Challenge

Complete AV system replacement following restaurant reconstruction and concept change. Dual-purpose venue required systems for regular operation plus capability to host private events without equipment rental. Two independent zones with different requirements – main dining hall and VIP room – each demanding tailored solutions while maintaining unified control interface.

Solution

Main Hall: Installed Martin Audio ceiling commercial systems with QSC ceiling subwoofers for extended range and premium sound quality – subwoofers essential for high-end commercial installations to achieve comfortable, refined audio that increases bar sales. Added separate MXlab active column system to create traditional event stage capability.

VIP Room: Due to low ceilings, installed specialized Klipsch angled ceiling speakers with QSC in-ceiling subwoofers, creating high-quality stereo system functioning both as background audio and external TV sound system.

Event Production: Integrated DMX controlled lighting, professional odorless hazer with safe fluid, LED screen (1.57mm pixel pitch, 16:9 format), Yamaha DM3 digital mixer, Resolume Arena video software, Feelworld video mixer, and Sunlite Suite 2 lighting control. Complete zone management via QSC MPM80 paging mixer with intuitive smartphone control.

Results

Restaurant gained entirely new capabilities and elevated guest comfort level. New AV system immediately attracted event organizer interest. Main hall ceiling system delivers uniform coverage ensuring consistent sound quality for every guest throughout space. Venue now hosts events including corporate functions and live concerts without requiring additional equipment rental.
