WHD impresses with invisible sound systems for hotel rooms and wins LAN1 Hotspots as a client

by WHD sounds good on February 11, 2020

WHD announces a new partnership with WLAN hotspot provider LAN1 Hotspots. The central interface of this collaboration consists of innovative WHD audio solutions for hotels, which are characterized, among other things, by their individual operating options via Bluetooth. In cooperation with LAN1 Hotspots, WHD equipped hotel rooms of the NOVUM hotel brand "the niu" with invisible sound systems.

From South to North: New WHD Partnership in Hamburg

The long-standing trusting business relationship between the Hamburg experts LAN1 Hotspots and NOVUM Hospitality is now supplemented by innovative audio solutions from Southern Germany: WHD from Deisslingen, Baden-Württemberg, offers ready-to-use and user-oriented sound systems for hotels. In a first step, WHD equipped over 2000 hotel rooms of the NOVUM City-Hotels "the niu" with invisible sound systems. This space-saving audio technology offers guests individual sound in the hotel room and provides the host with new possibilities for brand communication, clear design, and easy handling. Even before the completion of the current project, WHD, LAN1 Hotspots, and NOVUM began planning further innovations in the hospitality segment, which will surprise hotel guests and create moments of well-being, and provide operators with added value and simpler handling.


"Already in the first meetings, we felt that our competencies complemented each other perfectly and that we shared the vision of technical innovation in audio solutions for hotel rooms."

- Stefan Huber, Managing Director WHD Deisslingen

Making things sound: The invisible sound system from WHD

The invisible sound system from WHD is an innovative audio solution that can be installed in a space-saving way, is individually operable, and features good sound quality and sound control options. Such a sound system consists of a Bluetooth receiver and two exciters, which are covertly installed in furniture and objects, for example, in the TV boards of "the niu" hotel rooms. Hotel guests stream music or radio via their preferred app from their smartphone or tablet directly and easily to the Bluetooth receivers of the sound systems, and the exciters make the respective material resonate. The equipment of each hotel room thus includes its own audio system, and the associated possibilities increase the sense of well-being and the quality of the respective stay.

"Always keeping an eye on the latest developments, we came across a sound system with innovative possibilities. This fit perfectly with one of our most demanding clients in the hotel industry: Novum Hospitality. The Novum Group stands for innovation and professional solutions and was quickly convinced by the completely thought-out invisible sound systems: The system requires no space as it is built into the wall and thus not accessible from the outside, preventing it from getting dirty or damaged. We can assign each room its own Bluetooth name and PIN, limit the maximum volume, and even choose an individual sound preset. The WHD employees supported us very well from the beginning – including on-site during the installation of the invisible sound system in sample rooms."

- Jörg Hümmer, Managing Director LAN1 Hotspots

Added value for the host: Brand communication, clear design and easy handling

The facility management of the respective hotel can make general default settings (sound presets) for the individual rooms via WHD's configuration app for the respective sound system, for example, regarding maximum volume and sound optimization. It is also possible to input the hotel name (naming), room number, and an access PIN for brand interaction with the guest. The design concept of the hotel room is not disturbed by visibly hanging or standing loudspeakers; both systems can be installed, maintained, and retrofitted quickly and easily. Furthermore, they are protected against theft and vandalism.

"Our guests can enjoy their own music through WHD's invisible sound system and feel right at home!"

- Martin Stegner, CIO Novum Hospitality
