Purchased from Shure Distribution UK, the AD-S52s are fed from background hard drive computer by day and live DJ playback sources after dark. Each of the restaurant's four zones is addressed by a single channel of a four-channel QSC CX254 amplifier, which occupies just 2U of rack space. Two AD-S52 enclosures are located in the main restaurant, with a further two in the conservatory, two in the smaller restaurant area and two in the bar. The final pair are installed upstairs and run on an independent system.
Project Audio's Dave Findlay, who was introduced to the AD-S52s at last year's PLASA Show, believes he is the first person to install them in the UK. Commenting on the project, he said: "I really had no hesitation. They sound bright and have enormous flexibility, since they can be décor matched and used both inside and out. Being a resort island there is a lot of al fresco activity here."
