Room with a view
France - At a height of 2,300m, the new Maya Altitude Restaurant is located in the popular ski area, Three Valleys, in the French Alps. Its terrace offers 360° views of the Belleville Valley and Mont Blanc. A newly-installed Nexo sound system provides music to drinkers and diners inside the venue and out by day, before stepping things up with a full DJ set for après skiers.
A system design using another speaker brand was already in existence before Monaco-based audio-visual consultants Mediacom suggested that a Nexo system could deliver higher performance at a lower cost.
“We worked with the Nexo engineering support team to design a system using ID24s supplemented by IDS110 subs inside the restaurant, and Nexo ID14 and P12s outside,” explains Mediacom’s Christophe Chary.
“With a sumptuous, Tibetan-themed décor, it was important that the speakers created a low visual impact, so the ultra-compact ID Series was perfect for the job. And the terrace can experience some extreme weather, so obviously an IP rating was essential.”
The system is powered by a rack of four NXAMP4X1MK2 and one NXAMP4X2MK2 compact, four-channel powered processors, with phase-coherent pre-sets for all Nexo speakers making it easy to configure a system combining ID and P+ series cabinets. The facility to quickly change the dispersion characteristics of the ID24s and P12s played a key role in ensuring consistent coverage of the 300-diner capacity venue, and a seamless listener experience when moving outside to the terrace.
“Despite the compact size, this is a system that delivers a real punch,” concludes Christophe. “Everyone from the restaurant management to the DJs is really happy with it.”
