Biamp, a leading provider of professional audiovisual solutions, announced the successful deployment of a comprehensive audio system at One & Only Kéa Island, a luxury resort located on the Greek island of Kéa. Designed to complement the resort’s refined aesthetic while delivering exceptional sound quality, the Biamp solution provides seamless, independent audio control across a wide range of indoor and outdoor guest spaces.
One & Only Kéa Island required a flexible, future-ready audio system capable of supporting diverse environments throughout the property, from tranquil spa areas to vibrant social spaces, without compromising design intent. The solution needed to deliver consistent performance, intuitive operation for staff, and ease of managing multiple zones.
“Luxury environments constantly evolve, and the systems behind them need to evolve just as seamlessly,” said Joe Andrulis, Executive Vice President of Corporate Development at Biamp. “The flexible, networked architecture deployed at One & Only Kéa Island gives the resort the control it needs today, with the confidence to scale and adapt in the future.”
To meet these requirements, the resort implemented a distributed, multi-zone Audio-over-IP architecture based on the Dante protocol, enabling reliable digital audio transport across the resort’s fiber- and copper-based network infrastructure. At the core of the system is the Tesira digital signal processing platform, which provides centralized control while allowing decentralized amplification and processing to support scalability and future expansion.
Discreet Desono loudspeakers were selected to deliver balanced, high-quality audio throughout guest areas while blending seamlessly into the resort’s architecture. With an IP64 rating, the loudspeakers are well-suited for both indoor and outdoor environments, ensuring consistent performance across the property. Apprimo touch panels provide intuitive, user-friendly control, allowing resort staff to easily manage audio sources and volume levels in different zones based on operational needs.
The system supports independent audio streams for individual areas, enabling tailored soundscapes for spaces such as the lobby, spa, pool, and dining venues. Live audio sources, including microphones and Bluetooth inputs, can be shared as needed, while paging and emergency announcements are always prioritized to ensure clear communication across the resort.
By combining networked audio distribution, flexible DSP, and discreet loudspeaker design, the Biamp solution delivers a refined, immersive audio experience that enhances the guest journey while supporting the resort’s operational efficiency.
