US: Mezzo Calzones is a brand new eatery in the Southern Californian city of Anaheim. Specialising in calzones, beer and wings, and located close to the Anaheim Angels stadium, the restaurant is certain to become the favourite haunt of Major League Baseball fans attending games at the venue. Sports-focused, with multiple TV screens showing a variety of events, Mezzo engaged IT/AV specialist integrator Hosted Connection to install all its IT/network and AV systems.
Hosted Connection enjoys a strong reputation in the region, having supplied customised solutions to businesses for more than a decade. Sales Engineer Josh Rezaeio oversaw the project:
“Audio and video are relatively recent additions to our remit, so we consulted with expert Jeff Miranda (then at Allied ProTech) about delivering a high-quality, zoned audio system for Mezzo which would be easy to control for busy staff. His extensive knowledge and experience were instrumental in helping us deploy the right products. He recommend an Optimal Audio system and having taken into account the layout of the TV screens, specified the equipment required for the audio and video elements.”
Host Connection installed a system based round an Optimal Audio Zone 4, 4-zone audio controller with DSP and WebApp, which comprised twelve Up 6 two-way passive, full-range 6” ceiling speakers, and two Cuboid 5 two-way, full-range, passive 5” on-wall loudspeakers, driven by a single SmartAmp 30, 4 x 250W amplifier with DSP. As well as control via WebApp on mobile devices, a ZonePad 4 wall controller was installed to provide staff with intuitive and simple access to the essential controls for the system.
Josh continues:
“Optimal Audio has been incredibly easy to work with, and we’ll continue to use the ecosystem for future projects. At Mezzo, the user-friendly and highly configurable system was very easy to install and delivered outstanding sound quality throughout the venue, with perfect clarity both inside and out. The client loves the system’s performance and ease of use.”
