CASE STUDY

Sandbourne Hotel Audio System Installation in Santa Monica

Corporate Innovation

The Sandbourne Santa Monica is a luxury beachfront hotel in Santa Monica, California, created from the former Le Merigot Hotel. As the property was reimagined, the owners determined that the existing speakers would not deliver the audio performance needed for the newly designed spaces.

The hotel partnered with AV Planners to upgrade its commercial audio system across the main lobby, indoor-outdoor restaurant and poolside area. AV Planners installed a new network of Sonance speakers and subwoofers while integrating the new audio equipment with the hotel’s existing Biamp DSP and Crestron control system.

Sonance Lobby and Patio Audio System

Sonance speakers were installed throughout the hotel’s lobby and patio. In the lobby, AV Planners replaced the previous speakers with twenty-nine eight-inch ceiling speakers and added five eight-inch ceiling subwoofers for fuller, more balanced sound. The zero-bezel ceiling speakers blend into the finished ceiling, while five six-inch surface-mount speakers extend clear audio coverage to the lobby patio.

Poolside and Restaurant Audio Installation

Around the pool, AV Planners installed eight six-inch Sonance planter speakers directly into existing planters to keep the equipment visually discreet while distributing sound more evenly across the outdoor space. Twelve-inch burial and hardscape subwoofers add low-frequency support. In the restaurant, eight-inch Sonance ceiling speakers replaced the previous four-inch speakers, with two twelve-inch hardscape subwoofers added to the system.

Biamp DSP and Crestron Audio Control Integration

AV Planners retained the hotel’s existing Biamp Digital Signal Processors (DSPs) and Crestron control system, configuring them to work with the new Sonance speakers and subwoofers. The Biamp DSPs support acoustic processing including echo cancellation, noise reduction and equalization.

Crestron centralized control allows the hotel’s AV manager to manage audio settings, presets and configurations from on-site touch panels or a mobile app. AV Planners can also access the controls remotely to assist with system changes or troubleshooting.

After-Hours Hotel AV Installation and Project Result

Because the hotel remained open during installation, AV Planners coordinated evening work to minimize disruption to guests. The team worked late into the night, cleaned each work area before reopening to guests and managed the additional setup required for drywall work and scaffolding. Scaffolding was used to install audio equipment in the main lobby’s 20-foot ceiling.

The completed installation provides upgraded audio coverage throughout the lobby, patio, restaurant and poolside areas while preserving centralized Biamp processing and Crestron control.
