Paris Hotel & Casino Opts for Distributed 1 SOUND Audio System

	"The Level 35s fit in between the decor," Mannarino says. "The SUB28s are able to hide behind different machines and furniture."

Following a major renovation at Caesars Palace, Caesars Entertainment has installed a modern audio system at Paris Las Vegas. Having requested to hear 1 SOUND specifically, Caesars Entertainment was introduced to Global AV Group, who partnered with 1 SOUND to design and integrate a distributed audio solution tailored to the property's unique architectural and operational requirements.

The existing system had served the property for decades, but Caesars wanted to create a more engaging environment that matched the venue's energy while maintaining clarity throughout the expansive space.

"The system at Paris Hotel had probably been in use for about 30 years," explains Jason Ojeda of Global AV Group. "After the renovation at Caesars Palace, the team really wanted to engage the customer in a different experience with high-level, high-impact audio."

Before finalizing the design, Global AV Group was asked to showcase an approach in an on-site loudspeaker shootout, bringing a custom-finished 1 SOUND Level 35 to compete against an alternative solution already under consideration. Through the 1 SOUND Custom Shop, Global AV Group provided the extra detail, finishing the Level 35 to match the surrounding aesthetic; 1 SOUND provided a color match and the custom loudspeaker within a week.

"We chose the Level 35 because it fit the columns perfectly," Ojeda says. "Once we got one in the air for the demonstration and with the sound and the aesthetic, the decision was pretty much made." That successful test run became the foundation for the property's new audio strategy.

The casino floor presented several acoustic challenges. Large open areas, decorative columns, and expansive dome ceilings required a system capable of delivering intelligibility and impact. Using Auralis acoustical modeling software, Global AV Group developed a distributed design centered around 1 SOUND's Level Series loudspeakers and subwoofers. The system was designed to keep sound close to guests rather than relying on loudspeakers mounted high above the floor.

"The progressive horn really mattered," Ojeda says. "It helped provide intelligibility throughout the entire casino floor."

According to 1 SOUND founder and chief designer Lou Mannarino, the Level Series was uniquely suited for the project because of its progressive horn design and ability to provide long throw distances while remaining visually discreet. "The asymmetrical horn and deployment really enable the throw quite far," he says. "We're getting 40' to 50' and then opening up softly around the columns. That's how we're achieving the sound we're after."

The final deployment incorporates Level 35 and Level 38 loudspeakers, Cannon C6 loudspeakers, SUB28 subwoofers, and WSUB45i wall subwoofers in a system tailored to the different needs of the casino floor, hospitality areas, and retail environments throughout the property.

Level 35 loudspeakers and SUB28 subwoofers are utilized throughout the casino floor and lobby. In higher-energy areas such as the property's main bar, Level L38 loudspeakers provide additional output; wall-mounted subwoofers deliver low-frequency support where floor-space constraints limited traditional subwoofer placement.

"The Level 35s fit in between the decor," Mannarino says. "The SUB28s are able to hide behind different machines and furniture."

Beyond the gaming floor, the project extends into Le Boulevard, Paris Las Vegas' collection of boutiques, restaurants, and cafes. Cannon loudspeakers are deployed throughout the retail promenade, creating a consistent audio experience as guests move between shopping, dining, and gaming environments.

From the moment visitors enter the property, the audio experience remains cohesive and uninterrupted, the company says, helping establish a unified atmosphere throughout the resort. "We designed a high-fidelity music playback system," Ojeda says. "We designed a high-energy music playback system with 60 subwoofers on the property."

"That system has been running efficiently since we installed it," Ojeda adds. "We've had not one phone call to come back, and everything is running as perfectly as designed. The success of the project was so great that the Paris team has asked us to come back and redo the entire cabaret space using 1 SOUND." That next phase will take place at Paris Las Vegas' Le Cabaret Lounge.
