Based in Laguna Hills, California, dB Media Services is a provider of audio and video solutions for installation and live events in a wide variety of settings, including conference rooms, houses of worship, corporate events and hospitality venues. Specialising in high quality AV solutions for commercial premises, dB Media Services has been a trusted supplier in the region since 2005.
When new owners OC Local acquired the long established The Pizza Store in Laguna Hills, they engaged Dan Burdett of dB Media Services to provide a new audio system that would deliver premium quality at a competitive price. dB had previously tidied up a third-party install at one of the restaurant group’s other venues and OC Local were keen to achieve the same audio standards for their remodelled new venue.
Burdett recommended, designed and installed an Optimal Audio system for The Pizza Store: “Optimal Audio was a great option for this project because of its high performance/low cost ratio. Restaurants don’t always have the required budget available for media technology, so the Optimal Audio product matched the needs of the budget without any audio compromise, as well as meeting the high performance standards expected by dB Media.”
The refurbished store comprises a dining area of more than twelve-hundred square feet, accommodating sixty to eighty guests who are able to watch sports on eight 4K 65” displays. dB Media Services installed four Optimal Audio Cuboid 8 two-way, passive 8” loudspeakers with yoke mounts, distributed equidistantly on the ceiling, supported by a single Sub 10 low-profile, sub bass loudspeaker, also ceiling mounted in a central position. A single Optimal Audio SmartAmp 30 4 by 250W amplifier with integral DSP drives the system.
Dan Burdett concluded: “The system was trouble-free, straightforward to install and sounds great. The client is very happy with the high performance and value offered by the Optimal Audio products.”
