It’s the type of task you’d imagine many government departments need to take care of all the time: Take a VC call with an equivalent department overseas and conduct business via interpreters. It may not be exotic or glamorous, nonetheless, effective communication is critical to doing intergovernmental business, where every word, phrase and inflection can be crucial.

The Ritz Carlton
Perth’s newest luxury hotel installed by Programmed Electrical Technologies, WA
The Ritz Carlton is Perth’s newest luxury hotel. A $400 million dollar project, including two residential and hotel towers, the site was in construction for three years. With the promise of a 6-star rated experience, it was imperative that everything, from technology, audio visual equipment and décor, meet the expectations of future residents and visitors.
Smart Home Solutions used a house music amp to receive all of the home’s music sources and back-fed audio from the TVs. They then sent the ‘loop’ audio to a processor as well as amplified audio to concealed Sonance speakers.
All speakers were concealed within linear air conditioning grills both functional and dummy.
No speakers at all were visible. The net effect in all spaces was clear, crisp audio emanating from an unidentifiable source.
Endframe, the content and events production company responsible
for production at Clipped, worked closely with Amber Technology to
install Digital Projection’s range of E-Vision, M-Vision and HIGHlite
