Restaurant Sound

[Ximat]

Good Day,
 
I know this area is for home theaters, but the knowledge on this forum is priceless, and do not know where else to go.
 
I am working with a restaurant on re-wiring all their systems, data, phone, alarm, speakers, etc.
 
I am to the speaker part and need help, as this is not my forte.
 
The restaurant has two seperate dining areas, and a patio.
 
DR1 has 9 speakers
DR 2 has 4 speakers
Patio has 2 speakers
Restroom has 1 speker each (2 total)
 
I'd also like to add speakers in the kitchen area.
 
Each area would need seperate volume controls.
 
There would then be one receiver input.
 
In the future we would *LIKE* to add DR2's TV to the speakers in DR2, but notin the other zones.
 
Could someone help me undertake this project?
 
Thank you for your time,
X

A distributor like Automated Outlet or Worthington would love to help you, if you buy equipment from them.

Just a short reply - you're not doing different audio zones - so you'll be looking at a 70V distribution system.  Start googling that and compatible volume controls.

When you say DR1 has 9 speakers...  are you saying that it literally already HAS them or that you are planning to add them?

The speakers are already installed.  So yes, it literally has that many speakers.  Same as DR2, Outdoors, and Bathrooms.

That's what I was thinking...

That being the case, do you know if these speakers are already designed for a 70V system, or if they are standard 8-ohm speakers?

There is certainly a lot more information available, but here is a quick read regarding 70V systems: http://www.belden.com/blog/broadcastav/All-About-70-volt-Speaker-Systems.cfm
