Marco Island Marriott Beach Resort

Audio Design Challenge

The largest resort on Marco Island, Florida, this Marriott luxury property includes restaurants, retail shops, pools and activity areas on more than three miles of beach. Marco Island Marriott needed a commercial sound system that enabled guests to enjoy sound wherever they are, indoors or outdoors, throughout the property – all from a background sound system that blends into the Balinese beauty of the resort.

Audio Design Solution

An audio design team from Muzak and Bose® used a series of FreeSpace® 360P II in-ground loudspeakers both indoors and outdoors. The innovative design of the loudspeaker disperses sound evenly both vertically and horizontally, so listeners can hear sound whether they are sitting or standing in outdoor event spaces, lobby and pool areas, shops and restaurants. And the variety of speaker types in the FreeSpace® system allowed the sound system to virtually disappear no matter where the speakers were placed.

The Result

“Wherever you go on the property, you’re hearing quality sound, and that’s contributing to the complete experience we want to create here for our guests. And all you’re noticing is the sound. You don’t see equipment and speakers everywhere.” Rick Medwedeff, General Manager
