Superior Sound Enhances Goa's Best Sunsets at Slow Tide Restaurant
The new installations by DAS Audio, supplied by AUDIO KRIS elevate Slow Tide to the next level
Slow Tide Restaurant in Anjuna, Goa, perfectly blends its rich Portuguese heritage with the
vibrant
nightlife for which the region is known. Featuring live music and DJ sets during the tourist season,
it has become a hotspot for both locals and tourists seeking an unforgettable mix of good food and
entertainment. However, when it came to designing the restaurant's sound system, a unique challenge
presented itself: the need for consistent sound quality and coverage in a beachfront setting, while
preserving the venue's aesthetics. Additionally, the sound system needed to perform equally well in
both relaxed atmospheres and lively parties, all while enduring harsh environmental factors such as
humidity, salt, and heat.
To address these concerns, AUDIO KRIS, a prominent rental and installation company in Goa,
was
brought in to conceptualize and execute the system. Known for its expertise in installations across
Goa's pubs, nightclubs, and restaurants, AUDIO KRIS turned to DAS Audio's WR series systems,
renowned for their resilience in extreme conditions and superior audio performance.
At the heart of the installation were the WR-8826-CX and WR-6415-CX models, both
featuring
cutting-edge technology designed to deliver uniform sound coverage. The WR-6415-CX is equipped with
a 15" transducer and a compression driver with a 3" titanium diaphragm, coupled with a 60°
x 40°
rotatable horn, ensuring bright and clear high frequencies. Meanwhile, the rugged
enclosures,
constructed from birch plywood, offer enhanced durability, ideal for the venue's beachfront
location.
To boost the low-end frequencies, two WR-151S and two WR-218S subwoofers were included in the
setup.
The WR-151S features a 15" loudspeaker with 800W RMS power handling and a frequency range
from 45Hz
to 125Hz. Complementing it, the WR-218S subwoofers come equipped with two 18"
speakers, offering a
power handling of 1600W RMS and an extended frequency range of 30Hz to 125Hz, making
them ideal for
the restaurant's energetic parties.
The new inventory also featured six PA-1500 power amplifiers and one PA-4000 power
amplifier. To
ensure even sound distribution and meet both environmental and technical demands, ARCO series
systems were installed, featuring enclosures made from high-impact ABS plastic for durability
and
uniform sound coverage. Audio management was expertly handled by the Integral series M-88
processor,
ensuring seamless system control. Karl da Costa's contribution was critical to the system's
overall
performance, as he played a key role in configuring the M-88's crossover.
The combination of DAS Audio's WR and ARCO series systems, along with expert management by AUDIO
KRIS, ensured that Slow Tide achieved unparalleled sound quality, even in the challenging beachfront
environment. "Working on the Slow Tide Restaurant project was a fantastic opportunity for us to
showcase the durability and sound quality of DAS Audio products. Our long-standing relationship with
DAS Audio allowed us to confidently meet the unique challenges posed by Goa's beachfront
environment, ensuring that both locals and tourists enjoy an exceptional audio experience," said
Cris Furtado, Managing Director at AUDIO KRIS.
With DAS Audio's superior systems in place, Slow Tide Restaurant now delivers not only stunning
views of Goa's sunsets but also an immersive audio experience that enhances every moment. The
durability and high-quality performance of the audio systems ensure that this exceptional sonic
experience will continue to delight patrons for years to come.
