Adaptability to the environment and aesthetics

Holiday cruise ships give passengers the chance to enjoy a rock concert, a play or a soprano singing opera, among other activities. The best auditorium on land becomes a “floating” auditorium.

To the crossroads of connections typical of an auditorium, the difficulties of a maritime environment are added, and even more so if we are talking about a show that is going to take place outdoors on the deck of the ship.

Of course, the audiovisual boxes made for a cruise have to be kept in harmony with an elegant and careful aesthetic. The audiovisual integrator of a shipping company will demand that both the physical appearance of the audiovisual box, as well as its functionality and durability in a maritime environment, are very important aspects.

Main characteristics of AV boxes for cruises

AISI 316 certificate

Grade 316 stainless steel boxes are made from an alloy that contains molybdenum, among other elements. This element dramatically improves corrosion resistance, especially in saline environments.

IP67 tightness

The closed boxes maintain an IP67 grade tightness. The connectors often also include a cover to ensure this tightness individually in each audio connector, power, etc. This prevents the entry of water or dirt, which could deteriorate the connections and, consequently, signal transmission.

Connectors for saline environment

Audio connectors with optimal finishes to prevent salt corrosion, such as the gold pins used in XLR audio connectors.

Demanding finishes and aesthetics

For the audiovisual rooms inside the ship, paint finishes that simulate golden or silver surfaces, for example, can be requested.
