The King’s Head pub in Bwlchgwyn, located not far from Wrexham in North Wales, is a place where patrons go to enjoy karaoke, live performance, bingo, sports, and trivia nights. New owners Eddie and Abbie Haftavani decided to keep the pub ahead of the curve, and upgrade to the sound system was required. Wrexham-based Specialists Pivotal Sound & Lighting of Wrexham were engaged to design and supply a solution for The King’s Head and ultimately recommended an Optimal Audio system to meet the pub’s varied programs.
“The existing system comprised a number of loudspeakers driven by a home cinema amplifier which was running as a single zone, including in the outside area," explained Darren Hughes, director at Pivotal Sound & Lighting. "Given the range of events that the pub hosts, a zoned system was essential. This would allow for example, a ‘loud zone’ around the bar area, a ‘quieter zone’ in the snug, or perhaps keep the outside area audio-free during karaoke or DJ sets. They also wanted the facility to input audio from their TV screens. Ultimately, it was about having better quality audio and better control.”
