception, the bar, the living room, the gym, the restaurant and outdoor lounge, The analog speakers that the hotel had were replaced with three active PoE speakers BSP1000 and four ceiling speakers BCS300. Equipped with network audio platform Blue OS, a network player B400S acts as a nerve center, managing and distributing uniform coverage across up to four independent zones and allowing the hotel to customize the music in each area.

The use of the streaming service Mood Media allows you to offer brand-aligned music throughout the hotel. A touch screen control panel CP300 mounted on the wall in the reception back room provides a centralized control of a system that, how do you explain Albert Paya, Wipple Professional AV Sales Specialist, it had to be easy to handle: “The key requirement was simplified operation. Sound quality has improved significantly in all common spaces, and everything can be managed from one place. Each zone can be adjusted quickly and independently using the touch screen, even the rooftop gym”.

Since the hotel operates 24 hours of the day, It was essential that the installation caused the minimal discomfort to staff and guests. The project was completed in just two days thanks to his network based design and to the PoE powered speakers.

The arrival of solutions Bluesound Professional has marked a before and after at the hotel. “The old setup required a lot more wiring, which caused continuous connectivity problems and made management difficult for the hotel. This has been greatly simplified, “which makes it much easier to add additional speakers for future expansions”, explains Ricard Vilalta, Wipple integrator.

The project was driven by the strong relationship between Wipple and Gaplasa Pro, what, as official distributor of the brand, provided essential specialized knowledge both in the design as in that of implementation of the installation. The satisfaction of the Four Points Sheraton is total. In fact, there are already plans for expand the installation: “They have asked us to install several more speakers next year, expanding the system and further improving the hotel environment”, Paya says..
