Mahajak brings Phuket’s first Hotel Indigo to life
Phuket’s Hotel Indigo Patong has been outfitted with brand-new audio and video systems from Harman. Mahajak was enlisted by Kebsup Group for the project, which features new equipment serving the venue’s canteen, lobby, all-day dining and bar areas, both the public and rooftop bar, the gym and the hotel meeting rooms.
Situated at the heart of Patong next to Patong beach, the hotel was constructed in 2017 with a distinctive design inspired by the destination’s origin as a small fishing village. It comprises 180 guest rooms across 6,400m2 of space and is situated close to tourist attractions. In addition, it was the first time that Kebsup Group Company Limited and InterContinental Hotels Group (IHG) worked together to open the first Hotel Indigo in Phuket.
The audio system is providing sound for two separate public area zones. The lobby, all-day dining, canteen and gym have been outfitted with JBL Control14CT and Control8124 ceiling speakers and Control25-1+MTC-PC2 5-inch loudspeakers, driven by JBL CSA2120Z amplifiers. BSS BLU-100 and BLU-50 processors are used for control and sound configuration from the computer source. Each area permits independent playback, with local volume control from a BSS BLU-3 mounted on the wall. The entire audio system connects with the building’s fire alarm system in case of an emergency.
The bar, rooftop and public pool areas have similarly been installed with Control14CT and Control8124 ceiling speakers and Control25-1+MTC-PC2 5-inch loudspeakers, as well as additional Control23-1+MTC-23WMG-1 weatherproof cabinets. These are driven by a combination of JBL CSA1120Z, CSA2120Z and Crown XLi3500 amps, with BSS BLU-100 and BLU-50 again used for control and sound configuration in these areas. Additional weather-resistant Control29-1AV, Control25-1+MTC-25WMG-1 w+MTC-PC2 and Control SB2210 subwoofers are called upon to support additional entertainment requirements for the outdoor areas.
The hotel’s two meetings room can be used separately or combined and each feature independent audio systems comprising Control16C/T and JBL Control8124 which are ceiling loudspeakers, driven by a Crown XLS1502 for use during meeting, seminars and banquets.
These systems are driven by Crown XLS1502 amps and processed, controlled and configured by a BSS BLU-100. Shure SLX24/SM58 wireless microphone systems were used for both rooms and feed into a Soundcraft Signature 10 mixing console.
The visual system for these rooms utilises HDBaseT to transport the video signal through Cat-6 cabling, with HDMI over HDBaseT supported by the KANEXPRO EXT-HDBT70MRX receiver and WP-HDBASETX dual-input wall-plate transmitter. Panasonic PT-VW350 projectors were provided for both rooms and have been paired with RAZR EMW-H120 120-inch and EMW-H150 150-inch screens that support WUXGA resolution.
