Advanced Technology Integration
Multiple audio, AV, and network elements work together to support both customer experience and operational simplicity.
Multi-Zone Restaurant Audio System
A QSC-powered commercial audio system was installed to deliver clear, balanced sound across the venue.
This included:
- 2 x QSC 8-inch speakers in the open dining area for even sound coverage
- 4 x compact QSC speakers in the bar area for clarity in a busier space
- built-in QSC subwoofer integrated into the bar cabinetry
- 2 x QSC surface-mount speakers in the garden area
This setup ensures the venue sounds balanced and engaging across different spaces, without harsh volume changes or inconsistent coverage.
Zoned Audio Control
The audio system was designed around two independent venue zones, the bar and main dining area, which can operate separately or together depending on service needs.
A FreeZone Cloud amplifier mixer with wall-plate controls behind the bar gives staff easy access to:
- source selection
- zone volume control
- combined or separate operation across spaces
This allows the venue to adapt the atmosphere quickly as the day and service style change.
Event & Presentation AV
Three Seven Two also required infrastructure to support a wider range of functions beyond regular dining.
To make that possible, Safe N Sound installed:
- two microphones for speeches, presentations, and events
- drop-down projector screen
- input plates for bring-your-own-device and projector connections
- power and audio input access for DJs and live performances
This gives the venue a practical, event-ready AV setup without needing temporary workarounds.
Network & Connectivity Infrastructure
Reliable connectivity was essential for both venue operations and flexible audio use.
Safe N Sound installed:
- high-performance wireless Wi-Fi throughout the venue
- structured cabling for EFTPOS machines and all wider network requirements
- wireless audio streaming capability where needed
This creates a network foundation that supports both front-of-house hospitality operations and connected AV use across the venue.
