Austria - High in the Austrian Alps, nestled amidst breathtaking scenery, lies Onkel Willy's Hutte. This Alpine restaurant and ski hut is more than just a venue for traditional Austrian food and stunning views, it’s also a party haven. The sound system was crucial to achieve their goal of the best view, culinary and music experience, which is why they chose Void Acoustics.
The venue needed a powerful sound system capable of filling the outdoor space and withstanding the harsh Alpine climate. Freezing winter temperatures presented unique installation challenges for the speakers in the outdoor dining areas, as did the limited electrical supply up in the mountains.
Alongside the outdoor speaker challenge, the venue’s indoor spaces also needed a sound system capable of creating the perfect atmosphere for diners.
Musikuss Tonkultur, Void's official distributor in Austria, recommended a combination of products from the Air, Venu, Stasys, Indigo, and Cyclone ranges to deliver a sound system that could be customised for the indoor and outdoor spaces.
The Cyclone series is a popular solution for outdoor spaces due to its compact size and weather-protected IP55 rating. The Cyclone series is used in the outdoor terrace space at Onkel Willy’s Hutte, cutting through the open-air environment of the Austrian Alps with crisp, clean audio. Air Vantage and Stasys 218 speakers are also installed around the outdoor section, whilst the Indigo Pro and Venu speakers inside the hut offer visitors exceptional sound quality and a striking design.
This setup delivers on the venue’s DJ requirements for peak-season events. When the hut needs to crank up the volume, it includes a set of easy-to-install Airten V3 and Venu 215 speakers that they bring out for larger events. Housing up to 400 people at max capacity, the wide range of Void speakers powering the dancefloor has made Onkel Willy’s Hutte a must-hear experience for resort visitors.
Onkel Willy's Hutte has become the go-to spot on the slopes, attracting more visitors and solidifying its reputation as an apres-ski destination. The current Void Acoustics sound system has been so successful that Onkel Willy’s Hutte already have plans to add more to the current setup.
