NORTHRIDGE, California – To provide outstanding coverage and
audio quality to the newly renovated Salty Pig restaurant in downtown Boston, Massachusetts,
GC Pro recently installed a variety of HARMAN’s JBL loudspeakers, delivering
pristine sound to the establishment without disturbing the conversations of
patrons.
The Salty Pig, which is a structurally challenging building
to work with, wanted a complete upgrade. GC Pro decided to go with a full
HARMAN system so that everything worked complimentary to each other. “We designed
the whole system from scratch,” PK Pandey, Senior Account Manager, explained. “The
ceiling was not easy to mount anything and we did not want to mess with the
integrity of the restaurant itself. With many reflective surfaces as well, it
was a challenge deciding what products worked best. JBL, with their diverse
selection of options, made our job easy.”
Pandey installed seven JBL Control® 67P/T full-range pendant
loudspeakers in the main area of the restaurant, five CBT 50LA column
loudspeakers around the outdoor patio area and two Control SB210 compact
subwoofers, one indoor and one outdoor which allows both the CBT’s and Control
loudspeakers to work more efficiently without being pushed to the max. Also
installed were five JBL Control 24C ceiling loudspeakers to provide sound in
the bathrooms and alcove seating area. For amplification, four Crown XLS series
amplifiers were installed along with dbx ZonePro 1260 system processing.
“The Control pendant speakers worked perfectly for the
application,” said Pandey. “They provide great coverage and allow us to better
control the volume of the loudspeakers to provide customers with soothing
background music while eating. The CBT’s were easy to mount and their outdoor
capability makes them the best option. We also don’t have to worry about hot
spots or distortion over time, especially in Boston where the weather can
change every 10 minutes.”
The install at the Salty Pig has also left room for an
upgrade when the time is right with the ample power provided by the Crown
amplifiers. “Everything is about the experience at the Salty Pig,” mentioned
Pandey. “It really is about the food and the customer experience and we wanted
to provide the restaurant with a sound system that could be pushed to the limit
if needed, but also allowed customers to sit back and relax and enjoy their
meal.”
The system has surpassed the restaurant’s expectations,
according to Pandey. “Going with HARMAN, I knew I had a great product selection
to chose from,” Pandey continued. “This turned out to be important when it
became difficult to mount speakers in certain areas. Everything was extremely
easy to connect and the dbx processing connected everything beautifully.”
