The Mix

COMPANY: NEXO LOCATION: Marrakech, Morocco

Located in the heart of Marrakech and with a DJ booth situated in the middle of the room, the motto of restaurant-cum-club The Mix is ‘come for the food, stay for the mood’.

Evening diners become late night dancers and enjoy myriad musical styles delivered in pristine sound quality by a NEXO P+ Series system. With a vision for a restaurant with music in its DNA, venue owners approached Casablanca-based sound, light and video technology specialists Smart AV to design and install a sound system that could shift gears seamlessly from background music to powerful, floor-filling sound in the night time.

Working in collaboration with NEXO’s Engineering Support Team, a NEXO P+ Series point source system was configured using NEXO NS-1 software to predict coverage in the venue.

Xu Restaurant Lounge and Cocktail Bar

COMPANY: HARMAN Professional Solutions LOCATION: Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam

Established in 2005, Xu Restaurant Lounge and Cocktail Bar is an iconic social gathering place located in the center of Ho Chi Minh City. During the COVID pandemic its owners took the downtime as an opportunity to upgrade their sound system, and they enlisted Phuc Giang to provide a state-of-the-art JLB system, utilising EON-powered speakers and subwoofers.

Staff at the venue requested a seamless and easy-to-use system that would deliver clear and balanced audio in all areas of the restaurant, and to achieve this, Phuc Giang installed JBL EON 612 loudspeakers accompanied by JBL IRX 115S subwoofers.

Phuc Giang also included a Soundcraft Ui24R wireless tabletbased mixing console.

Staff reported that the stage’s new JBL-powered sound system produces impeccable sound quality that is clear, energetic and vibrant. They added that the new sound system brings out strong performances from DJs and musicians alike.

“Being a hotspot in Ho Chi Minh City, Xu Restaurant Lounge and Cocktail Bar required superior audio solutions to offer elevated one-of-a-kind sound experiences,” said G Amar Subash, VP & GM, HARMAN Professional Solutions, APAC. “We would like to thank Phuc Giang for their customer-focused approach in understanding the unique requirements of the venue and providing an optimal easy-to-use system that has been expertly designed and successfully executed.” http://pro.harman.com

Four NEXO P12 loudspeakers and four L15 subs are installed in the main room, with amplification from NEXO NXAMP4X1MK2 powered controllers. The centrally located bar is equipped with two NEXO P8s. “The P12 is the perfect system for this type of venue, thanks to its compact size and shape, and its high sound pressure level,” said Smart AV owner Franck Bessol. “It’s also very quick and easy to install, which was greatly appreciated by the client.”

Commenting on behalf of NEXO, Sales Manager for France and North Africa Jean-Jacques Vias said: “NEXO has earned a global reputation for its compact, point source loudspeakers. With its variable dispersion characteristics, coaxial driver configuration and curved cabinets, the P+ Series delivers a perfect balance of stunning performance and looks.” www.nexo-sa.com
