Iconic Las Vegas casino gives thumbs up to Powersoft and Global AV Group

One of the most iconic casinos on the world-famous Las Vegas Strip has elevated its guest experience with a state-of-the-art sound system renovation using advanced audio technology from Powersoft. This renovation not only elevates the ambiance of the casino floor but redefines the gaming experience for its guests, further setting the standard for high-end hospitality and entertainment.

Designed and delivered by Global AV Group, a boutique outfit from Long Island, New York, the finished project includes 26 Powersoft Quattrocanali 4804 DSP-D and 13 Quattrocanali 8804 DSP-D amplifiers, both with built-in DSP and Dante networking, as well as five X4L amplifiers with DSP.

Amid the constant chime of slot machines, the buzz of card tables filled with hopeful players, and the steady movement of patrons and servers weaving through the aisles, the soundscape of a casino can be overwhelming, which calls for pristine sound management. Installing Powersoft amplifiers across the casino marks a significant step forward in modernising its audio infrastructure. Famous for their unmatched sound clarity, energy efficiency, and durability, the Powersoft amplifiers – with built-in DSP and system design via Powersoft’s innovative ArmoníaPlus software – deliver a rich and immersive sound experience perfectly tailored to the excitement and energy of one of the most prestigious casino destinations in the world.

“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 Jason Ojeda, [president and CEO of Global AV Group. “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 – 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.”

Not built in a day
Ojeda shares the approach taken to ensure this 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 over a thousand loudspeakers and subwoofers from various manufacturers. The retrofit has transformed the auditory experience within the casino by delivering crystal-clear sound. 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.

All roads lead to Powersoft
“As for Powersoft, they are the go-to amplifier here at Global AV Group for several reasons,” Ojeda continues. “The sonic quality, reliability, and the power of the Armonía[Plus] system are unmatched.” He adds: “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 audio system delivering consistent sound levels throughout the casino, no matter where they are. The audio energises the atmosphere on the gaming floor without overpowering conversations or announcements.

“Audio plays a crucial role in creating an unforgettable environment,” explains Rick Woida. “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.”
