Sono Grill returns to bet on the sound of Bose for his restaurant in Artz Pedregal

The decoration of this place, located in Mexico City, includes brick walls, huge windows, planters with natural plants and ceilings with different wooden structures. Between these elements have been installed 13 EdgeMax EM180 speakers and five MB210 subwoofers.

Located in the luxurious shopping center Artz Pedregal of Mexico City, the restaurant Sonora Grill Prime combines premium cuts of meat, great service, comfortable spaces, a pleasant musical selection and an optimal sound.

For its architectural concept, this restaurant required an audio system that offered great coverage and sound power, and to be mixed with its modern design.

To meet these needs, the integrator Plánica AudioVideo decided to use the technology of Bose Professional as an audiovisual solution. specifically, EdgeMax speakers have been installed, in conjunction with the compact MB210 subwoofers, a ControlSpace ESP-880A processor and a pair of PowerMatch PM8500 amplifiers.

For nine years, Plánica has designed and integrated audiovisual systems in more than 30 restaurants of this Mexican gastronomic group, using Bose Professional equipment in all of them. According to Gustavo Bruce, Plánica Engineering Manager, the concept of Sonora Grill maintains its essence as a pleasant steakhouse with a lot of style, but it has evolved and, now, greater emphasis is placed on the image of restaurants, its lighting and interior design.

"The Sonora Grill experience includes good music and high-quality audio, but now the architects request that the installation of the speakers be as discreet as possible, with the challenge of maintaining power, sharpness and sound coverage that is required to create the atmosphere that the public seeks when visiting them", explains Gustavo Bruce.

The Sonora Grill Prime restaurant by Artz Pedregal, opened in the middle of 2019, is very broad, it has a couple of large rooms with dozens of tables, bar area and a private lounge.

The decoration includes brick walls, huge windows, planters with natural plants and ceilings with different wooden structures. And among all these elements, Plánica located 13 EdgeMax EM180 speakers and five compact MB210 subwoofers, equipment that overcomes the challenge posed by the architects responsible for the project.

"The EdgeMax series met the demands of power and coverage presented to us by Sonora Grill Prime at Artz Pedregal. We used few speakers and distributed them so that they covered as much space as possible, since when the restaurant is full a higher level of sound pressure is required, especially during the evenings when the atmosphere becomes more festive", comments Gustavo.
EdgeMax speakers are designed for ceiling or ceiling mounting and feature patented Bose PhaseGuide technology, providing extensive sound coverage to fill the space in which they are installed and improve overall sound quality.

EdgeMax EM180 provides nominal horizontal coverage of 180°, so it is better to install it to ceiling, near the wall boundaries, or centered along coverage areas.

"Due to the sound dispersion of edgemax speakers, it's hard to see where the sound is coming from, so it feels like it's part of the overall environment., which contributes to generate a comprehensive experience", adds Gustavo Bruce. "The difference in sound pressure is very little noticeable, no matter if you're under the speaker or six feet away. You don't have to turn up the volume of the music too much, which makes people feel comfortable and able to talk without having to raise their voices..

In the private lounge, which is usually rented for business meetings or different celebrations, Plánica installed a video screen, FreeSpace speakers and a ControlSpace CC-16 zone controller to facilitate the presentation of different audiovisual content.

Like the rest of the restaurants in the group, Sonora Grill Prime by Artz Pedregal has a dj booth that is responsible for mixing music every night. This is equipped with a versatile compact speaker S1 Pro from Bose Professional, in your DJ monitor app.

The Bose Professional system is complemented by three FreeSpace DS16F speakers, two FreeSpace DS40F, a FreeSpace DS40SE, two FreeSpace satellites 3, a Panaray MB4 modular bass speaker and an Acustimass FreeSpace bass module 3 to reinforce the sound in some specific areas, in addition to a ControlSpace CC-64 control center to operate the ControlSpace ESP-880A processor.
