Introduction
El Ceramista restaurant, on the Villarreal C.F. soccer stadium, is presented as a meeting point for sport and culinary fans.
Fernando Roig, the majority shareholder of the Pamesa business group (pertaining to the ceramic sector) and Villarreal CF, decided to undertake a visionary project. The businessman chose the club’s soccer stadium to start a restaurant that would become the new meeting point for the fans – an innovative, welcoming and sophisticated place. The facility would also serve as a showroom for the ceramics of the group, of which Fernando Roig is par, standing out for a latent balance between design and gastronomy. Miguel Martí, a renowned Spanish chef with a consolidated career, would be in charge of creating a cuisine to match the place.
Challenge
The project was presented with remarkable complexity and wonder in a place as foreign to sophistication and haute cuisine as a soccer field. All the details had to line up perfectly to live up to high expectations. Consequently, in order to achieve an ideal atmosphere in every major event that would take place in this venue, it was essential to install a high-quality professional sound system.
Solution
The Quantum series systems were the protagonists in this installation, along with some models from the Arco, Artec, WR and Ceiling Series. The challenge was to combine exceptional sound quality with thoughtful design, and for that, the Quantum Series, available in all RAL colors, was the ideal choice. These highly intelligible and configurable response installation systems suit spaces with complex acoustic conditions and immersive experiences. With a horizontal dispersion of 120º and a vertical dispersion of up to 90º, these systems can create an exceptional sound environment in any corner of the restaurant.
The selected models of the Arco series were also available in white, giving the installation a similarly refined appearance, as well as doing justice to the sound quality. The ARCO-4-TW incorporates a 4” woofer with a weather resistant polypropylene cone and a 19mm neodymium tweeter, which delivers sparkling highs. It includes an overload safety circuit that protects the loudspeakers, 4 M6 rigging points and fixing points for the safety cable.
The great-looking selected models of the Artec series, made of high-quality birch plywood, together with systems from the WR series are used for sound reinforcement guaranteeing the best sound throughout the restaurant. To complete the installation, systems from the Ceiling Series were fitted on the ceiling, blending seamlessly with the space.
