The latest addition to the Croatian Maistra chain of hotels and resorts is an exclusive resort on the waterfront of Lone Bay, in the protected Monte Mulini forest of Rovinj. Here, local distributor Dicroic was able to desplay its installation skills as well as the performance of an L-Acoustics 12XTi coaxial system.
Hotel Lone is Croatia’s first five-star hotel, providing a year-round leisure and business services. To accommodate these, Dicroic has installed an L-Acoustics system into the hotel’s multi-purpose conference hall, which is designed to host a range of conferences and theatrical and concert events. A second system has been installed in the hotel’s jazz club.
The 600-capacity congress hall has been equipped with L-Acoustics 12XTis as a LR system, with two 108Ps as delays and two ground-stacked SB18i subwoofers, all powered by LA4 amplified controllers. Designed principally to provide coverage for the main auditorium, the system can also be subdivided to provide sound for three smaller rooms – two 12XTis and two SB18is for the first hall, two 108Ps for the second, and two 108Ps for the third.
The Hotel Lone jazz club sound system uses two12XTis at LR in front of the stage along with two ground-stacked SB18i subwoofers. At the opposite end of the room to the stage is a delay system of two L-Acoustics 108Ps.
‘Using L-Acoustics’ 3D acoustical simulation program SoundVision, we were able to determine the precise position of the 12XTis,’ says Dicroic’s Slaven Tahirbegović. ‘This allowed us to get extremely good results in the hotel’s multi-purpose conference hall in terms of excellent sound coverage without reflection, with a small amount of enclosures.
‘For the Hotel Lone’s jazz club, L-Acoustics has provided an outstanding listening experience with its distinctive warm and precise sound. Once again this proves to me that superior technology gives excellent results in practice.’
Dicroic has carried out many fixed installations using L-Acoustics systems, including the Sanctuary Medjugorje in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Club Equador, Club Vanilla the Croatian National Theatre in Split and Saturnus Discoteque in Zadar, and Dubrovnik Airport.
