Casa Playa was built around a clear vision. Nothing visible. Everything intentional. Working within a tightly defined design, the system was fully integrated into the architecture and décor, preserving every detail of the space while delivering consistent, immersive sound. From concealed ceiling placements to speakers embedded within the environment itself, every element was designed to disappear, supporting the atmosphere without drawing attention. Funktion One Research Ltd., L-Acoustics, FULL FAT AUDIO LIMITED, and NST Audio Ltd. No visual compromise. Just sound, exactly where it needs to be. #SoundInvestmentAudio #HospitalityTechnology #AVIntegration #ExperienceDesign #LuxuryHospitality #WynnLasVegas #RestaurantIndustry

Mizumi at Wynn Las Vegas is designed as an experience in motion. From intimate omakase to high energy teppanyaki to serene dining overlooking the koi pond, every room carries its own rhythm. Our role was to rebuild the entire audio system from the ground up without disrupting a space that had just completed a full renovation. No visible speakers. No disturbed finishes. No compromise. Working within sculptural overhead timber elements, every component had to disappear. Funktion One Research Ltd. loudspeakers and subwoofers were pocketed into soffits, color matched to surrounding materials, and in some cases mounted above ceiling timbers. FULL FAT AUDIO LIMITED amplification and NST Audio Ltd processing power a system that is heard but never seen. The new system delivers clarity, depth, and even coverage throughout, adapting to each dining environment while preserving Mizumi’s refined aesthetic. #SoundInvestmentAudio #HospitalityTechnology #AudioIntegration #LuxuryHospitality #ExperienceDesign #AVIntegration #RestaurantIndustry

Sound Investment takes Marquee Las Vegas to the next level with a Funktion-One Vero VX90i system. One of the Strip's most iconic clubs - a 40,000 sq ft venue inside the Cosmopolitan Hotel, long credited with ushering in the rise of electronic music to Las Vegas - has undergone a full reinvention. Stripped back and rebuilt from the ground up, Marquee's transformation sets a new benchmark in one of the world's most competitive nightlife markets. Photos by Joe Janet.

What can happen in one week? SW Steakhouse underwent a disciplined, tightly executed audio retrofit completed in just seven days. The existing ceiling remained untouched as we executed one for one replacements of every in-ceiling speaker using Sonance models that matched the original cutouts exactly. The previous system lacked depth and low frequency presence, so we introduced discreet Funktion One Research Ltd. and One Sound subwoofers to bring warmth and dimension back into the room. The result is a fuller, more immersive soundscape that complements the richness and theatricality of the space without drawing attention to itself. Behind the scenes, we modernized the technical backbone with FULL FAT AUDIO LIMITED amplification and NST Audio Ltd processing. Cleaner signal flow. Greater control. Long-term reliability suited for one of Las Vegas’ premier dining experiences. #SoundInvestmentAudio #AudioIntegration #HospitalityTechnology #LuxuryHospitality #AVIntegration #RestaurantIndustry #WynnLasVegas

Pisces Bar and Seafare | Wynn Las Vegas | Audio Design and Integration Design Condition - No visible loudspeakers permitted. No compromise to the architectural rhythm. Acoustic Reality - Traditional downward firing placement would collide with the ceiling structure, causing obstruction and reflection. Sound paths had to be calculated in three dimensions, not just across a floor plan. Our Approach - Custom sheetrock cavities constructed above the finished ceiling to house an all Funktion One Research Ltd. system of mid highs and subwoofers. Amplified by FULL FAT AUDIO LIMITED and controlled via NST Audio Ltd. Each circular ceiling grill serves as a visual decoy. Behind it, every loudspeaker is rotated to a precise clock position based on surrounding geometry. In some locations, drivers fire from 7 o’clock to clear a wood drop. In others, from 3 o’clock to avoid reflection and maintain coverage. The ceiling remains an uninterrupted artistic feature. The sound travels exactly where it needs to. Turned over to Wynn January 2025. Opened Spring 2025. 🔊 #SoundInvestmentAudio #PiscesBar #WynnLasVegas #AudioIntegration #HospitalityDesign #LuxuryHospitality #ProAudio

Denver Union Station is where the city’s living history meets modern hospitality, and its audio needed to meet that same standard. Sound Investment upgraded the Great Hall and F&B spaces with a full suite of Funktion-One loudspeakers, Bag End low-frequency support, and BSS Audio and NST Audio Ltd processing powered by FFA-5004HD amplification. The system was designed to enhance bars and lounges while controlling audio bleed to maintain a quiet, ambient experience in the guest corridors above. Working within this landmark building, our team used existing lighting features to deliver seamless coverage without disrupting the historic aesthetic. In the Cooper Lounge, strategic mid/high placement along the south wall created an acoustic barrier that minimizes noise from the Great Hall below, allowing guests to enjoy both music and conversation comfortably. This is hospitality elevated through intentional system design. Funktion One Research Ltd. FULL FAT AUDIO LIMITED #audiodesign #luxuryhoteldesign #luxuryhotels #funktionone

Sound Investment Audio delivered a refined, controlled soundscape to Aba Nashville, our first project in Music City. Using a QSys control system with RCF, Tannoy, and BagEnd speakers powered by Powersoft amplification, we engineered a solution for an acoustically challenging space. Through thoughtful acoustic collaboration with the Lettuce Entertain You team and a deliberately dense speaker layout, we were able to tame the room, achieving clarity, consistency, and conversational comfort throughout. Aba Nashville brings a warm, Mediterranean-inspired dining experience to the Gulch, constructed by Powell with interiors by Avril Zayas and Marc Jacobs. The 8,700 sq ft dining room, 2,800 sq ft patio, and seating for more than 300 guests are all designed to capture the spirit of coastal summers and elevated hospitality. High-end spaces deserve high-end audio, and this Nashville debut sets the tone. #soundinvestmentaudio #proav #hospitalitydesign #acousticdesign #nashvillehospitality

We are deeply saddened to share the passing of Tom Van Beek, who had been a part of the Sound Investment family since 2010. Tom was an incredibly talented project manager and a true professional—steady under pressure, deeply knowledgeable, and always committed to doing things the right way. He played a meaningful role in countless projects over the years, and his impact on our team and our clients will not be forgotten. Beyond his work, Tom was simply a good guy. Kind, generous with his time and knowledge, and someone people genuinely enjoyed working with. He built real relationships here, and he will be missed not just for what he did, but for who he was. Our thoughts are with Tom’s family, friends, and everyone who had the privilege of working alongside him. Rest in peace, Tom.

Our team delivered a high-energy AV system design and installation for Sushi-San Nashville, tailored to the restaurant’s mix of fresh Japanese cuisine, warm hospitality, and golden-era hip hop. The system features BagEnd speakers and subwoofers, Powersoft amplification, a QSC control platform, and Tannoy speakers on the patio—giving the entire space balanced, energetic coverage from the dining room to the outdoors. Sushi-San leans into ‘90s and ‘00s hip hop and attracts a younger late-night crowd, so we engineered an environment with higher SPL and more headroom than a typical restaurant, while still keeping the sound clean, controlled, and energetic. The result is a sonic experience that enhances the atmosphere without overpowering it. As Lettuce Entertain You Restaurants second Nashville opening, Sushi-San is already making waves. Our AV brings the vibe to life and keeps the experience running strong from lunch to late night.
