House Dublin, Dublin: Hospitality Sound System Case Study
The original and flagship venue in the “House” portfolio, House Dublin, Dublin is where it all began. Set in a charming Georgian townhouse, it offers an inviting mix of luxurious bedrooms, gourmet dining, and atmospheric bars.
Whether it’s breakfast meetings, garden soirées, or lively weekend celebrations, House Dublin thrives on mood, and mood needs sound.
House Dublin, Dublin Project Challenges
House Dublin’s charm lies in its many layers: indoor parlours, elegant lounges, and a lush outdoor garden. The challenge? Creating one coherent audio environment across varied acoustics, materials, and atmospheres.
We needed to:
- Create a sympathetic audio ambiance across multiple zones
- Seamlessly blend indoor and outdoor coverage
- Ensure intelligibility without intrusion
- Preserve architectural character with discreet equipment
- Provide consistent control for a busy team
Project Scope – AV Installation at House Dublin, Dublin.
Audiotek was brought in to:
- Design and implement a full-building audio solution
- Integrate speakers and amplification without compromising décor
- Provide coverage to all rooms, bars, event spaces, and garden areas
- Deliver flexible control options to allow easy transitions between day and night service
The goal: a system that sounded effortless, everywhere.
Design Approach to Hospitality Sound System
We selected Ecler as the brand of choice for this project. Reliable, stylish, and perfectly suited to hospitality applications.
Key design principles:
- Uniform speaker voicing for acoustic consistency across zones
- Zone-based system for individual area control
- Low-profile installation with ceiling and wall mounts
- Optimised SPL levels to enhance ambience without dominating it
he result was a multi-source, multi-zone system with minimal user input required. Elegant inside and out.
Key Innovations
- Outdoor Integration: Garden zones used weatherproof Ecler units, tuned to maintain warmth and clarity without breaching noise restrictions.
- Sympathetic Tuning: Every zone was EQ’d to suit its materials. Hardwood floors, glass ceilings, soft furnishings, all affecting reflection and absorption.
- Operational Flexibility: Venue staff can easily switch modes or adjust volumes for private functions, DJs, or relaxed daytime playlists.
- Architectural Sensitivity: Speaker placement respected the venue’s listed building status and preserved its unique character.

Commercial & Educational Insights
What House Dublin teaches us about audio in hospitality:
- Audio is an experience multiplier: Done right, it blends into the background yet sets the emotional tone.

- Outdoor zones need care: A warm, ambient garden system requires more than just volume, it needs tailored design.
- Elegant install = invisible tech: Hospitality audio should be felt, not seen.
