ISTANBUL — Elit Light/Sound Technologies provided an L-Acoustics sound system for Date Restaurant & Designers’ Corner, which recently opened in a vintage building here. Kaan Ozcan, manager of the retail outlet that combines for food, fashion and entertainment under one roof, credited L-Acoustics for delivering “excellent sound in a small package.  It is ideal for the space and versatile too — ideal for our needs.”

More details from L-Acoustics (www.l-acoustics.com):

Date Restaurant & Designers’ Corner is a new multi-functional venue in Istanbul offering entertainment around cuisine and fashion.  On the first floor, Date Restaurant & Designers’ Corner serves as a bar and restaurant. On the second floor, the Date Restaurant & Designers’ Corner hosts events around fashion and design.  Fashion collections designed especially for Date were exhibited for the opening celebration, followed by a fashion show choreographed by the Turkish fashion designer Uğurkan Erez.

Aside from providing a multiple activities under one roof, Date Restaurant and Designers’ Corner put a lot of thought into choosing the sound system and sound design appropriate for their space.  The building dates from 1873 and was carefully renovated by the team, revealing beautiful exposed brick walls.  The sound systems needed to meet the needs of disparate activities, including dining, dancing, hosting fashion shows, hosting pop-up shows and after dark, clubbing.

Elit Light/Sound Technologies installed 8XTi speakers from the L-Acoustics coaxial range, as well as a SB18i subwoofer.  The L-Acoustics LA4 amplified controller is used to control, filter and power the system. The system was carefully installed around the venue for ultimate sonic performance, clarity and precision, preserving the quality of sound throughout the venue.
