Summary

Casa Focaccia, a new Italian restaurant in Windhoek's Hilltop Village, wanted background music its staff could run from a phone. We installed an Audac system with streaming.

The setting

Casa Focaccia is a new eatery in Hilltop Village, Windhoek, serving rustic Italian food baked fresh every day. We worked on the brief with Chamberlain Architects.

The challenge

The restaurant wanted a professional background music system that was intuitive to control and could stream directly from online platforms. Staff needed to manage playlists from their phones or a dedicated computer.

The sound had to suit the interior and stay balanced in every area. On site, the installation had to be timed around other contractors so dust and debris stayed away from the equipment.

What we did

Our team in Windhoek specified a compact all-in-one Audac system: a pair of ATEO6M wall-mounted loudspeakers, an MFA216 amplifier and an NMP40 SourceCon streaming module. The loudspeakers went up on Audac's CleverMount+ system and blend into the design.

The Audac Touch app gives the management team full control of playback and sources from a smartphone or PC.

The outcome

The restaurant has rich, even sound across its dining areas, indoors and out. Owner and head chef Rohan Dilip Kumar says: "The audio system has been performing reliably and has enhanced the overall dining experience for our guests." He adds that the sound creates the right atmosphere without overwhelming conversation.
