The name was chosen because \u201cLilibet\u201d was the Queen\u2019s childhood nickname.<\/p>\n<p>Working with Chamberlain Architects, London-based integrator Tateside designed and installed a distributed background music system using K-array\u2019s Vyper KV25 loudspeakers and Rumble KU26 subwoofers, driven by Kommander KA18 and KA28 amplifiers.<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-119563 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/unnamed-2025-11-11T113607.786-726x484.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"408\" height=\"272\"  \/>A Q-Sys core processor handles system control and input processing, with simplified management via iPad, while K-array\u2019s K-Monitor software enables remote monitoring and diagnostics.<\/p>\n<p>All loudspeakers were colour-matched to blend into the patterned interiors, while subwoofers were concealed beneath banquettes or integrated into joinery. The venue also uses DPA and Sennheiser microphones to accommodate live performances.<\/p>\n<p>K-array says its Pure Array Technology (PAT) was a key factor in the selection process, as it is designed to ensure even coverage and minimise acoustic hotspots. The system was modelled using the company\u2019s K-Framework software to fine-tune loudspeaker placement and performance before installation.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\">Joby Morris, project manager at Tateside, said: \u201cThe client requested a straightforward background music system that could easily be managed day-to-day by the team at Lilibet\u2019s. We focused on delivering a system that complemented the restaurant\u2019s design aesthetic and ensured balanced audio in every area.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\">Morris added: \u201cThe combination of the subs and Vypers together acts as a single full-range source. The result is not a typical background audio experience for diners; it is a very full and rich sound that suits the atmosphere of Lilibet\u2019s perfectly.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\">Ross Shonhan, chef and restaurateur at Lilibet\u2019s, said: \u201cThe Tateside team went above and beyond on this project. Their precise sound mapping of the space has delivered an audio experience unlike anything I\u2019ve heard before, and guests consistently remark on how impressive it is.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/b91d126c71d9514d5dd1b15ea8975f803ce42fd8717628fcb3d13c7c697f5d26\"  class=\"avatar avatar-50 photo\" height=\"50\" width=\"50\" decoding=\"async\"\/><\/p>\n<p>David has been writing about various forms of technology, including AV, for more than 20 years.
