PPDS Adds New Philips Professional Soundbar to the Family for Cinematic Audio Experiences
HDL410 audio conferencing system features new camera zones
Extending PPDS' family of in-room entertainment, the new Philips Professional Soundbar
with a
powerful built-in subwoofer, has been designed and configured exclusively for Philips MediaSuite
TVs, delivering more powerful and immersive audio and entertainment hotel room experiences.
PPDS announced the launch of the powerful two in one Philips Professional Soundbar HAL5023
with
built-in subwoofer, designed for Philips MediaSuite TVs.
Continuing PPDS' accelerated 'total solutions' strategy, the new Philips Professional Soundbar
combined with Philips MediaSuite - the world's most advanced dedicated hotel TV - delivers the
industry's ultimate audiovisual experience, transforming hotel guest rooms into highly immersive
cinematic experiences.
Designed and built in collaboration with TP Vision's Philips Audio team the slick and stylish
trapezoid-design (W70 x D12 x H7cm) Philips Professional Soundbar features a professional 2.1
channel setup, with an output power of 200 W max / 100 W RMS (10% THD), bringing crystal clear audio
performance. The built in subwoofer adds an extra punch, immersing guests even deeper into the
action.
Suite sound installations
Back-end controls through Philips MediaSuite TVs also allow for specific configurations to be put in
place, including volume limits, ensuring surrounding rooms are not impacted or disturbed.
Designed for fast and effortless installation, the freestanding or wall mountable (brackets included
as standard) Philips Professional Soundbar can be easily configured using the professional setup
menu on the Philips MediaSuite TV. All related settings can be quickly and efficiently copied and
transferred to the entire TV fleet remotely through cloning via PPDS CMND, saving significant
installation times and costs.
Controlling your experience
Removing the need for multiple controllers, the Philips Professional Soundbar can be controlled
using the standard Philips MediaSuite TV remote. Alternatively, the Philips Soundbar can double as a
high-end speaker system for guests wishing to play their preferred music, podcasts, and radio
stations via apps and accounts on their own personal devices. This can be achieved either through
Bluetooth or via Philips MediaSuite's inclusive Chromecast built-in technology.
With security a key feature on Philips MediaSuite TVs - and all PPDS solutions - all customer data,
including Bluetooth pairing information from personal devices, is immediately cleared upon check out
from the hotel.
Conforming with Philips MediaSuite's impressive, near cable-free presentation, the Philips
Professional Soundbar also comes equipped with a custom-designed power cable adapter, enabling it to
be powered via a single power socket, shared with the TV. An anti-theft cable to help prevent
unauthorised removal of the device is also included.
Jeroen Verhaeghe, Global Business Development Director Hospitality, commented, "Philips
MediaSuite
was designed to enhance and, in many aspects, reinvent the hotel room experience, accommodating all
the features and services guests are accustomed to in their own homes, within the hotel room. With a
long-term commitment to offering Chromecast built-in technology, together with unrivalled
relationships with streaming giants, such as Netflix, we've revolutionised the way people can access
and enjoy their favourite movies and shows on the road. Today, we're providing the opportunity for
hoteliers to take that experience to the next level, with the Philips Professional Soundbar."
Jan van Hecke, Global Product Manager Professional TV, added, "With today's announcement, the
industry's most advanced professional TV solution has just been given the perfect upgrade with even
greater, more powerful sounding audio. With Philips Professional Soundbar, the in-room experience,
for many, can now surpass that enjoyed at home, changing guests' perceptions of hotels, and helping
to ensure positive reviews and repeat business."
