Summary

Nando's new Mall of Africa restaurant needed sound for its Afro-Luso playlist that suits each area. We supplied Audac loudspeakers that work with a DALI lighting system.

The setting

Nando's is a global restaurant brand. It recently opened a new restaurant in the Mall of Africa, Midrand. The interior is decorated with the brand's collection of contemporary South African art.

The challenge

Audio matters to the brand, which celebrates its Afro-Portuguese heritage with a carefully curated Afro-Luso playlist. The restaurant has different areas, and each needed loudspeakers that suit how it is used.

The sound also had to work with the lighting, so that levels and ambience follow the time of day.

What we did

We supplied a variety of Audac loudspeakers to fit the different applications in the restaurant. The audio works with a DALI-controlled lighting system (DALI is a standard way to control lighting) installed by Lumalytic.

Together they give a zoned audio-visual system, with automation that manages every element.

The outcome

The restaurant has zoned audio and lighting that are controlled together.
