MAYFAIR Lake Resort, India

The Opportunity

Opened in 2019 and located amid lush greenery that overlooks the Jhangh Lake, the luxurious MAYFAIR Lake Resort offers lavish accommodations, great banqueting and event space, world-class facilities and some of the best restaurants in Raipur. In addition to being a renowned travel destination, the resort is also a popular wedding and event location, as it features more than 124 rooms and suites, the MAYFAIR Spa, salon, fitness center, swimming pool and Kids Play area. Wanting to provide guests an unforgettable stay and experience, MAYFAIR Lake Resort needed state-of-the-art audio, video, lighting and control (AVLC) systems that matched the quality of its immaculate facilities and delivered stunning visuals and pristine sound across the property.

The Solution

To meet these goals, MAYFAIR Lake Resort hired audio integrators, Qubix Technologies, to design and install a resort-wide, world-class HARMAN Professional AVLC solution, which includes Martin Professional lighting, JBL Professional loudspeakers, AMX control systems and much more.

Illuminating the resort’s amenities with dazzling lighting, Qubix Technologies deployed an arsenal of Martin fixtures. With their powerful output, compact size, energy-efficient LED and rugged, IP66-rated housing, Qubix Technologies installed 40 Martin Exterior Wash 200, 32 Exterior Wash 100 and six Exterior Wash 210 fixtures. While the Exterior Wash lights provide reliable performance and durability to withstand weather demands, Qubix Technologies lit up the indoor spaces with two RUSH MH 5 Profile compact moving heads and 96 RUSH CS1200 Graze linear wash fixtures, which offer the resort ultimate flexibility to choose the exact look they need for certain areas. The lighting system also includes eight Martin DMX 5.3 Splitters to ensure peak operation and maintain proper DMX signal throughout the hotel.

Beyond the lighting displays, Qubix Technologies also equipped MAYFAIR Lake Resort with world-class sound. Twelve JBL VRX932LAP two-way powered line array loudspeakers provide pristine audio and crystal-clear speech intelligibility, while four VRX918SP powered flying subwoofers with patented Differential Drive® 18” woofers offer impressive, accurate low-frequency response. Throughout the rest of the resort’s indoor spaces, Qubix Technologies installed an array of JBL Control 10 Series, Control Contractor 20 Series, Control 40 Series, 8100 Series and Control CRV Architectural speakers, including 50 CRV White speakers, 64 JBL 8124, 56 Control 47HC, 50 Control 12C/T and 30 Control 24CT ceiling loudspeakers as well as eight Control 23-1, four Control 28-1 and two Control 25-1 two-way speakers.

Completing the indoor sound systems, Qubix Technologies deployed four AC599 and AC18/95 two-way loudspeakers, one AC115S 15” high-powered subwoofer, four SRX828S subwoofers as well as many more JBL speakers. Delivering excellent audio outdoors and providing guests a complete, immersive sound experience, MAYFAIR Lake Resort features 50 Control 85M landscape speakers, 14 AWC82 all-weather loudspeakers and one AWC15LF all-weather low-frequency speaker. For public address applications that offer guests with crystal-clear announcements throughout the property, Qubix Technologies installed eight JBL CSS-H30 paging horns as well as six AKG DST99 S dynamic paging microphones.

Though JBL speakers provide the audio, Crown amplifiers power the complex solution while an assortment of AMX, BSS, dbx and Soundcraft products guarantee the system delivers optimum sound quality. Qubix Technologies chose Crown CDi Series amps because of their power handling capabilities and extreme durability, while AMX SVSI N1000 Series Encoders and Decoders provide MAYFAIR Lake Resort with a local AV over IP switching solution that packetizes video into a minimally compressed IP format. BSS signal processors, dbx direct boxes and Soundcraft mixers, including Si Impact, Signature 16 and Notepad-5 consoles, ensure the system provides pristine fidelity throughout the hotel.

The Impact

“MAYFAIR needed a multi-aspect, cross-category solution for their new property in Raipur. From audio and video over IP signal distribution, to lighting, microphones, mixers and speakers, we sourced products from HARMAN because of their complete solutions,” said Rhythm Arora of Qubix Technologies.
