Introduction:

Liquid Automation proudly delivered an elegant and fully integrated entertainment and presentation system for SKYCITY’s Grand Boutique Lounge. Designed for both sophistication and ease of use, the solution discreetly blends high-performance AV with intuitive control, elevating the guest experience in the Club Lounge, Lounge Deck, and Restaurant areas. Our design focuses on premium audio-visual performance, flexible event support, and a seamless aesthetic that complements the luxurious atmosphere of this iconic venue.

System Components:

The system combines best-in-class components for reliability and performance:

• Motorised recessed projector screens and lifts ensure that equipment remains hidden when not in use.

• High-powered recessed ceiling speakers deliver clear, immersive audio.

• A centralised AV matrix routes sources to multiple zones with minimal user input.

• Portable wireless PA systems expand audio reach for special events.

• A full set of system drawings, cable schedules, and easy-to-follow user sheets were provided to ensure smooth handover and ongoing operation.

Audio-Visual System:

Guests and staff enjoy a discreet yet powerful AV system:

• Motorised 130” recessed projector screen and high-definition 4000 lumen projector in the Club Lounge.
