Weatherproof sound for Maré, Pine Cliffs Hotel
Located in southern Portugal, the Pine Cliffs Hotel is a luxury resort that is part of The Luxury Collection, a brand of Marriott International. This hotel complex offers a luxury experience that combines gastronomy, accommodation and a privileged natural environment. Its Maré restaurant, located facing the Atlantic, stands out for its open architectural design, designed to blend into the coastal landscape. This space presents a specific acoustic challenge: the need to ensure uniform coverage and clear sound in an open environment exposed to sun, humidity and salinity.
Juno series, professional outdoor audio system
To meet these requirements, JUNO-6T loudspeaker were selected, specifically designed for fixed installations both indoors and outdoors. This model incorporates a 6‘ midrange driver and a 1’ compression driver, mounted in a 90° x 60° waveguide, ensuring controlled dispersion and even coverage even in large areas.
The JUNO-6T loadspeaker offers a frequency response of 55 Hz to 20 kHz and a sensitivity of 89 dB (1W/1m), with a power rating of 80W RMS and 116 dB peak at maximum SPL, ensuring efficient and stable performance in hospitality environments.
Weather-resistant design
A decisive factor for this project was its IP46 rating, which protects against dust and water ingress. The full range loudspeaker is made of injection-molded plastic, with an aluminum grille coated with corrosion-resistant paint and an internal waterproof fabric. In addition, the UV-protected finish ensures durability in coastal areas such as the Algarve, where direct sunlight and salty air are constant.
Discreet integration
At Maré restaurant, the JUNO-6T units were installed in both open and semi-covered areas, ensuring uniform distribution without interfering with the restaurant’s aesthetics. Their compact size and the option of vertical or horizontal mounting make them easy to integrate visually into the space.
The system achieves clear vocal intelligibility, comfortable sound levels, and the robustness required to operate reliably during long hours in real environmental conditions. This installation confirms that the JUNO series is a dependable and efficient solution for hospitality and dining projects that demand durable, discreet, and high-quality outdoor sound systems.
