Naughty Nancy’s is a lively cocktail bar and eatery renowned for its modern twist on cuisine, drinks, and live music offerings. With two distinct floors catering to a variety of moods and events, the venue needed a sophisticated audio solution to match its vibrant energy. Partnering with Jands and AV integrator Pro FX, Naughty Nancy’s successfully upgraded its music system to ensure a seamless and elevated experience for patrons and neighbours alike.
The Challenge
Naughty Nancy’s faced significant sound issues that hampered the customer experience:
- Imbalanced Sound Levels: Noise from one floor disrupted patrons on the other, leading to discomfort and inaudibility.
- Echo and Reverberation: The open design of the venue caused sound bleed between floors, affecting clarity.
- Dead Zones: Inconsistent audio coverage hindered the atmosphere in certain areas, critical for a venue offering live music, dining, and cocktails.
- Neighbour Relations: Noise complaints from nearby residents added urgency to find a solution..
The Solution: Electro-Voice and Blaze Audio Integration
To resolve these challenges, Pro FX and Jands implemented a state-of-the-art audio system featuring Electro-Voice and Blaze Audio technology.
