How to Outfit a Commercial Sound System for your Restaurant on Pro Acoustics Tech Talk Episode 86

www.proacousticsusa.com​​
Whether it’s in a restaurant, bar, fast-food chain, cafe, bistro, grill, steakhouse, or sports bar, sound systems greatly enhance your customers' mealtime experience. In this video, Nathan talks about outfitting a restaurant with the best commercial sound system for your application, layout, and needs.
Restaurant sound systems can be designed for simple background or high-powered foreground music, paging, multiple zone coverages, challenging open ceilings, and more. It all depends on your space and the needs of your business. Here are a few things to consider and the staple audio equipment required.
- How much coverage is needed?
- What speaker type and how many?
- Choosing an amplifier or mixer-amplifier
- Do you need paging capabilities?
- Would you like wall volume controls?

This was very informative, as one who develops restaurants. Thank you

Our pleasure!

I have a question… what if you want a 70v system with multiple zones. Not just multiple zones but multiple sources. Also to be able to change the source from the band, to the tv, to the music. Also what if you want to be able to change the source by the wall volume control?

[@ProAcoustics]

Hi Louis, For multiple audio source zones, you can use a multi-zone amplifier or mixer/amp. This is briefly discussed here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/kHWnmpmjaLKdmqc, and we go more in-depth on multi-zone systems in this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/i5jbgpZvjbKsrNE. Wall volume controls are also briefly discussed here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/kHWnmpmjaLKdmqc, and go into more detail about them in this older video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bKSmimuNZdyApcU. I hope this is helpful. If you have more questions, please reach out at 888-256-4112 or email [e-mail].

I have a question. I do live music guitar and singing in a huge restaurant and they want the music everywhere. Is this the right speaker for guitar singer or we should have different speakers?

[@ProAcoustics]

Hi there, If you are always playing at the same restaurant and they would like to have a permanently installed sound system, then many of the speaker options shown in this video could be a good fit.

I am opening a small 170 Square metre cafe, with a 30 square meter outdoor patio. I have the people to install it, and all the cabling can be done easily. Which audio equipment would you suggest for this cafe? I prefer wired, as he is wiring for free. HUGE help if you could help me out with this :)))))
