Music can enhance the ambiance in a restaurant or bar. Without music playing in the background, the place can feel dull and unremarkable for the diners. Of course, the food and drinks are the stars of the show, but music can add a second layer to the people’s experience in your restaurant, making them come back for more.
That said, you should carefully design the sound system in your establishment. Here are three sound system essentials that restaurants and bars should have.
1. Multi-Zone Audio Setup
The layout of your restaurant may be simplistic, or it may consist of different areas catering to certain preferences. That said, your audio and soundscapes should match the spaces, whether it’s a loud bar area, a quieter main seating area or a private party room. A multi-zone audio setup allows you to manage and control the volume and media in these spaces. You can change songs if a guest has a request or put on a new playlist in a specific area. Alternatively, you can play the same song throughout the building but at different volume levels to match the ambiance of every location.
2. Professionally Installed Speakers
Ensure your speaker placement and installment benefits each guest. Work closely with professionals to help you determine the number of speakers needed to evenly distribute high-end audio throughout your restaurant. They will also ensure proper angling and balanced coverage so that your speakers will deliver clear audio that everyone can enjoy.
3. Centralized Control
A Universal Remote Control (URC) system makes it easier to control your audio system since you can view all your zones and change media and volume levels from one place. It’s important for the sound system to be accessible to employees, so they can easily change playlists and adjust volume without getting distracted from serving customers.
