The secret behind the acoustics at TODOS Restaurant in Gwalior

The secret behind the acoustics at TODOS Restaurant in Gwalior

In the city of Gwalior, known for its growing gastronomic and cultural activity, TODOS Restaurant stands out as a space that combines dining, contemporary design, and a socially focused approach centred on outdoor events and carefully constructed indoor environments. Its layout is divided into two clearly differentiated areas: a spacious terrace that serves as the main area for music and social gatherings, and a more contained interior where acoustics depend directly on the architecture and the constant flow of guests.

This duality makes the installation particularly interesting from a technical perspective. Each area presents its own requirements in terms of directivity, sound pressure level, and tonal stability, necessitating the selection of systems capable of maintaining a coherent listening experience in both environments. To meet these demands, solutions from two of our product families were chosen: JUNO and WCX enclosures for the outdoor area, and BS enclosures in combination with an HR subwoofer for the interior.

The terrace functions as an open stage subject to environmental variations, audience movement, and fluctuating sound pressure levels depending on the type of event. Such spaces require enclosures capable of projecting with controlled directivity, withstanding outdoor conditions, and maintaining tonal stability even during extended periods of use. To address these needs, WCX and JUNO-8 cabinets were deployed, paired with a Marine Grade HR-218/20MG subwoofer, specifically designed for outdoor applications. This combination allows wide-area coverage with controlled dispersion, ensuring intelligibility and stable musical reproduction without the need to excessively increase the overall system level.

In the interior area, the acoustic behaviour changes significantly. The presence of absorptive elements and a smaller volume requires a compact, precise system capable of maintaining a balanced response for music playback. In this space, BS-10 enclosures were installed alongside an HR-218/20 subwoofer, a configuration that provides controlled low-frequency reinforcement and a well-defined sound image without interfering with the audience experience. The birch construction and rotatable waveguide of the BS-10 deliver stable directivity, which is essential in environments where listeners are in close proximity.

The final integration of the system was carried out with the aim of maintaining a homogeneous sonic signature between the interior and exterior. The symmetrical dispersion of the JUNO series, the controlled behaviour of the BS enclosures, and the linearity of the HR subwoofers facilitate smooth transitions between areas, regardless of occupancy or environmental conditions. The system guarantees a stable response under any operational condition, maintaining precise control over directivity and ensuring coherent reproduction even with increased sound pressure levels. This ensures that each area of the space receives exactly the acoustic performance projected in the design, meeting the established coverage and uniformity criteria.
