The client is the owner of Lady Bee, a bartender and chef whose previous venue ranked in the world's top 16, aiming to build a new bar that could reach the number one spot globally. The brief called for a high-quality audio system that could run at high volume while still allowing fluid conversation between guests and staff, plus full playlist control from the owner's own phone.
The NEXO ID24i surface speakers were fitted with custom NEXO 04VNI-WB02 brackets so they sat flush within the curved architecture without breaking the ceiling's continuous visual flow.
The two NEXO IDS.110-T subwoofers were built into structural cavities beneath the seating banquettes, becoming a concealed extension of the furniture with no visible low-frequency components anywhere in the room.
Speaker selection, placement, and calibration to DBA standards were tuned specifically to preserve speech intelligibility so guests and waitstaff could talk over the music at sustained volume.
Precision perforations were engineered into the banquette enclosures to let low-frequency energy pass cleanly while keeping the housings visually seamless with the furniture.
