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, leaving some guests exposed to music that is too loud while others can barely hear it.

The safety of pupils and staff is now a top priority for head teachers, school governing bodies and local authorities. Schools have written procedures for an intruder or an evacuation. How well those procedures work, however, depends on how quickly and clearly they can be put into action.

RDL (Radio Design Labs) has introduced a new series of Rack-Up® Dante® interfaces. These compact devices carry analog mic and line signals into a Dante network and back out again. Every model has a built-in matrix mixer and essential onboard signal processing. For integrators, this means fewer additional devices in the system and more flexibility when designing installations.
