Powersoft audio systems for adriatic cruise ship

Based in Croatia, the MS My Wish offers a deluxe, intimate experience for its 38 guests. With an advantage due to its a smaller, yacht-like size, the ship can navigate narrow waterways and explore not only Croatia’s cities but also its smaller, quieter islands hardly explored by bigger vessels.

The MS My Wish boasts an onboard restaurant, a sundeck, a rooftop hot tub, a swimming platform for access to the Adriatic ocean, and an audio system comprising Mezzo 324 A and Mezzo 604 A models from Powersoft’s Mezzo series.

The Mezzo install amplifiers come with built-in DSP. There are two power sizes with a two or four-channel output. The Mezzo, in its smaller versions, is a sealed design and approved for hidden placement, such as mounted above a ceiling or tucked into a wall box.

“The ship required an audio system that could be spread over twelve zones and could be adjusted accordingly”, says Captain Marin Crncic of the MS My Wish. “One of the most demanding areas is the sun deck, which uses two subwoofers, six ceiling all-weather speakers and two professional two-ways for the jacuzzi.”

The system needed to allow for alternative audio content, accommodating the different zones where audio was required, such as the main saloon, lounge, and two rear decks. Audiotehnika chose to go with a Wi-Fi controlled system, meaning that crew members on the ship could monitor the system regardless of location and, if need be, change the audio.

“The speakers can play a variety of audio - CDs, USB and radio - and can be played in each zone independently, which was a key part of the design”, says Crncic. “It allows us to tailor the music to different areas of the ship.” The audio design also allows for microphone input. In the five main zones of the ship, the crew can plug in a microphone and make announcements or provide tourist information.
