Case Study: Restaurant John Campbell at Coworth Park Hotel

Jan. 31, 2011 - PRLog -- Audio for Michelin star cuisine
John Campbell is a name that defines a stratospheric standard of cutting edge cuisine and service. Connoisseurs of fine dining will recognise his signature quality in an instant, with audio flawlessly enhancing this experience.
The restaurant John Campbell at Coworth Park represents the latest flagship dining venture of the Dorchester Collection, with the full audio suite designed and installed by long-term partners CGA Integration and linked across the full breadth of Coworth Park.

Challenges
Dining venue audio requires superlative clarity. Its enhancing effect is judged by a lack of intrusion, via a discreet yet exquisitely balanced delivery to every point in the room. Homogenous sound fields are ideally achieved by regular arrays of speakers, which is exactly the opposite of what a designer or diner wishes. Bring soft furnishings, tables and striking internal layout into the acoustics and the challenge of achieving a beautifully layered acoustic is only met by excellent and imaginative engineering and installation expertise

Technical
With the emphasis firmly on audio excellence the CGA Integration team were unanimous that the audio processing would be second to none. Elements were combined from local and shared inputs, Digital Netmax processing, and distributed by EV Evid ceiling speakers. The final installation was given a bespoke commissioning by CGA Integration engineers to ensure quality every time, while controls for dining staff were streamlined to eliminate glitches. A final touch from the integrated system was a camera feed from the pantry to kitchen enabling service standards to be timed and food delivered to perfection every time.

Comment
John Campbell approved of the results; ‘The audio compliments our efforts to achieve faultless presentation of delicious dishes every time. Our diners are among the most demanding connoisseurs of every aspect of the restaurant experience and CGA Integration Ltd have fulfilled our vision for the restaurant audio.
