In the spotlight
Hotel Delano
South Miami Beach, Florida
Hotel Delano is one of the most elegant hotels in the USA and a part of the Morgan's Hotel Group. Clair Brothers has provided audio and video systems to other hotels in the Morgan's hotel family in the past. When the time came to upgrade the sound system in Delano's public spaces, the management turned again to Clair Brothers Systems. A comprehensive sound system was designed, that consisted of over 120 loudspeakers in 10 different zones, from the lobby all the way to the poolside bar and private cabanas. The installation took place in September and October of 2003.

The Delano sits at the heart of South Beach, directly at the ocean and draws an upscale clientele. Clair Brothers designed a system that doesn't disturb the interior design while complementing the hotels image with high quality audio playback.
The Sea Bar is served by a combination of JBL in-ceiling loudspeakers and Bagend subwoofers as well as KEF loudspeakers from the previous sound system that were reused in this installation.
The lobby in front of the Rose Bar and the Brasserie Restaurant is where the DJs setup for parties. Six Clair R2D loudspeakers supplemented by four Bagend D12 subwoofers provide the sound in this area. The Rose Bar and the Brasserie received their own speaker packages consisting of Speakercraft in-ceiling speakers and Bagend subwoofers.
The outdoor dining area is an extension of the indoor restaurants and provides a similar audio playback quality. Volume can be adjusted in three different dining areas independently.

The poolside has its own self-contained audio system. It consists of three separate zones with volume controls for every cabana, the beach and each side of the bar. A separate audio feed provides music to underwater loudspeakers.
