Mauro Jacobellis of Harbour Marine Systems comments, "Praesideo provides excellent audio performance and ease-of-use, and has impressed a number of our major clients. Praesideo is perfect for Carnival because it fully complies with every rule and regulation set down by maritime authorities.
"In our business, working with marine applications, we have specific issues to address. For example, our client needed a public address system approved for ship use (for insurance purposes), and we needed to replace our previous system quickly in the dry dock, because the ship can't sail if the system isn't working. We always try to get the most direct replacement for a ship's current system, and Praesideo amplifiers matched our previous amplifiers very closely."
So far, Harbour Marine Systems has installed Praesideo on the Carnival Destiny, Carnival Triumph, Carnival Fantasy, Carnival Inspiration, Carnival Imagination, Royal Caribbean's Majesty of the Seas, Star Cruise Line's Star Pisces, and has immediate plans for three more installations.
"A good PA system is a mandatory part of every liner," Jacobellis adds, "and there are a lot of ships out there looking to upgrade to the Praesideo system."
