The room

Rue Saint-Sébastien wine-and-records room.

Custom Palladium Audio install: two Heritage 15 horns built into the record furniture, plus four Micro Monitors as fills. Building the mains into the record wall keeps the Rue Saint-Sébastien floor clear and puts the horns at ear height for seated listening; the four micros keep the restaurant and circulation from falling off-axis. Heritage 15s are efficient horn designs, so the wine-and-records room can play with authority without a nightclub stack.

About the sound system

How the system serves the room

Bambino uses its two Heritage 15 mains as part of the record furniture, with four Micro Monitors extending coverage. That combination addresses a practical restaurant problem: one main stereo pair may be prominent near the music area but less consistent elsewhere.

Distributed fills can help keep the programme audible without raising the main pair excessively. Their levels and any delay must be coordinated where coverage overlaps; the inventory supports that design reading, but the actual settings are not published.

Technical interpretation based on the documented equipment; selection motives and measured in-room performance are not confirmed.
