Kulinarna Kamienica is a flagship multi-functional hospitality project located in a revitalized historic building in the heart of Poznań. The venue combines high-end dining, a lounge bar, and professional event spaces across multiple levels. Phono Media provided the full Ecler-based technological backbone for this complex, multi-zone environment.
ARCHITECTURAL & TECHNICAL CHALLENGES
The primary challenge was the building’s heritage architecture, characterized by high ceilings and diverse acoustic reflections. The client required a system that could:
- Deliver seamless, high-fidelity background music (BGM) in dining areas.
- Provide high-SPL reinforcement for events and lounge sessions.
- Be managed centrally while allowing for local input flexibility in key zones.
ECLER CORE SOLUTIONS & FUNCTIONALITY
The installation is designed as a fully integrated Dante-based ecosystem, ensuring a 100% digital signal path and maximum flexibility.
- Matrix & Routing: At the core lies the Ecler MIMO7272DN digital matrix. Utilizing its 64x64 Dante capabilities, we achieved a decentralized architecture, allowing any source to be routed to any of the 15+ independent zones without signal loss.
- Amplification & DSP: Power is delivered by a strategic mix of Ecler AURA and GPA series amplifiers. Each zone benefits from localized DSP tuning, optimizing the frequency response of the loudspeakers to the specific cubic capacity of the rooms.
- Loudspeaker Deployment: * eUC106 & IC6: Over 35 units provide uniform coverage with a focus on aesthetic integration into the historic interiors.
- ARQISSB6Ti: Strategically placed subwoofers deliver controlled low-end reinforcement, crucial for the lounge atmosphere.
- User Interface & Connectivity: The deployment of WPNet4KV LCD wall panels and WP22DN Dante interfaces allows the venue staff to manage volume and sources intuitively.
KEY FUNCTIONAL OUTCOMES
- Scalability: The Dante backbone allows for future expansion of the system without additional structural cabling.
- Operational Efficiency: Pre-programmed scenes allow for instant transitions between "Restaurant", "Cocktail", and "Event" audio profiles.
- Reliability: The use of Ecler’s professional-grade amplification ensures 24/7 stability in a demanding hospitality environment.
CONCLUSION
The Kulinarna Kamienica project serves as a premier reference for Ecler’s digital networking capabilities. By combining architectural aesthetics with high-performance audio routing, we have delivered a system that is both technically advanced and commercially efficient.
