Vibrant hidden gem

Some audio systems go unnoticed. The best ones form part of the experience without ever imposing themselves. This is all the more important in the hospitality sector, where the customer must be fully immersed in the musical atmosphere without it ever becoming overpowering.

That was precisely the aim of restaurant NONAM in Ghent, which entrusted ArtSound with realising their audio project from start to finish: from the analysis of their musical requirements – always provided free of charge by the ArtSound team – to the preparation of a bespoke quote and the final installation by a contractor.

We’d love to take you through this wonderful project!

Nonam is a boutique hotel, gourmet restaurant and wine bar located in Ghent. The owners (Arne van Wambeke and the renowned chef Karel Van Oyen) wanted to create a warm and refined atmosphere, where every detail contributes to the comfort of the guests. To enhance this interior, which combines marble, brass and contemporary design, a discreet yet high-performance audio solution was installed in the reception areas, the restaurant, the wine bar and the outdoor terrace.

Choice of indoor speakers

This authentic hidden gem, situated in the lively Patershol district of Ghent, naturally called for a top-quality audio system.

Inside, the speakers from the Universals series were chosen. Their sleek and contemporary design fits perfectly with the venue’s refined aesthetic, without disrupting the visual harmony of the spaces. As well as being discreet, they provide even and warm sound distribution, ideal for enhancing the customer experience in the restaurant, the wine bar and the communal areas.

Choice of outdoor speakers

The ASW55.2 loudspeakers were chosen for the outdoor terrace because of their robustness and their ability to deliver clear and powerful sound in an outdoor setting. Designed to withstand the elements whilst maintaining excellent audio quality, they ensure that the restaurant’s atmosphere extends outdoors and provide a consistent experience for all guests, regardless of where they are seated.

The end result? An audio system that is virtually invisible, but whose impact is immediately noticeable from the moment you step into the shop.
