Sky High Quality - Complementing Fine Dining With Fine Sound

Shri Lifestyle Dining is a pioneer of music and culinary experiences in Vietnam. First opened in 2010, it describes itself as “the first rooftop restaurant that meets international service standards in Ho Chi Minh City.” It quickly became a very popular location and has always aimed to deliver the best musical and culinary experience, with nightly live and DJ performances.

The owners recently asked Mr Nguyen Than, CEO of systems integrator and supplier Prosound Center Vietnam, to design, supply and install a high quality system to distribute the sound of performances throughout the restaurant and its outdoor terrace.

"As a complete culinary and music experience venue, very high standards of design, construction and sound performance were specified. As well as needing to sound and look great, with Ho Chi Minh City’s tropical climate, it had to be extremely reliable for long-term operation and to maximise the client’s return on investment,” he says.

Mr Than specified a Yamaha system, comprising 10 VXS8, two-way surface-mount speakers and five VXS10S subwoofers for the indoor dining area, driven by five PX5 amplifiers. For the outdoor terrace, 10 two-way, bi-amped DZR10 powered loudspeakers and four DXS15-XLF powered subwoofers were installed. Performances are mixed on a DM3 digital mixing console, with a pair of bi-amped DHR12M powered monitors for artists.

“Yamaha has pursued the philosophy of True Sound for many years and this system brings that quality and precision to diners at Shri Lifestyle Dining, perfectly complementing the fine dining and stunning location that this unique space offers,” says Mr Than.
