Multi-zone dining audio for Da's Lupo restaurant, Cologne
Location: Cologne, Germany
Installer: Starpoint
A Mediterranean restaurant spread across two floors required independent audio control across three distinct zones — dining room, bar and basement event space — each with fundamentally different acoustic demands and operating schedules. Starpoint specified a Zone 8 system with Cuboid speakers on both floors and a Sub 15 in the basement, controlled via ZonePad 4.
Hospitality
High-energy audio for Bloodline Gym, London's East End
Location: London, E5
Installer: Essex Sound and Light
One of the UK’s leading Muay Thai and kickboxing centres needed a system that could deliver high-energy sound on the main training floor while eliminating noise complaints from office suites above. Essex Sound and Light solved both problems with Cuboid 8 speakers — full-range impact without a subwoofer. Installed in four days. Video case study available.
Gym
Four-zone hospitality audio for the Fremantle Bar and Restaurant, Crowne Plaza Docklands
Location: London, E16
Installer: Middlesex Sound
A four-star IHG hotel required consistent, high-quality audio across four zones of a new Australasian-inspired bar and restaurant concept — meeting demanding aesthetic requirements while giving bar staff simple control including BT Sports integration and independent private dining room volume. 16 Cuboid 6 speakers, Zone 4, ZonePad control.
