The public and private bowling lanes, cocktail bar and authentic '50's-style, 200-cover diner/luncheonette are all served by audio visual systems designed by The Sound Division Group. Their integrated system is based around Harman Pro sound reinforcement products.
In Brick Lane there is a total of nine lanes (six on the ground floor, the remaining three forming a 1950's penthouse-style private lounge on the first floor), with a stylish drinking den specialising in classic American cocktails, pitchers and American beers and ales.
The interior concept was again devised by architect/designer Dan Evans, who has introduced a 20ft long copper bar counter running the entire length of the lanes, providing views through to the psychedelically lit bowling area beyond. Also for the first time the bar and lanes share the same space, providing an opportunity to create a live music performance area.
This will mark the next phase, and The Sound Division Group has already installed a 24-way analogue multicore as part of a site-wide cable network in anticipation of this.
Being able to adapt and scale the combination of JBL loudspeakers, Crown amplification and BSS Audio Soundweb DSP processing made the job simple for SDG, and working alongside an established contracting team, the fit-out task was straightforward. Said SDG's David Graham. "Under the joint project management of Jon Carey and Dean Osbourne and their installation team, everything felt very comfortable, while the back-up we received from Harman Pro's new distributors, Sound Technology was exceptional - the transition has been seamless."
