Our typical hotel sound system renovation entails the replacement of older model mixers, amplifiers, room audio combiners, and microphone input plates.  The racks, wiring, and speakers are usually re-used, as they have a much longer lifetime than electronic components.

The recently renovated B Resort & Spa, an official Walt Disney World® resort located just outside Disney Springs in Orlando, Florida, was a notable exception. With the age of the original building, the owners embarked on a year-long project to strip out almost the entire interior and rebuild…a considerable renovation to the original hotel.

Where our original plan was for replacement of the electronics and speakers in four ballrooms and four meeting rooms, plans grew to include sound systems for two new meeting rooms, all with touch panel remote controls in the rooms, plus background music for a new fitness center, outdoor meeting patio, pool bar and pool deck, plus music in the restaurant, pre-function areas, lobby, corridors, restrooms, elevators, spa, snack bar, porte cochere, and even underwater speakers in the pool itself!

Many amplifiers, zone attenuators and a few customer controls later, B Resort & Spa’s expanded needs for a more luxurious hotel, spa and meeting center were accomplished.
