Located on Singapore’s One Fullerton Road, the OverEasy American-style diner has had a new sound system for its outdoor space events designed and installed by Electronics & Engineering.

Along with a sister venue on Orchard Road, the diner is owned and operated by the Lo & Behold Group, with both venues overlooking the Marina Bay skyline. In addition to a substantial upgrade in audio quality, the owners wanted better zoning and greater level control within each of the zones. The permanent outdoor part of the system also required loudspeakers that could handle all weather conditions, particularly torrential rain and high humidity.

Case Woo of Electronics & Engineering was the audio consultant for the project, tasked to meet the varied requirements for indoors and outdoors with good aesthetics and sonic capability. To meet all of the requirements, he chose compact Community loudspeakers that deliver both the required audio performance, but also unequalled reliability in all-weather environments.

For the high-table dining side of the outdoor deck, Case Woo chose Community W Series W2-228 8-inch quasi three-way loudspeakers, with four W2-218 8-inch two-way units providing lower volume fill for the low-table family dining side. Two XLR-input panels are strategically positioned to allow for the addition of a subwoofer on featured DJ nights.

The indoor dining room, which includes low and high lounge dining areas, uses seven Community D Series DS8 8-inch high-output surface-mount loudspeakers, with three D10Sub flush-mounted ceiling subwoofers adding low frequency extension and impact. All loudspeakers are powered by Powersoft Quattrocanali amplifiers and zone control is handled via Symetrix Radius with ARC panels.

‘The Community loudspeakers belie their size and produce clear, powerful sound,’ says Case Woo. ‘The clients are pleased that we have met their objectives so effectively.’
