Rooftop lounge / bar — discreet background music, 14 x 9 m

Lounge audio is a hospitality decision before an audio one: music should be felt everywhere and noticed nowhere. The standard is an even, low background level held across the whole seating area against a noise floor of conversation, service and open-air ambience, from cabinets that disappear into the interior.

The preset assumes a 14 x 9 m lounge, a restaurant-BGM target, a listener distance of about 5 m and a 45% power setting for background headroom rather than peak. The cabinet shown is a K-array Vyper KV25, an ultra-slim wide-dispersion line source TechnoGuru works with where the application fits; other compact point sources and slim line sources produce the same input shape, so compare in the dropdown.

Read the SPL at the listener against the low target (the planner flags excess headroom as wasteful in a background application) and the coverage radius, then step cabinets along the lounge perimeter so their wide horizontal spread overlaps and leaves no quiet corners. The suggested quantity is a baseline from area-divided-by-coverage that a real design refines around bars, obstructions and open edges.

This preset does not model the open-air roll-off and wind of a rooftop, the zoning between bar, seating and any DJ position that usually sits on separate amplifier channels, weatherisation for exposed cabinets, or the low-end support a slim line source needs from a discreet subwoofer. Final make, model and quantity are selected after drawings and site conditions are reviewed and remain subject to project requirement, consultant or client approval and availability.
