CHAPTER 2: Introduction to the HAL System Application Example - Hotel or Cruise Ship Guest Room This configuration works for private guest rooms in hotels, resorts, and cruise ships. The television line output connects to the rear of the RAD26, delivering better sound than the TV speakers. Inhouse video can deliver shows to guests, virtually expanding theater capacity to the entire ship or resort. A guest can easily plug a laptop, tablet or smartphone into the sound system, using a regular consumer stereo 3.5 mm line plug cable. On cruise ships, important messages from the captain must be heard in the room speakers. The volume control can be set for minimum and maximum levels so that important pages aren't missed, yet the guest is given volume control. The amp is in dual 4 W mode to drive the two ceiling speakers. Depending on source material and speaker locations, stereo TV audio can wire to the two line inputs, or as Line-Plus left and right sum to mono. If the TV is mono'ed, the other input could be a local talkback mic. When a guest's headphones are plugged in, the room speaker amplifiers can be optionally muted for the spouse to get some sleep. 35
