CASE STUDY
DOCK7 RESTAURANT + BREWERY
Requirement
Sited in a former warehouse on the banks of the Danube, DOCK7 in Bratislava, Slovakia serves good food and craft beers in an environment that combines modern design with references to the building’s industrial past.
Owners Medusa Restaurants required an audio system for DOCK7 which enhances the guest experience with high-quality background music without overpowering conversations.
Bratislava-based professional audio-visual specialist Optio s.r.o. secured the contract to design and install the audio system for DOCK7.
Solution
Installation project manager, Michal Kubinec led the system design for Optio s.r.o. Michal began by performing detailed acoustic modelling of the space using EASE 5 software to ensure seamless audio coverage throughout the venue.
AIR-C5 5.25″ point source loudspeakers from Ukrainian brand, MAG Audio were selected for their compact footprint and audio performance, supplemented by AIR-S26 double 6.5″ subwoofers which deliver the required low-end reinforcement in a visually discreet, low-profile format.
All loudspeakers are powered by a trio of APEX CloudPower CP354D amplifiers, each providing 4 x 350W. CloudPower’s onboard DSP toolkit of delays, PEQs, crossovers, and limiters was employed to achieve optimal loudspeaker performance and even coverage. Michal opted to manage signal routing over Dante for maximum flexibility and flawless audio distribution. Each CP354D features integral 4×4 Dante networking.
The resulting system fulfils the client’s aspirations, creating a balanced, engaging audio experience that elevates the atmosphere without being intrusive.
