Restaurant Sound Systems for Indoor Spaces
Creating the perfect atmosphere for your restaurant or bar is more than just great food and service. The configuration of your sound system plays a critical role in producing the right ambiance and aesthetic to keep guests coming back again and again.
A well-designed commercial sound system can enhance your guests’ dining experience. The first step in designing your audio system is understanding the atmosphere and what kind of environment your facility requires. Do you require clear audio and microphones if guests need to hear their name after taking an order at the counter? Does your restaurant or bar welcome sports enthusiasts or is your restaurant a fine dining establishment that requires softer background music? More often than not, restaurants require zones for specific spaces between bars, dining areas and restrooms to account for unique volume controls and playlists.
Restaurant Sound Systems for Outdoor Spaces
Not all professional speakers, amplifiers and audio equipment are created equal. Because many restaurants and bars have both indoor and outdoor areas, there needs to be a distinction between the type of equipment used for each space. Outdoor areas need equipment that’s durable and weather-resistant, able to function properly in extreme heat, cold, rain or snow. It should be able to withstand wind, dust, salt air and even insects.
Take a look at this multi-zone sound system we designed and installed for Dink & Drink, a restaurant and bar with indoor and outdoor pickleball courts. They needed a sound system with unique volume control for each zone. We used the Klipsch PSM-525-T Surface Mount speakers, powered by an Altas DPA804 Power Amplifier, and Lowell volume control wall plates for the bar and restaurant areas, indoor courts and restrooms. This allowed their team at Dink & Drink to better manage audio based on the number of indoor courts in use, and throughout their dining areas.
To showcase this a bit further, we’re revisiting our work with Dink & Drink. Their outdoor pickleball courts and outdoor dining space needed a continuation of the multi-zone sound system in our restaurant AV install. We again used Klipsch PSM-525-T Surface Mount speakers for the outdoor courts.
