Bellandur SOCIAL, Bangalore's latest entertainment venue, has enhanced its audio experience with Powersoft's advanced audio solutions, creating a dynamic, multi-zone sound system tailored for various events, from daytime dining to nighttime entertainment. The venue, housed within an oval glass dome, required a robust audio setup to cater to diverse areas, including a DJ section, VIP lounge, and outdoor balconies. This installation marks the 54th SOCIAL outlet by Impresario Hospitality Pvt. Ltd., led by Riyaaz Amlani, designed to immerse visitors in a "garden city" ambiance.

The installation, led by audio consultant Utkarsh Naidu from Techflow, features Powersoft's Mezzo, Duecanali, and Quattrocanali amplifiers, as well as the innovative Verso gateway device, all of which are monitored through the MyUniverso cloud platform. According to Naidu, these amplifiers' compact design, high performance, and Dynamic Music Distribution capabilities made them ideal for delivering consistent audio across the venue's multi-zone layout. "Powersoft was the ideal choice for this installation; the amplifiers' versatility and high-performance capabilities perfectly matched the project's diverse requirements, from space constraints to acoustic consistency," Naidu explained.

A range of Powersoft amplifiers was utilized, including four Quattrocanali 1204 DSP+D, two Quattrocanali 4804 DSP+D, one Duecanali 4804 DSP+D, one Duecanali 804 DSP+D, and four Mezzo 604 AD amplifiers. These were complemented by three WM Touch touchscreens, controlled remotely through the Verso gateway device, which connects the amplifiers to the MyUniverso cloud platform for seamless monitoring and adjustments. "The remote management capability streamlined our operations, saving time and reducing the need for on-site visits," noted Naidu.

Naidu highlighted the unique acoustic challenges of the venue's dome-shaped design, which Powersoft's digital signal processing effectively managed to maintain clear audio quality across all zones. "It was crucial to ensure consistent sound quality and distribution throughout the space, and Powersoft played a key role in maintaining clear audio across all zones, catering to both dining and nightlife settings," he said.

The equipment includes 20 DAS Audio ARTEC-306 and five ACTION-508 loudspeakers, two Q-10 and nine ARTEC-S15 subwoofers, four RCF NXL-44-44-4 loudspeakers, and two RCF 8008 subwoofers. Techflow utilised a Dante AVIO 2 input adapter for efficient audio routing, while Netgear AV line switches ensured reliable connectivity.

Naidu also emphasized the future-proof nature of Powersoft's solutions, allowing for potential system upgrades as the venue evolves. "The modularity of Powersoft means expansion and upgrades can be easily managed. Whether it's adding more zones, integrating newer audio technologies, or scaling the system to accommodate larger events, the infrastructure is already in place for seamless adaptation," Naidu stated.

Feedback on the sound system has been positive, with staff and guests alike noting the system's quality and ambiance. Naidu concluded, "The sound system has exceeded expectations, with high-quality audio creating the perfect ambiance for both daytime dining and nighttime events."
