A new upmarket bar/restaurant in London's Soho has had its sound reinforcement provided by multiples of Impact loudspeakers coloured in British racing green that perfectly matches the restaurant's design decor. The enclosures at Jerusalem were specified by Streatham-based SLR, whose Darren Hutch says that they were perfect for the job. He chose eight Impact 80s and an Impact 180 sub, which were fed from a DJ rostrum."The ability to specify racing green won us the job,' admitted Darren.

"I couldn't believe it when I saw the light fittings - that colour is everywhere you look in the restaurant."Knowing that he could discreetly match the system to the design scheme he took a demo system down to the restaurant - and the owners loved it.The highly-designed Rathbone Place restaurant is likely to enjoy a high profile as it joins the ownership stable of central London eateries that includes the fashionable Bar Rumba, Saint Bar & Restaurant, Sub Station, Sub Station South and Villa Stefano."This is our first installation using Impacts and it's been a big success," enthused Darren. So much so, in fact, that he promptly earmarked another six Impact 80s - a more regulation grey this time - for the new Henry J Beans in the fast developing cafe-bar city of Bristol. "Our relationship with Turbosound is fairly new - but after getting off to such a positive start I hope we can do a lot more business with them," he said.
