Moxy Hotels recently expanded its New York footprint with the launch of the 303-room Moxy Lower East Side, its the fifth outpost in Manhattan, with Mount Vernon, NY-based integration firm Anthem Productions outfitting several spaces in the venue with sound systems utilizing 1 SOUND loudspeakers.
“By providing a stunning variety of venues and concepts under a single roof, the hotel really embodies the diversity of the Lower East Side,” says Mitchell Hochbert, president of Lightstone, developer and manager of the hotels. “People come to the neighborhood to indulge their thirst for discovery, and they’ll get that at the Moxy, too—and we’ve made it accessible rather than exclusive.”
The Fix, an all-day bar and cafe in the hotel lobby, is equipped with a distributed system utilizing Cannon C6 coaxial loudspeakers joined by FSUB45 and SUB310 subwoofers concealed throughout the space. Tao Group’s restaurant, Sake No Hana, a 4,227 square-foot space that seats 165, is covered with a combination of Cannon C6 and C41 coaxials joined by Tower LCC44 cardioid loudspeakers specified to deliver the required SPL and clarity. The are accompanied by more SUB310 as well as Wall and Floor subwoofers.
Silver Lining, a piano lounge that pays tribute to the entertainment-filled neighborhood of the hotel, also employ a system with Cannon C6s and SUB310s, while the Highlight Room, a rooftop bar on the 16th floor, employs Tower LCC44 cardioids to help reduce reflections in the glass-enclosed space in supporting performances by DJs, with low end by WSUB45 and SUB310 subwoofers. More Cannon C6s serve as monitors in the DJ booth and outside on the balcony, mounted with C-Clamps and L-Brackets designed to offer easy aiming.
