A cruise ship presents a unique set of challenges for sound... from open-air pools and entertainment spaces to intimate dining areas, every environment has different requirements for coverage, placement and durability.
On board Star Navigator, part of the StarCruises fleet, d&b Y-Series and xS-Series systems provide sound across a range of the ship’s leisure and entertainment spaces.
The Palace Suite pool features Y12 loudspeakers with Yi subwoofers and 8S delays, while the Rome-themed swimming pool combines 12S, 5S and 8S loudspeakers. Additional 8S and 12S with Bi6 subwoofers support the Seafood Grill and helipad.
Being out at sea, the environment matters just as much as the application. Seawater Resistance (SWR) versions provide additional protection against salt spray and humidity, helping the systems withstand the demands of long-term marine operation.
The result is a flexible d&b solution designed around the very different spaces found across this 268-metre cruise ship 🙌
