The Ritz-Carlton, Toronto, ON
Facing David Pecaut Square with views of Lake Ontario and the CN Tower, The Ritz-Carlton, Toronto is perfectly placed to explore the city. Amid its modern skyline, visitors can explore international cuisines, a vibrant arts scene, and professional sports.
Purpose
The Ritz-Carlton decided to redo the sound systems in their huge ballroom along with their luxurious spa, three dining rooms, and two bars. Management felt that the sound quality needed to be improved and have the sound customized to distinct zones throughout the hotel.
Challenge
This was a large project where TOA's design team worked closely with the integrator to ensure that the job was done right. With the different areas of the hotel needing an upgrade, it was challenging to incorporate the right speakers and amps that would satisfy the sound needs of the room while at the same time not going overboard with the equipment. Management at the Ritz-Carlton also desired speakers that could be hidden or blend well with the hotel style, affecting options and placement to ensure optimal quality and coverage.
Solution
The ballroom was outfitted with F-2852 ceiling speakers which disperse sound equally with the room. The speakers were controlled by the M-9000 preamplifier and powered by the DA250 power amplifier. In the smaller areas like the dining rooms, the versatile F-2352s were spread out for optimum coverage and sound clarity. They were driven by an A-824 mixer power amplifier.
The Ritz-Carlton also has an underground parking facility that requires a more secure access control. They chose the TOA N-8000 IP intercom system, allowing the hotel and its patrons to easily and reliably communicate, especially for emergencies.
Feedback
The Ritz-Carlton was excited to show off their new sound systems in the hotel, and believe customers will be happy with the sound quality.
