Design/build firm Pro-Comm and its division, The Music Room installed AV systems and automatic shades in all 120 hotel rooms. Hotel 1000's nine boardrooms and conference rooms also feature an AV distribution system installed by The Music Room using SymNet audio networking equipment.
"We were referred to the product specifically by our A/V designer, Stan Holt. We chose Symetrix because they are local, have good tech support andwere willing to help onsite with the system configuration," said Bob Davis, field supervisor and co-owner of Pro-Comm/The Music Room.
Taking collaboration and sharing to another level, nearly any source device like a DVD player or computer is potentially available as an AV sourcedevice anywhere on the network of the nine boardrooms. The hotel's background music system is available as a component on the AV network byusing one SymNet 8x8 DSP box and one SymNet BreakOut12 box, located in the main equipment centre.
The Music Room's design uses SymNet's matrixing abilities to take audio sources and route them to public areas. "The BreakOut12 box gives the hotel more output zones and gives level control to other areas like the parking garage, spa and lobby," Davis adds. "We were new to the product and appreciated the support of Ryan Curtright from Symetrix for tech support and help with SymNet configuration."
