Solution

It becomes more and more important for hotels to keep the standards of the services offered or even improve them. Nowadays, access to WLAN is a standard service offered to the guests but Bluetooth-compatible audio systems which allow you to stream music via mobile devices are rarely available.

The Bluetooth-enabled amplifier module IWA-05BT/WS is a convenient and easy-to-use solution for hotel rooms. The audio receiver features a user-friendly control unit and is integrated directly into the wall. Thanks to its compact design, it can be mounted into standard installation boxes from Ø 45 mm on. The gain level and thus the maximum volume level possible can be preset, if required.

For the music reproduction from Bluetooth-enabled devices, the flush-mounted amplifier is connected to 2 passive ceiling speakers EDL-42HQ. The 2-way version with coaxial dome tweeter, 10 cm (4“) bass speaker with waveguide and 20 mm (3/4“) silk tweeter provides a well-balanced sound to every corner of the hotel room. Thus, hotel guests can enjoy their favourite songs or streaming apps.

Wireless sound wherever you need it: multi-room via Wi-Fi and Bluetooth

The extra compact flush-mount amplifiers IWA-50WIFI/WS and IWA-05BT/WS provide a reliable sound reproduction for both commercial and private applications at large or small venues. The elegant flush-mounted solutions require little space only, yet provide plenty of comfort. For wireless audio streaming, the amplifier modules can be linked to mobile devices such as smartphones or tablet PCs.
With the flush-mount amplifier IWA-50WIFI/WS, you are able to quickly set up a high-performance and user-friendly multi-room system which can be operated in any Wi-Fi network via Android, iOS or Windows. The flush-mounted box IWA-50U/SW allows for an unobtrusive integration of the amplifier module into the network. Thanks to its high flexibility, the compact audio system is the perfect multi-room solution, e.g. for hotels and businesses. Halls, corridors or even hotel rooms can be provided with unobtrusive background music via Wi-Fi connection, while showing a presentation in the conference room via Bluetooth.
For mounting the Bluetooth-enabled amplifier module IWA-05BT/WS, you can use a standard wall box (Ø 45 mm or more). You can connect the amplifier output to one or more passive speakers via screw terminals.
The integrated 3.5 mm jack allows you to convert both flush-mount amplifiers into a music system for MP3 players or wired audio signals.
