The refitted licensed grill restaurants in both Leeds and Stevenage have a predominantly New York Bronx theme with bright graffiti décor. Each outlet also features a smaller eating area with a more sumptuous ambience and a clever backlit system on the main windows portrays a New York skyline. Owner of B&S Sound and Light, Billy Gillbanks, explained: "Good quality audio reproduction was a prerequisite for the sound system which provides music at various levels throughout the day."
The Leeds branch uses Tannoy i5MPs, a fully active loudspeaker which allows volume levels to be individually set and adjusted for various areas within the restaurant. Fixed easily to a wall or ceiling with a yoke bracket, the compact size of the i5MP allows discreet installation. The larger Stevenage site utilizes a wider selection of products - i5MP, the more powerful i8MP with its twin 90W amplifier and Dual Concentric driver, and Tannoy VS15BP band pass subwoofers.
