A multi-brand sound system blends vocal clarity, deep bass and distinctive design

Inspired by Mexico’s vibrant cantina culture, Mezcalita brings Latin American flavours, colourful surroundings and lively street-party energy to Mumbai. With Spanish-language music central to the venue’s atmosphere, the audio installation was designed to deliver natural, detailed vocals and impactful bass without relying on excessive volume.

Led by owner Prashant Nair, KKS implemented a multi-brand solution combining LEA Professional, Sonance, HH Audio and Optimal Audio. The system includes two LEA Professional 354 units for amplification and control, six Sonance IS8T loudspeakers, two HH Audio 18-inch subwoofers and two Optimal Audio Cuboid 8 loudspeakers for additional coverage.

A distinctive feature is the creative treatment of the Sonance invisible speakers. Rather than concealing them entirely, Prashant chose to colour the speakers, turning them into design elements that complement the venue’s visual identity while integrating sound into the interiors.

The Sonance IS8T loudspeakers reproduce vocals with clarity and detail, while the HH Audio subwoofers provide low-frequency depth and physical impact. Optimal Audio Cuboid 8 loudspeakers help maintain consistent coverage across the space.

LEA Professional’s built-in presets, equalisation and digital signal processing help integrate the loudspeakers and subwoofers into a cohesive system. Its IoT-enabled remote monitoring capabilities also support system oversight and preventative maintenance. AirPlay provides a convenient digital music source, completing an installation tailored to Mezcalita’s distinctive ambience.
