Cloud system installed in Monica’s Mere
- Details
London based specialist AV integrators Sound Division were originally called in during late 2016, after being recommended to Mere’s owners, to design an audio-visual solution for the new restaurant. Installation of the solutions recommended by Sound Division followed, with the new restaurant and bar opening in 2017, Sound Division opting to use Cloud Electronics products for the restaurant and bar’s audio requirements.
David Graham, managing director for Sound Division comments, “We are pleased to have been invited by Mere’s owners to provide a high-quality audio-visual solution for the restaurant’s staff and diners. Knowing Monica’s reputation for her eye for detail, we opted to use a discrete and high-quality audio solution from UK manufacturer Cloud Electronics.”
At the heart of the audio system is a Cloud DCM-1 Digital Control Mixer with audio outputs to Cloud CXV225 and Cloud CXA450 amplifiers. These provide power to a number of Cloud ceiling and surface-mount speakers across six audio zones. Source selection and localised volume controls are provided via the DCM-1 with Cloud CDR-1 flush-mounted control panels discretely positioned in convenient locations.
“Localised volume and source selection controls allow key-staff to adjust volume levels and change audio sources at positions around the restaurant and bar areas, if required, rather than needing to head back to the main control unit. This saves time and adds convenience,” adds Graham.
In addition to the audio system, Sound Division installed a large-format flush-mount Samsung display in the private dining room at Mere, with a live-video link to the chef’s pass in the kitchen, allowing diners to see dishes being prepared prior to arrival at the table.
“Sound Division has been fortunate to work with a number of prestigious venues across London since the company formation in 1990. This is the third restaurant in Charlotte Street alone where we have been called in. We regularly opt to use products from Cloud Electronics for these high-end projects as we know the Cloud products offer high-quality, reliability and dependability, values important to us and our clients.” concludes Graham.
