Bossa Family Restaurant

Bossa Family Restaurant · Maerua Mall, Windhoek, Namibia

Restaurant bar and dining area with timber ceiling slats and pendant lights

Bossa opened its first restaurant outside South Africa at Maerua Mall and needed clear, even sound that staff could run. We designed a custom Audac system.

The setting

Bossa is a South African family restaurant. Its Windhoek branch at Maerua Mall is its international debut. Maerua Mall was renovated and expanded at the end of 2024, and Bossa was one of three new restaurants there that turned to our Namibia team for sound.

The challenge

Bossa needed easy-to-use control, clear sound and even coverage across the restaurant. It sits on the outside of the mall, so the background music had to be loud enough to mask street and traffic noise, yet subtle enough not to disrupt conversation.

We were given complete freedom to design the system.

What we did

We specified Audac for its reliability and simple operation. For playback we chose the XMP44 SourceCon modular system, configured with Audio Streaming, Media Player and Internet Radio modules, so the restaurant has several sources to play from.

CIRA 8 passive ceiling loudspeakers are spread evenly through the restaurant and driven by CAP424 amplifiers. An MTX48 audio matrix handles signal routing and zone management. SourceCon also makes it simple to switch between television audio during sports broadcasts and background music.

The outcome

Bossa opened in Windhoek with even sound across the restaurant from a system that is simple to operate. Staff can switch between sports audio and background music without help.
