Speakers for Restaurant Live Sound System Please Help?




Siraskalot


I am currently opening up a restaurant and wanted to buy some good speakers to install. I I picked some JBL JRX family speakers and was told at Samash my local music store that the Electro Voice speakers are better. The room does not have a lot of people the max power it needs is 300w. Can you please tell me if the EV SB122 is a good sub (plan to have 2) and the SX300E ( plan to set 2 for monitors and hang to horizontally on the ceiling. Can you tell me if these are okay speakers. If not what would your recommendation be. If you do recommend speakers can you please recommend speaker from the same company and family. Thank you

Get in touch with Elemental Designs. This would not be there first store type install that they have done. They make speakers for all different types of applications, and there speakers are much better than that of BOSE and cost no where near what BOSE wants for their speakers. Here is there website, you can get their number from their website: http://www.edesignaudio.com/
They have done some restaurants and stores in the area that they are located in Iowa, very good speakers and subs. They make speakers and subs for car, and home audio. Give them a call.

Wall mounted speakers for small restaurant? Wall mounted or very small receiver?







Looking in to buying a speaker system for music in a 400-500 sq. ft. restaurant front. Most custom restaurant systems are way too powerful and large for the room. I am considering running a home audio system but there's something a little tacky about that.

So, are there wall mounted speaker systems that don't require a subwoofer? That cover a wide spectrum of sound but don't need any extra punch? We don't need to crank the music and want to be space efficient.

Is there such an item as a cool looking wall mounted receiver? And how small do receiver systems get now? I've been out of the audio loop for a for a while.

Will run music with AirPlay on iPad. Need system to be as wireless as possible. Thanks!

(is this tl;dr material here? new to answers)



Answer
I own a restaurant, first thing you want to avoid is wireless. Why? Good question. Unless your router or internet connection can stay connected and work 100% 24/7 without need of reboot, okay then that's fine. But as we all know, these things need to be rebooted now and then and that will interrupt your service. It's just bad and embarrassing to have music stop in the middle of a song. Depending on how many speakers you want, best thing is just use in-wall ceiling speakers to have a more integrated look. Receiver can be hidden almost anywhere.

The truth is any plain speaker is fine. No one will notice how bad your stereo sounds or even how it looks. Well maybe if you have a fine dining restaurant then you want something more elegant and hidden, but most people will not care or even comment, except for what's on your playlist.

If full size sound is what you want, you really can't deny physics. Small speakers definitely will not provide that without a subwoofer. If in-wall ceiling speakers is out of the question, and bookshelf speakers is too large..Just off the top of my head, perhaps you can get a small set of PC speakers that uses a power outlet for power and just hook up the 3.5m directly to your iPad / Airplay? Then you won't need receiver.

In my restaurant I use 2 cheap outdoor-like speakers I cant even remember the brand. But they hook onto the wall with supplied brackets, hooked up through a old Onkyo integrated amp, playing through a ipod touch. Hope this info helps!
