Invisible Sound Systems for Restaurants. A New Tool from cerasonar®

A Well-Sounding Restaurant Means Satisfied Guests

When designing a restaurant, café, or bar, investors typically focus on interior design, lighting, and guest comfort. Equally important is the sound system, which has a direct impact on the venue's atmosphere and the comfort of conversations at the tables. The challenge arises when sound levels vary significantly across different areas of the room.

The manufacturer of invisible sound systems, cerasonar®, has introduced a new interactive tool that allows users to compare traditional loudspeaker systems with solutions based on Smart Coverage technology. The tool demonstrates how speaker placement affects sound distribution and enables comparison of different system costs.

Even Sound at Every Table

In typical installations using only a few loudspeakers positioned around the perimeter of a room, differences in sound levels between tables can be clearly noticeable. cerasonar Smart Coverage solutions significantly reduce these variations, providing a more consistent listening experience for all guests.

Table colours are relative to the quietest table in each layout. Same assumed per-speaker level and height; simplified direct-sound example, not a measurement. Reflections, obstacles and combined levels are excluded.

This is particularly important in restaurants and hospitality venues, where music should enhance the atmosphere rather than interfere with conversation.

Sound Systems You Can't See

cerasonar® loudspeakers are completely concealed beneath wall or ceiling finishes, making them invisible once installation is complete. Architects and investors gain complete freedom in interior design without compromising aesthetics with visible speaker cabinets, grilles, or mounting hardware.

This solution is ideal for both new-build projects and renovations of existing restaurants, hotels, cafés, and other commercial spaces where aesthetics, sound quality, and user comfort are equally important.

Compare Sound Systems and Project Costs

The new tool enables users to:

• compare different audio concepts for restaurants and bars,
• evaluate sound coverage uniformity throughout a venue,
• estimate system costs for indoor and outdoor terrace areas,
• assess how speaker placement affects guest comfort,
• present alternative design options to clients in a clear and understandable way.
