Audio Zones for Every Part of Your Venue
Each area of your restaurant has different acoustic needs. We design independent zones with tailored speaker selection and control.
Dining Area
Background music at conversation level. Ceiling speakers or discreet wall-mount units that blend with your decor while delivering warm, even coverage across every table — no dead zones, no hot spots.
- Volume scheduling: louder during service, softer for intimate dining
- 2-4 independent zones typical for mid-size restaurants
- Source switching between streaming, playlist, and live input
Bar / Lounge
Higher energy, deeper bass. Bars need audio that builds atmosphere as the evening progresses — from relaxed after-work drinks to late-night buzz. Independent volume control lets you crank the bar while keeping the dining room conversational.
- Dedicated subwoofer placement for full-range sound
- DJ-ready inputs for weekend sets
- Lighting sync capability for themed nights
Outdoor Terrace
Weather-resistant speakers with directional sound to minimize noise complaints from neighbors. We know Croatian coastal conditions — salt air, humidity, and direct sun — and specify equipment rated to handle them.
- IP65-rated weatherproof speakers for Adriatic conditions
- Seasonal install/remove options for island locations
- Power planning for terrace and pier setups
Private Dining / Events
Private rooms need private control. We install independent zones for VIP areas, wine rooms, and event spaces — each with its own source selection and volume. Perfect for hosting groups while maintaining the main restaurant atmosphere.
- Wireless mic for speeches and toasts
- Portable PA input for live music and entertainment
- Quick setup/teardown between services
Why Sound Matters for Revenue
The right audio system is not a cost — it is an investment that pays for itself through higher spend and more covers.
9.1%
Higher average spend per table in restaurants with curated background music (Journal of Consumer Research)
20%
Background music tempo affects dining duration by up to 20% — slower music means longer stays and more orders
6 mo
Average payback period — the right system pays for itself through increased covers and higher average spend
"The right system pays for itself within 6 months through increased covers and higher average spend. Music is not decoration — it is a revenue tool."
Our Restaurant Audio Process
Site Assessment
We visit your restaurant to assess acoustics, map seating zones, and understand how your space operates from lunch through late evening.
System Design
We design a zoned system that fits your layout — dining room, bar, terrace, private areas. We spec equipment and deliver a clear quote.
Installation
Our technicians handle everything — mounting, cabling, amplifier setup, and acoustic tuning. We work around your schedule, often overnight or before opening.
Staff Training
We train your staff on daily operation and set up music programming. From simple wall controls to tablet apps — your team runs the system from day one.
Investment Ranges by Restaurant Size
€2,000 – €5,000
Cafe / Bistro
Single zone or basic two-zone system. Includes speakers, amplifier, basic controls, installation, and staff training. Perfect for cafes, bistros, and intimate dining rooms.
€5,000 – €15,000
Mid-Size Restaurant
Multi-zone system with independent control for dining, bar, and terrace. Includes licensed music integration, advanced controls, and ongoing support options.
On Request
Large Venue / Complex
Event-capable systems, multi-building venues, or complex acoustic challenges. Includes detailed acoustic design, professional installation, and defined service agreements.
Private Rooms & VIP Areas
Private rooms need private control. We install independent zones for VIP areas, wine rooms, and event spaces — each with its own source selection and volume. Perfect for hosting groups while maintaining the main restaurant atmosphere.
Event-Ready Systems
Your restaurant hosts more than dinner. We design systems that handle everyday background music AND special events — live music, DJ nights, private parties — without renting additional equipment. One system, multiple capabilities.
Why We Choose Specific Equipment for Restaurant Environments
Restaurant acoustics demand speakers that deliver clarity at low volume, handle bass without distortion, and disappear into your interior design. Learn why we specify Bose, K-Array, and RCF for hospitality — and how each brand solves different venue challenges.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can the system handle both background music and DJ sets?
Yes. We design dual-purpose systems with easy switching between ambient background music and high-energy DJ performances. No additional equipment needed for DJ nights.
What about noise regulations in Split old town?
We're experienced with Split's noise ordinances, especially in the UNESCO Diocletian's Palace zone. We design systems with output limiters and zoning that help you stay compliant while still creating atmosphere.
Do you provide music licensing?
We provide the audio infrastructure. Music licensing (HDS/ZAMP in Croatia) is handled separately by the venue. We can advise on requirements and compliant streaming solutions.
How much does a restaurant audio system cost?
A basic single-zone cafe or bistro system starts from EUR 2,000-5,000. Mid-size restaurants with multi-zone control (dining, bar, terrace) range EUR 5,000-15,000. Larger venues with event capability are quoted on request after a site assessment.
Can staff control the system without technical knowledge?
Absolutely. We set up simple wall-panel or tablet controls with presets for different times of day. Your staff can switch from lunch mode to evening energy to late-night with a single tap. We train your team during handover.
What about outdoor terrace installations near the sea?
We use IP65-rated, weatherproof speakers designed for salt air, humidity, and direct sunlight. For island locations like Hvar and Brac, we also handle seasonal install/remove and power planning.
