Five & Dime - Superb Sound and Sunsets for Kolkata Diners


Yamaha's audio solution was installed at Five & Dime, Kolkata keeping the venue's vibrant décor in mind


Five & Dime is a vibrant rooftop lounge and restaurant in Salt Lake, Kolkata, India, giving customers the opportunity to enjoy high quality food, drink, and entertainment with great sunset views. Yamaha audio system ensured all enjoy an enhanced dining experience at Five & Dime.

The challenge

Mr Mrinmoy Sanyal of systems integrator, The Four Pillars, was commissioned to design and install a system which would cover the whole of Five & Dime's indoor and outdoor areas with high quality sound.

The indoor space has high ceilings and a stage for live and DJ performances, while outdoors the equipment had to be resistant to dust and adverse weather. It was also important that the system did not visually detract from the venue's vibrant décor.

The solution

Yamaha solution was chosen, thanks to its exceptional audio quality and reliability, as well as meeting the client's demands for coverage and visual appearance.

For the main indoor system, Yamaha DHR15 full-range, powered loudspeakers and DXS18XLF extended low frequency subwoofers were specified. The DHR15's 0° to -7° tilt proved perfect for flying the loudspeakers from the venue ceiling, while the onboard FIR filtering assures exceptional sound clarity. Meanwhile, the DXS18XLF's 30Hz to 150Hz frequency range and 1600W class D amplifier module were ideal for delivering powerful bass frequencies.

On stage, DHR12M monitors were chosen, their 1000W amplifier module and corrective EQ for minimising phase distortion ideal for delivering punchy, accurate sound.

For the outdoor area, Mr Sanyal specified Yamaha VXS8 full range speakers, powered by a PX3 amplifier. With an IP35 rated enclosure, flexible mounting options, and excellent coverage, the VXS8 was the ideal solution to meet the challenge of superior, seamless open-air sound in Kolkata's climate.

A TF1 digital mixer was chosen to help the venue deliver perfectly balanced audio to both the indoor and outdoor areas, adjusted for background music or live/DJ performances.

"Once the system was commissioned, it proved that Yamaha was undoubtedly the best choice," says Mr Sanyal. "Bringing together Yamaha, The Four Pillars and Five and Dime has resulted in what I would call the perfect blend of minds and machines!"
