Sound Division turns Japanese
with Zuma
Zuma in London's Knightsbridge, offers one of
London's most innovative and successful Japanese
culinary experiences. Brainchild of Rainer Becker,
who has since opened the award-winning Roka restaurant
in Soho, the ethos behind Zuma is to deliver an
authentic flavour of the east while respecting
the traditions of the past. When Zuma decided
to upgrade the sound system in their sophisticated
sake bar and lounge, they turned to audio-visual
installation specialists, Sound Division.
Sound Division's David Graham explained that
Zuma has a very stylish and discerning clientele,
and in their sake bar, which is both chic and
buzzing, Zuma's management felt that they needed
an audio system to match. Sound Division completed
a very successful audio installation in their
sister restaurant, Roka, last year so it was only
natural that the company asked for Sound Division's
services here.
To that end, Sound Division installed a total
of five full range 300W JBL Control 29AV loudspeakers
with QSC amplification. According to David Graham,
the sound system is now in keeping with the quality
of the surroundings. "Audio is an important
part of most bar environments, and Zuma is no
exception. The client was looking for high quality,
intelligible audio that would help create that
all-important ambience without drowning out conversation,
and that's exactly what they've got."
