Contact usAlbert’s Bar is a vibrant addition to New York City’s dynamic nightlife scene, sitting right around the corner from Grand Central Station in Midtown Manhattan.
This bar and restaurant is more than just a place to grab a drink or enjoy a meal; it delivers an elevated drinking experience that transitions seamlessly into a lively nightlife hotspot. Whether it’s dinner service, weekend DJ sets, or the excitement of a big game, Albert’s Bar has quickly become a favourite among locals and visitors alike.
At the heart of Albert’s atmosphere is its Void Acoustics sound system, channelling a range of music genres across this spacious venue.
Tackling the challenge of high ceilings
When the new owners of Albert’s Bar began their renovation project, they sought to create a space that offered rich, full sound at low volumes during dining hours while having the ability to shift into a high-energy environment for late-night events.
The venue presented several acoustic challenges. The expansive space, with its 20-foot-plus ceilings and reflective surfaces like tile, was a concern. Without the right audio solution, the sound could easily become lost or overly cacophonous, detracting from the overall ambience.
Albert’s Bar brought in a trusted integrator with a long-standing relationship with Void Acoustics, to oversee the sound system replacement.
Having previously designed and installed AV systems across New York, the integrator recommended Void Acoustics as the must-have solution for Albert’s Bar. The combination of performance, reliability, and cost-effectiveness made Void the clear choice for this bustling Midtown venue.
Albert’s new system includes a mix of Void Acoustics’ biggest and best products selected to overcome the challenges of the space. The setup features Venu 208 subwoofers, Venu 6 v2 and Cyclone 55 speakers, all powered by Q1 and Q1.5 amplifiers.
This system was meticulously integrated into the venue’s design aesthetic, ensuring that the speakers not only delivered excellent sound coverage but also blended with the bar’s stylish interior.
