[55] Bosch Praesideo Boards Carnival Ships Bosch Praesideo public address system was recently installed on Carnival Cruise Line’s ship Carnival Triumph by Harbour Marine Systems (Miami, FL); Carnival has since chosen to retrofit all its ships with Praesideo. Mauro Jacobellis of Harbour Marine Systems explains, “Praesideo fully complies with every rule and regulation set down by maritime authorities. In our business, we have specific issues to address—for example, our client needed a public address system approved for ship use (for insurance purposes), and we needed to replace our previous system quickly in the dry dock, because the ship can’t sail if the system isn’t working. We always try to get the most direct replacement for a ship’s current system, and Praesideo amplifiers matched our previous amplifiers very closely.” According to Jacobellis, the biggest factor Carnival considered when looking for a replacement PA system was ease of use. “The Praesideo system must play many roles,” Jacobellis continues. “On the Carnival Triumph, the public address system is installed in a central location that distributes signals to call stations in every area of the ship. There are multiple stations on the bridge, in the purser’s office, the cruise director’s cabin, and engine control room, all of which handle every type of communication. The Praesideo system provides coverage to the entire ship, delivering any kind of message quickly and clearly. Jacobellis reports, “Carnival has given us very positive feedback. The MIAMI, FL—A s t a ff a n d c re w h a v e s o many more options with Praesideo, and so much more control over where they want their announcements to go. It’s much less Harbour Marine Systems (Miami, FL) recently installed a Bosch Praesideo public address system on Carnival Cruise Line’s ship Harbour Marine Systems .

Because it’s hooked up to a computer, it’s very easy to see any faults in the lines or who made what calls where in case of an incident. The logging features are fantastic.” Bosch Communications www.boschcommunications.us THE PRICE OF FAME IS FALLING Adamson Jazzes Up Domicil Club MUNICH, GERMANY—Named one of the top 100 jazz clubs in the world by Downbeat magazine, Domicil Jazz Club recently updated its audio system with an Adamson SpekTrix Series.
