Creating Comfortable Atmosphere for Hotel Guests with Soothing Background Music
Audiocratz Sound and Light Solutions cater to the design and supply system of Best Western Plus,
Indore with Yamaha audio systems
The Best Western Plus hotel in Indore, central India, offers state-of-the-art accommodation
and
services for both business and leisure travellers. In its restaurant and bar areas, Yamaha audio
system provides both soothing background music, creating a comfortable atmosphere for
travellers, as
well as high-quality sound reinforcement for live entertainment.
The challenge
The hotel management wanted a visually discreet audio solution, which would match the interior but
with no compromise on sound quality. Delivering high quality background music, the ability to also
handle events like parties and smaller live performances would allow the hotel to expand the use of
the restaurant space. An important factor was that, with the bar area being glass-fronted, here an
alternative was needed to wall-mounted speakers.
Vinayak Luthra of Indore-based Audiocratz Sound & Light Solutions was commissioned to
design and
supply the system. After auditioning speakers from several manufacturers and considering various
designs to ensure the system would not intrude on the aesthetics of the space, he chose a Yamaha
solution.
The solution
Four VXS8 two-way, surface-mount speakers, driven by a PX3 amplifier, were installed
in the
restaurant for background music. In addition, sound reinforcement for live performances was catered
by DHR12M, two-way bi-amped loudspeakers and DXS18-XLF powered subwoofers, with mixing
for
performers on an MG10XU mixing console. Audio for live events is also routed through the VXS8s.
In the bar area, Yamaha's new VXH series pendant speakers were the ideal solution, thanks to
their
audio quality, volume, and ease of installation. The VXH8 two-way speakers were installed, along
with VXS3F compact, full-range surface mount units and an NS-SW300 powered subwoofer. This system
provided the necessary volume and sound quality to provide a pleasant atmosphere, without
interrupting the conversation of guests.
Mahendra Singh Rajput, the hotel manager, said, "The solution provided by Yamaha and Audiocratz has
completely lived up to my expectations. The speakers blend well with the hotel's aesthetics and the
amazing sound quality really enhances the customer experience."
