Thus, the team not only designed the AV side but also the cable containment, data, the power requirements and the infrastructure required. The other major issue was that it only had a performance specification. The team says it had supply chain issues with equipment which was a major element that delayed the project. Speaking of installation challenges, the pandemic was no doubt the biggest factor.

Thus, the system consists of more than 300 Bose professional loudspeakers and arrays throughout the venue, color matched to the hotel’s ceilings and surroundings to ensure a discreet look. Visual Systems also supplied and installed Bose speakers and hardware for The Londoner. The VLANs were setup to segregate or incorporate different areas through the AMX control system software. The integrators chose AMX to control all system functions throughout the hotel and video-over-IP routing via AMX SVSI N2400 AV-over-IP units. The AV system also uses the hotel’s data infrastructure with a number of VLANs to route video and audio via Dante (audio-over-IP) and video-over-IP throughout the building. The entire system has more than 40,000 meters of AV cabling running throughout the building. The speakers are also color matched so they do not stand out and blend seamlessly into the hotel’s surroundings.įor event lighting, the team used Martin and Avolite control.

Nick Kalsi, Edwardian technology consultant, remarks, “I worked closely with Visual Systems on this project and am so pleased with the design and installation carried out, Visual Systems have done a great job in provided us with systems that are not only user friendly but easy to maintain and future proof, this has been a very difficult and long project for all due to COVID-19 but we have come out of it stronger with a product to be proud of, the ballroom is unique in that we have every item you may require for a high end event including a spectacular Martin Lighting system which just takes this area to another level.’’ Scope of Project The Londoner’s team went through an extensive vetting process and eventually awarded the contract to Visual Systems.
As a result, the team was one of five integrators bidding for this project. However, it still had to go through the process of tendering for this project as the customer contracted an external team to manage and run the project. U.K.-based Visual Systems, part of the Myriad Audio Visual Group, says it received the project as it took The Londoner’s environmental concerns into consideration.Īccording to the integration company, it has served as the approved supplier to the group for a number of years. The Nordaq water system again reduces carbon for deliveries and is a sustainable solution for premium water. It uses 30% less carbon usage than regulations demand along with energy saving lighting. BREEAM (Building Research Establishment Environmental Assessment Method) certification and was awarded ‘Excellent’ BREEAM rating. Moreover, the hotel has very green environmental credentials. These include inhouse virtual and hybrid events, nine future-proofed meeting rooms with VC and building wide music system for BGM, live music and DJ sets. The AV network within this new hotel comprises over 40,000 meters of AV/IP cabling, over 300 Bose professional speakers, and a state-of-the-art ballroom installed with every possible AV requirement and hardware required to manage all events.
