VOID | Kimpton Vividora Barcelona

Void sound systems equip the five-star Kimpton Vividora Hotel in Barcelona.

The Kimpton Vividora Hotel, a sophisticated 5-star hotel with a rooftop bar and pool located in Barcelona, sought to modernize its sound system while adhering to strict local noise regulations. The goal was to create a relaxing atmosphere throughout the establishment that resonated with its millennial clientele, with a focus on the restaurant and rooftop areas.

Seeking a solution for strict sound regulations.

The Kimpton Vividora Hotel is located in the cultural center of the city, offering an ideal enclave for visitors to Barcelona's Gothic Quarter. A central point in the city full of activities, including a rooftop pool and bar, as well as restaurants frequented by local artists and musicians in the vicinity.

To meet the hotel's premise of merging luxury with Barcelona's artistic culture, Kimpton sought an audio solution that could achieve both maximum sound quality and regulatory compliance.

Luxury audio with dynamic control.

The previous sound system at Kimpton did not meet local sound level requirements and lacked the desired clarity and fidelity. Impressed by Void Acoustics during one of their demonstrations at Integrated Systems Europe (ISE) in Barcelona, Visualplanet recommended Void's innovative speaker technology as the ideal solution.

Visualplanet transformed the space with Void Acoustics' Cyclone 55 speakers, which feature precise sound direction to maintain the buzz of the rooftop bar without disturbing neighbors. On the other hand, the smaller Cyclone 4 speakers distributed in the numerous relaxation areas of the rooftop ensure targeted and high-fidelity audio.

Regarding the restaurant, the outdated ceiling speakers were replaced by Cirrus 6.1 speakers, ensuring smooth sound distribution at lower volumes. As relaxed conversations over coffee during the day transform into Barcelona's vibrant nightlife, Void sound systems can create any ambiance Kimpton needs to cater to its visitors.

Bias D1, Q1, and Q2 amplifiers were installed to ensure exceptional sound quality within the establishment and strict noise control outside, a win-win for the hotel and the surrounding community.

José Cabeza, CTO of Visualplanet, states: "We knew the result would surprise the client since the product meets their acoustic and aesthetic expectations. It was a sure success."

Satisfied customers and happy neighbors.

The transformation of the sound at the Kimpton Vividora Hotel is a great success. The new Void system complies with noise level requirements, ensuring that the hotel offers proper musical ambiance without worrying about disturbing neighbors. The sleek design of Void speakers complements the hotel's modern aesthetic, in line with the luxurious ambiance of Kimpton's facilities.

"The result has been a complete success, giving us the assurance of compliance with regulations. Now we have a pleasant or festive atmosphere depending on the area." - Merry Antoja, General Manager of Kimpton Vividora
