One of the most iconic casinos on the Las Vegas Strip has refreshed its audio provision using technology from Powersoft in a renovation that both improves the ambiance of the casino floor and redefines the gaming experience for guests.
Designed and delivered by Global AV Group, a boutique company based in Long Island, New York, the finished project includes 26 Powersoft Quattrocanali 4804 DSP-D and 13 Quattrocanali 8804 DSP-D amplifiers, both with onboard DSP and Dante networking, as well as five X4L amplifiers with DSP.
The noise from the collusion of slot machines, card tables and hopeful players, means that the soundscape of a casino can be overwhelming. Installing Powersoft amplifiers across this casino marks a significant step forward in modernising its audio infrastructure.
‘The client wanted to elevate the casino’s atmosphere with a modern, high-performance sound system that enhances the guest experience while balancing the energy of the gaming floor,’ says President and CEO of Global AV Group, Jason Ojeda. ‘Our objective was to create a seamless and immersive listening environment that matched the excitement of the space – and we delivered. This was a major undertaking, and [Powersoft Senior Sales Engineer for Large Venues] Rick Woida played a key role in helping us be successful. Of all our installations to date, this is one I’m most and especially proud of.’
Ojeda explains the approach taken to ensure the project was a success: ‘To meet the client’s mandate, we began with a meticulous and comprehensive assessment of the property, considering every nuance and potential challenge. A team of eight worked tirelessly over five days and nights to complete the initial phase, which involved locating the transformers, the cable paths, addressing the speaker-hole size in the ceiling, power requirements, and addressing countless other details to ensure a smooth and successful installation. By the way, taking the entire system offline for an extended period of time was not an option, so maintaining the guest experience was critically important to the project’s overall success.’
The new sound system combines Powersoft amplifiers with more than 1,000 loudspeakers and subwoofers from various manufacturers. The retrofit has transformed the auditory experience within the casino. ArmoníaPlus’s Install Skin delivers a streamlined configuration of sources and control surfaces, allowing complete control using Powersoft’s Dynamic Music Distribution System, making it easier to share audio content among different zones independently from the source location.
‘Powersoft they are the go-to here at Global AV Group for several reasons,’ Ojeda continues. ‘The sonic quality, reliability, and the power of the Armonía[Plus] system are unmatched. Collaborating with the Powersoft team on this project was a pleasure. It’s a testament to how shared vision, technical innovation and meticulous execution come together to create an unparalleled customer experience.’
Guests immediately noticed the difference, according to Ojeda, with the new system delivering consistent sound levels throughout the casino, no matter where they are.
‘Audio plays a crucial role in creating an unforgettable environment,’ Woida explains. ‘Our systems are designed to provide consistent and dynamic sound in any setting. We were thrilled to collaborate with Global AV Group and this iconic venue and contribute to their shared legacy of excellence.’
