Restaurants and cafés

An installation designed to follow the rhythm of the venue

At Pendulo Beach Club, located on the coast of Castelldefels, the sound system evolves alongside the venue throughout the day. During restaurant service, it delivers smooth, even background music; as the atmosphere shifts and the DJ takes over, the system reveals its full potential without requiring any changes to the installation.

The project is built entirely around Void Acoustics, combining acoustic performance with seamless aesthetic integration. The restaurant area features an extensive deployment of Cyclone 10 loudspeakers in black, strategically installed at different heights to provide consistent coverage throughout the venue while blending naturally into the architecture.

As the venue transitions into beach club mode, two custom Air Motion loudspeakers in a unique matte gold finish take centre stage in the DJ booth. Beneath the booth, a Stasys 218 subwoofer delivers the low-frequency impact needed as the energy builds and the party begins.

The installation is powered by BIAS Q2 amplifiers, while an Ecler MIMO1212SG audio matrix manages signal routing, allowing the system to adapt to each stage of the venue's daily operation.

"The first thing that catches people's attention is the Air Motion. Many guests don't even realise it's a loudspeaker and ask, 'Does that actually produce sound?' My answer is always the same: yes... and plenty of it," says Fran Nicolás López, Technical Director.

Beyond its distinctive appearance, Fran highlights the system's sound quality: "What stands out the most is its clarity, both in the low and high frequencies. It's a very smooth sound that never becomes harsh, and we hardly needed any extreme EQ to achieve the result we were looking for."

The visual integration was also a key part of the project. Working alongside the interior designer, the team selected the finishes to complement the venue, while the matte gold Air Motion loudspeakers were custom-made at the owner's request, creating a truly unique installation.

"The Cyclone speakers provide exactly the right ambience during restaurant service. As the day progresses, we gradually bring the rest of the system online until the party starts, when the Stasys delivers all the low-end impact we need without compromising the overall balance of the system," concludes Fran.

Pendulo Beach Club demonstrates how a carefully designed sound system can adapt to different moments throughout the day, delivering the right listening experience while maintaining the same level of performance, integration and visual appeal from the first lunch service to the final DJ set.
