Your Haus or mine? - A Void Acoustics Case Study

Posted on: 30th May 2022

Imperial Haus is a newly opened intimate venue/cocktail bar with table service in the heart of Cheltenham.

Leap Audio was called in to have a look at the venues existing audio install, which they were having various issues with, to see how they could rectify any issues and improve the sound system to match the overall quality of the venue.

Timing of the install was of the utmost importance ahead of Cheltenham’s race week, as this is their busiest time of the year. From the initial quote stage, through the order process, speedy delivery and completed install, Imperial Haus was up and running with their brand-new Void sound system in just over 7 days! 

“In the current climate of long lead times and stock shortages, we think it’s important to maintain large amounts of holding stock across all brands and product ranges. In this case we had all the Void items in our warehouse and shipped them on our standard next-day delivery, which drastically reduced the project’s time scale.” explained Charlie Henden, Leisuretec’s Marketing Manager.

To ensure the aesthetic of the enchanted venue's décor was maintained and complimented, Void Acoustics Cyclone 8 and Cyclone 55 range of speakers were used based on their unique design and overall great quality.

The Cyclone speakers’ wide dispersion meant much more space was covered with fewer boxes, drastically reducing the amount of work needed before the deadline of race week.

Also include in the install, complementary to the wall-mounted Cyclones, was the Venu 112 V2 subwoofer from Void. The sub was placed amongst the foliage within the bar area to give the illusion of hidden sound coming from the venue’s decor. This was achievable due to the compact and unobtrusive nature of the subwoofer, allowing it to be not seen but definitely heard!   

Amplification is from a Powersoft Ottocanali DSP amplifier with two Powersoft WM touch wall controllers situated behind each drinks bar for remote control. 

Custom presets were programmed to allow user-friendly control of selecting sources and volumes, including powering the system off and on.

In addition to the loudspeaker install, DJ input points were also fitted in both downstairs and upstairs rooms, along with inputs for the venue’s media playlists. This allows mobile DJs to connect straight to the bar’s brand-new sound system, without the need for setting up their own PA system.
