The room
Eavesdrop brings a living-room approach to a Greenpoint listening bar: small groups, records, drinks and Japanese-influenced food. Co-founder Dan Wissinger describes the inspiration as friends gathering at home to share music.

Sound system
Browse this venue’s gear ↗House Under Magic (Danny Taylor) designed room, system, acoustics and furniture as one project. Custom-painted Danley SH60 synergy horns as mains — two 12-inch lows, six 4-inch mids and a 1-inch HF sharing one horn mouth so the whole band behaves as a point source — with two concealed Seaton Submersive S2s, Bryston 7B SST amplification and a MasterSounds Radius 4V rotary. Synergy horns keep the Greenpoint living-room even as people stand and talk; hidden subs and a diffusion wall do the club job without looking like a club.
The yellow Danleys are the visual and the acoustic signature.

About the sound system
How the system serves the room
Eavesdrop combines Danley SH60 mains, Seaton Submersive S2 bass units and Bryston amplification within a room designed by House Under Magic. The concealed subwoofers and integrated furniture show that physical placement and interior design were considered alongside the equipment selection.
Separating bass reinforcement from the mains creates flexibility in where the low-frequency sources can sit. It also makes crossover, polarity and timing important around the handover region. The documented diffusion wall is part of that wider acoustic design; no measured coverage or response is claimed here.
Technical interpretation based on the documented equipment; selection motives and measured in-room performance are not confirmed.
