Background Music for Hotels and Restaurants

Background music can be an important aspect of a shopping experience, or for adding to the working environment or the ambience of a restaurant. Babble can advise you on the choice and means to play background music across your fixed or a portable public address system or via a dedicated music system, including high quality Bose systems.

Bose System Enhances Wedding Venue

Iscoyd Park is an 18th century manor house located on the Wales/Shropshire border that has been tastefully refurbished to create a stunning venue for weddings, conferences or parties. The new Garden Room, with its huge arches and stone floors, creates the perfect setting for a wedding, after which guests are invited to move into the adjoining bar and marquee for the wedding breakfast and evening entertainment.

As part of the refurbishment, we were invited to specify a high quality audio system to deliver recorded music before, during and after the ceremony, with wireless microphones for the speeches and a system for live or recorded music at the reception in the marquee.

Following the requirements of the venue owners, and working closely with Bose, our systems expert selected a system comprising of Bose FreeSpace loudspeakers in the Garden Room, bar and side room, with a portable Bose system in the marquee. The high ceilings and hard surfaces of the Garden Room created some high reverberation challenges, but the full range speakers were strategically placed in vertical mode at relatively high levels to overcome these issues. White speakers were selected to blend exceptionally well into the white decor, so they are unobtrusive whilst delivering clear speech and music clarity.

The marquee, which can seat 150 guests, now has a Bose system that can deliver live music or recorded music via iPod or CD, either as background sound during the wedding breakfast, or foreground music to which guests can dance the night away.

Philip Godsal is delighted with the result. ” Midland Communications completely took on board what we were trying to achieve and from planning through installation worked with minimal fuss. The sound from the Bose system is first class “
