Stereo systems in casinos

Music in a casino has a great impact on guests, making the game more comfortable and exciting. For the owners of gaming spaces, it is important to properly arrange the acoustic system so that the speakers are organically distributed throughout the room, and the sound spreads evenly. It is also important to use quality equipment of famous brands to eliminate sound defects. ARX is a developer and supplier of an extended range of stereo systems and mixers that can help make the casino atmosphere perfect for gambling.

The article was written by Sophia Manuera, one of FastPay Casino's top key customer experts.

Synopsis: A stereo system is a chain of components that delivers sound in a space. Coordinated equipment allows for optimal coverage and sound quality. Each component has its own purpose and is important to the overall chain. Typically, a stereo system consists of: one mixer, an amplifier component, and at least two speaker units.

Each unit is connected alternately by a block of wires, but modern solutions allow a multimedia mixer to be connected to power remotely via bluetooth. This provides the freedom of movement of players in the casino hall, no additional fasteners and boxes.

What to consider when placing stereos in the gaming room

The correct placement of stereos is very important for quality sound distribution. When placing speakers and multimedia mixers should take into account:

1. The size and shape of the room;
2. The presence of sound-absorbing surfaces;
3. The degree to which the casino is isolated from outside noise;
4. Availability of additional stages for performances and holiday events;
5. The average daily capacity of visitors.

After such analysis, the number of speakers and their location relative to each other is calculated. There are two basic acoustic types:

1. Horizontally oriented - the speakers are placed at the same distance, providing a smooth transition of sound coverage zones. A uniform response is created throughout the space, which is most suitable for casinos.
2. Vertically Oriented Speakers - Speakers are placed on tripods with a downward slope. The energy of the speakers is directed to the audience, there are no destructive reflections. This type is suitable for small spaces with a small coverage area.

If the casino is planning a holiday event with a large crowd near the stage, you can use a vertical layout with the addition of speakers at the ends of the hall. To eliminate the effect of delayed sound, it will be necessary to delay the signal of the additional speakers for a certain amount of time. With ARX stereo systems, this is a fairly simple procedure, as the mixers can be controlled remotely using a PC.

Innovative Multimedia Mixers for casinos

To create a good sound and gaming atmosphere in the casino room, it is important not only to arrange the acoustic equipment, but also to adjust the sound, change playlists. It is most convenient to do it remotely. Modern multimedia mixers company ARX can connect via Bluetooth to a variety of devices. In addition, such equipment has a number of advantages:

• Simple interface understandable even to non-professional technicians;
• Remote control of music;
• Bluetooth phantom power supply without wires;
• Wireless audio, USB and mini-jack inputs;
• 2 balanced microphone preamplifiers with low noise level;
• Stereolink in channel;
• Outputs can be switched to mono for distributed systems.

Important: The impact of sound accompaniment on attendees is hard to overestimate. Too dynamic music with a lot of frequency variation, can irritate or even anger players. Being in a state of excitement, the gamer may not react adequately to the additional stimulation of hearing. Music that is too quiet and melodic, and poorly audible in remote areas can bring on boredom and a desire to leave the casino.

Proper and even acoustics in all gaming rooms, a balanced, thematic playlist will help attract customers and create a gambling atmosphere.
