Making an Impression Through Hotel AV
Every detail matters to create an unforgettable experience for your hotel guests in Kansas City, MO. From the moment they step foot into your lobby, you want to captivate them and leave a lasting impression.
One often overlooked aspect of this experience is the audiovisual (AV) system. The atmosphere you create through AV can make or break the experience for guests. After all, when they first walk into the lobby, will they only hear awkward silence? Will the TVs in the bar appear outdated? Did the sound cut out and crackle in the lounge?
These first impressions mean everything. In fact, research conducted by Princeton psychologists has shown that it only takes a tenth of a second for people to generate an impression. That's why understanding and harnessing the power of hotel AV systems is crucial. What do the best hotels use? Let’s discuss.

First, Control Systems
To unlock the potential of your hotel’s AV, you’ll need a control system that allows you to consolidate and manage all your audio and video devices from one intuitive system. It will be no help to anyone if you need to juggle different remotes, apps, and switches every day!
With a centralized control system, you’ll have the flexibility to operate your hotel AV system using various devices, such as remotes, tablets, phones, or wall keypads. This means that your staff can effortlessly manage the AV experience for your guests, whether it's adjusting the volume, changing channels, or even controlling the lighting in the room.
Wired vs. Wireless AV
One decision you'll need to make for your hotel’s AV is whether to go with a wired or wireless setup. Each option has its own set of pros and cons that you should carefully consider.
A wired AV system, particularly when it comes to speakers, offers a reliable and consistent connection. By directly connecting your speakers to the network, you can ensure that the streaming won't go down even if the Wi-Fi drops. However, a wired system will require a professional installation.
On the other hand, wireless AV systems allow you to place speakers wherever you want (although they’ll still need to be near a power outlet). This can be particularly beneficial if you're looking to retrofit your existing hotel rooms. However, it's important to note that wireless systems may be subject to interference and can be affected by the quality of the Wi-Fi signal or Bluetooth ranges.
The Power of High-Fidelity Audio
Beyond control and wires, the quality of your speakers will make a noticeable difference. And if your bar or restaurant ever hosts performances, the speakers you choose will impact the show.
High-fidelity speakers are designed to accurately reproduce sound, capturing every detail and nuance of the audio. They offer a wider frequency range, allowing guests to hear the full spectrum of sound, from the deepest bass to the highest treble. In contrast, low-end audio speakers often lack the clarity and depth that high-fidelity speakers provide.
In-Wall & In-Ceiling Installations
Are you concerned about how AV systems will impact interior design or space? Many hotels choose to install in-wall or in-ceiling audio solutions. These discreet speakers can seamlessly blend into hotel decor, providing a clean and unobtrusive audio experience while still delivering high-quality sound.
And as for video? You can disguise TVs in common spaces or hotel rooms with retractable in-ceiling and in-wall lifts. Guests will marvel at the modern innovation, and they can make more space in smaller guest rooms.
