By: Chris Gunton It’s been a very busy summer for us, with our main focus on Coworth Park, the Dorchester Collection’s latest hotel which opened at the end of September. CGA has installed integrated audio and video systems throughout their dining and function rooms as well as in their eco-spa; - Events rooms have monitors at the dining tables to support Chef’s table corporate dining events. - Plastered in speakers were used in design sensitive areas to blend seamlessly with the surroundings. - Ceiling speakers and built in radio microphone aerials ensure good sound balance and ease of presentations or speeches in function rooms with vaulted ceilings and floor to ceiling windows. - UK produced equipment was used to lower the eco-spa carbon footprint. - Installation of underwater speakers and multiple music sources complements each spa area, maximising the guest experience. Please contact me directly if you would like to see if any of these solutions could be used in your business. More detailed case studies will follow shortly; keep an eye on our web site and in the press for details. Please don’t forget to register for compensation for any UHF wireless microphones which operate using channel 69. The closing date is 31st December 2010. If you need any help or advice on how to upgrade or improve your system as a result of these changes, we are very happy to work with you to create a solution to best suit your needs. And finally, a date for your diary, the Hospitality show at Birmingham’s NEC is on the 24 to 26th January 2011. We will be there on stand 736 and very much hope that you will visit us.
