Newly opened Jun’s Restaurant in downtown Dubai is equipped with a multi-zone sound system designed to enhance the upscale eatery’s acoustic ambience that’s driven by LEA Professional Connect Series power amplifiers in a project designed and installed by regional AV integrator Venuetech.

Ismat Assafiri, systems architect and audio specialist at Venuetech, explains that the system was designed to deliver music to all main restaurant dining areas, including an outdoor area, while needing to be easy to operate. In light of that criteria, Assafiri and his team chose four LEA Professional 704 Network Connect Series amplifiers as the backbone of the design.

Connect Series 704 four-channel amplifiers are designed for small- to medium-scale installations, offering direct HiZ (70 or 100-volt) or LoZ, selectable by channel. Integrators can choose to connect via the built-in Wi-Fi access point, the venue’s Wi-Fi or use FAST Ethernet to connect to any local area network via Cat5 or Cat6 cable.

The restaurant encompasses three audio zones, two indoor and one outdoor, which presented some acoustical challenges. “The venue has high ceilings and reflective materials so we needed to be very considerate when it came to loudspeaker placement,” Assafiri adds.

The amplifiers are driving Vendome 5 loudspeakers from Active Audio, with the team using the LEA Professional Web UI in the optimization process. “The Connect Series amplifiers provide us with everything we need, from the intuitive user interface, the SPL headroom, to the ability to integrate with an endless list of loudspeaker manufacturers,” Assafiri concludes. “These are one of the most multifunctional amplifiers we have worked with.”
