Premium Bose Audio System Installation for Lot-25’s Cafe & Bar

Located in Willingham, Cambridge, Lot-25 is a stylish and high-end cafe, restaurant, and bar known for its elegant ambiance and high-quality service. As part of a recent renovation, Lot-25 sought an audio solution that would enhance their customer experience with clear, high-quality sound while complementing the unique aesthetics of the venue. They reached out to Audio Volt, ultimately selecting a premium yet compact Bose Professional Audio System designed to meet the demands of a busy hospitality environment.

Given the limited space, the system needed to be unobtrusive while providing top-tier audio performance. The goal was to deliver seamless audio coverage across both floors of the cafe, enabling consistent sound quality in every corner without disrupting the ambiance or aesthetic appeal. Reliability was also a crucial factor, ensuring staff could easily manage the system during peak hours.

Lot-25 consists of two primary areas:

• Ground Floor: Featuring the main seating area, tills, and kitchen, this floor required a sound solution that would be discreet yet effective, avoiding any visual clutter on the walls.
• Mezzanine Floor: With its pitched roof and additional seating, this level presented unique installation challenges, calling for a versatile solution that could adapt to the architectural features.

Installation Challenges and Solutions:

To maintain the visual appeal on the ground floor, Bose Professional FreeSpace FS2C ceiling speakers were installed. These compact speakers blend seamlessly into the ceiling and provide wide sound coverage without drawing attention. In contrast, the mezzanine required wall-mounted speakers due to the sloped ceiling. Here, the Bose Professional FreeSpace FS2SE wall speakers were the ideal choice, offering flexibility in placement and delivering the same premium sound quality. Both speaker models are known for their impressive clarity and reliability, perfect for a venue that demands high audio standards.
