Sanctuary Lakes Hotel; a haven for quality A/V

Situated in the newly developed Melbourne Australia sea side suburb of Point Cook, the Sanctuary Lakes Hotel is truly is multi-faceted venue and will be the icon of Melbourne's fastest developing growth corridor

The venue management are very experienced hoteliers and the vision of what he required was firm. Uncompromising quality AV throughout, and a control system which can be operated by any number of staff, and damaged by none! The venue serves the local area by hosting many council, corporate and sporting club functions and events as well as a full program of entertainment.  The A/V system is high tech yet functional across a wide variety of requirements. Ethernet based video distribution deals with both the multi channel sporting requirements and the entertainment all controlled by touch panels. The zones are as varied as the functions

• Main Bistro
• Function Room 1
• Function Room 2  (The three zones can split and combine, making 800 person functions possible)
• Piano / Live Music Bar
• Tapas / Cocktail Bar
• Kids play centre
• Large Gaming Room
• One of Australia's most comprehensive Sports Bars, over 50 TV screens, Pool tables etc.
• 3 Outdoor Breakout Zones for dining/drinking

Function areas can be extended or minimised and all with zoned full range audio

The Audio system can accommodate live, reproduced music and spoken word zoned throughout the complex for control of multiple event spaces. Quest Engineering HPI Series PA Systems in Piano Bar, Function Room 1, Function Room 2 are capable of high SPL output yet discrete in appearance. These are augmented by Quest MS series speakers as a distributed system as required. The result is uniform sound and control of each audio space in an environment where sound spill can be a problem.

Here’s a comment from sound designer Jonathan Sinclair overseeing the project.  

“I simply cannot believe how well Quest Engineering have done with their HPI series of speaker & subwoofer cabinets. Stunning sonic performance yet still extremely price competitive! The HPI series punches well above its weight and wins shootout after shootout. We have followed the Quest evolution and long been a strong supporter of the brand, and now with the HPI series, I'm thrilled to use them on high profile installations which demand only 'top shelf' audio solutions".
