Four OMNI-CORD/SW, two OMNI-REC/WS and three OMNI-TRACK/SW were installed in total to cover the rooms acoustically from end to end. The four controllable audio zones comprise the vaulted cellar, the lounges including reception, and the sanitary rooms. With a frequency response from 50 Hz to 15 kHz, the Spottune speakers reach a maximum sound pressure level of 100 dB.
The OMNI-CORD/SW Spottune speakers used in the vaulted cellar come with a 5 m cable, so suspended ceiling mounting is straightforward. Two speakers are enough to fill the acoustically demanding vault, almost 6 m high, evenly. Their discreet design makes both speakers appear to float in the room.
All Spottune speakers work omnidirectionally: 360° dispersion ensures that the sound radiates evenly in every direction. The result is a pleasant, consistent listening experience whatever your position in the room. Thanks to this 360° sound field, any room can be covered effectively with just a few speakers.

The Spottune STREAM base station serves as the central transmitting and receiving unit: every speaker connects wirelessly to the wireless audio streamer by simple plug and play, and it is done in next to no time. The frequency range from 1.8 to 1.9 GHz ensures stable audio transmission without interference from Wi-Fi, for instance. Two separate output zones can be configured on each STREAM. A connected DMP-130MIXBT MP3 player and microphone-line mixer offers additional input channels, among them connections for a microphone and two stereo sources with line level (a mixer or CD player, say).
Simple installation and configuration, and the ability to adapt the Spottune speaker setup effortlessly to changing requirements and room conditions, make the system the ideal solution for the varied sound requirements at wineBANK Heidelberg. Thomas Velten praises how well the system is integrated into the design concept. But the simple installation and commissioning convince too:
