We now know that good ventilation is key in reducing the spread of Covid, so eating or socialising outside with all the benefits of natural air flow, reduces the propensity of transmission. As a result, outdoor hospitality spaces are going to be key this summer and AV can be used to help enhance your guest’s experience whether they are inside or out.
Used effectively, a soundscape can bring the ambience of your venue seamlessly from one area to another, to create a holistic experience. In just the same way as you would use a multi zoned sound system to create continuity of sound, as a guest walks through a hotel from the lobby to the bar though to the restaurant, the right number and type of speakers placed in the correct location can create a seamless flow of sound into an outdoor dining or bar area.
Similarly, outdoor speakers don’t have to be ugly! Discrete speakers can be installed outside and even matched to a RAL colour to seamlessly blend with your decor. They can be linked to your existing sound system and controlled in the same way as any other room or zone in your venue, ensuring that the right ambience is created in that area, depending on the occasion or time of day.
CGA Integration have been working with Coworth Park in Ascot to extend their AV system outside, to enhance their guest’s experience whether they are dining or socialising inside or out. Installing outside speakers in the newly covered areas outside both the Barn Restaurant and the terrace outside the Drawing room. These speakers have been linked to the existing CGA designed and installed sound system through current control panels and will enable a seamless flow of sound into the outdoor areas. The sound system on the terrace also has the ability to relay the grand piano from the Drawing Room, so guests gathered outside will be able to listen to the live pianist whenever they play.
As we embark on the road map to recovery, ‘let’s go outside’ and welcome guests back to our hospitality venues whether outside and in.
