Amate Audio’s new G7 premium commercial audio loudspeaker was selected to provide a substantial BGM installation for La Citi at Barcelona’s popular La Maquinista retail centre. Not the kind of dining experience normally fond in a shopping mall, the new outdoor rooftop space is a celebration of pop-up and food-truck dining, with the type of vendors more commonly found at festivals and street food markets.
La Citi’s creators took particular care over the venue’s sound, which is required to run constantly for 12 hours each day, seven days a week – performance quality and reliability were equal operational considerations.
The G7 combines the highest standards of robustness and reliability required of a commercial audio loudspeaker with levels of sonic performance rarely found in injection-moulded designs. Key to this is the meticulous matching of premium components, within a proprietary mould devised by Amate Audio’s design team, to provide advanced internal acoustic architecture as well as distinctive styling.
The resultant output levels and frequency response are comparable with larger wood constructed cabinets with considerably larger drivers; resulting in fewer cabinets required in an installation, and a level of bass response that does not necessitate the addition of sub bass cabinets.
Project managing the installation, Amate Audio’s Industrial Designer Guiu Llusá, who was integral in the inception and design of the G7, explains that selection of the loudspeaker for La Citi’s installation was decided the basis of it fulfilling a combination of key criteria, ‘The G7 was chosen for its exceptional aesthetics and sound quality, as well as ease of installation and the capability of the design to withstand inclement weather,’ he says.
