FAQ ## Restaurant and hospitality AV questions What owners and general managers ask before a restaurant, bar or venue project in Chattanooga. ### What does Smart Systems install in restaurants and bars? Zoned background music from Sonos streamers with 70-volt pendant, ceiling and surface-mount speakers; TVs over the bar with channel and music control from a wall touch screen; patio speakers; the network and cabling for point-of-sale systems and Wi-Fi; camera systems and recorders; and acoustic treatment where hard surfaces make a room loud. ### Can the music sound full without drowning out conversation? That is the design goal. At Stir, 24 wide-dispersion pendant speakers flown as low as the ceiling allowed, with JBL subwoofers, give full sound at every table while leaving room for normal conversation; State of Confusion added acoustic treatment to tame an industrial interior; and Side Track's system was laid out from the plans and the proposed table layout. ### Can staff change TV channels and music from one place? Yes. At the Country Club Restaurant Expansion, wall-mounted Crestron touch screens choose the channel on every TV and the music in the bar and on the bar patio, with the equipment in one rack out of guests' sight. At Honey Seed, two Sonos streamers can play the same music in every zone with independent volume. ### Does Smart Systems work with event venues, shops and fitness centers? Yes. The Ruby Falls Skyline Loft event space has sixteen pendant speakers, a Biamp DSP that mixes in the building's existing paging, wireless microphones and a 113-inch drop-down screen; Bricks and Minifigs got a new network, store audio and displays; Riverstone Wine\*Spirits\*Brew opened with eighteen cameras and PDK access control; and the Well Advantage fitness center runs 70-volt audio and TVs across its training areas. ### How quickly does Smart Systems respond to a quote request?
