ship’s Opal Theater, AquaTheater, Studio B and Royal Promenade to coordinate the various entertainment offerings for guests. With eight FreeSpeak wireless beltpacks, production managers are able to communicate freely with stage staff and video technicians on the system during the production and set changes for on-board musicals and similar shows. In addition, the crew connected Clear-Com’s V-Series panels to an Eclipse Median system and is using the panels throughout the ship’s major entertainment spaces. It is especially finding the “Listen Again” feature par- ticularly useful. With “Listen Again,” the V-Series panel’s digital memory can relay up to the last 10 messages or 30 seconds from an incoming call at a touch, ensuring that an assignment is never missed. Oasis of the Seas’ staff also selected the FreeSpeak system for its ability to stand up to the harsh weather on board. The staff was impressed by the equipment’s durability under such typical on-board conditions as high humidity and the constant blowing of salty sea air. Further, the system operates license-free in the 1.8-1.9 GHz frequency band, allowing the system to continue to perform even in the crowded RF environment on board and among PCs, talent microphones and other wireless systems.
“The FreeSpeak system combines the best of both worlds, sophisticated audio clar- ity and wireless interference resistance, in an extremely easy-to-use package,” says Karlie Miles, Director of Europe, Middle East and Africa Sales, Clear-Com. “We are excited that Royal Caribbean has had such a good experience with our equipment in the past that it commissioned us to provide our FreeSpeak system for its biggest

ship yet. We look forward to continuing to work with Royal Caribbean in the future.” In addition to Clear-Com’s FreeSpeak base station and beltpacks, Oasis of the Seas also uses the Eclipse PiCo digital matrix intercom system, the IMF-3 interface module frame and the CCI-22 digital matrix intercom interface module, providing a seamless entertainment experience for all cruise-goers on board.
LIGHTING
Christopher Vlassopulos affirmed lighting’s important role as a design element aboard Oasis. “With seven themed zones and 50-plus venues featuring state-of- the-art technologies for entertainment, we paid very close attention to both architec- tural and show lighting design,” the Royal Caribbean designer said. The lighting spec includes ETC, Martin Professional, Barco, Philips Color Kinetics, e:cue, Osram, Traxon, and as mentioned in the Allure of the Seas article, Acclaim and Elation products.
Explaining why Elation products were chosen to light Oasis of the Seas, Vlassopu- los said: “The ship is 24/7, multipurpose and multi-use, running 12 hours a day or more. You need things that are compact and reliable. We choose the best products for our specific needs, and have a good relationship and solid history of support (with Elation) that’s very important to Royal Caribbean.” The majority of lights used aboard Oasis are LED fixtures. Because Elation offers a wide range of versatile LED-powered entertainment, architectural, and IP-rated outdoor products, it was easy to find the right light for the ship’s every need. For
