How many times have you been in a restaurant where it was so loud, you couldn’t hear the person next to you? Through the use of sound dampening panels and other acoustical solutions, ListenUp’s Commercial Division has helped a number of restaurants and bars control the sound pressure levels so that customers and the staff can enjoy the music and hear their conversation.
One happy customer is Brian Rossi, who owns Palenque Cocina Y Agaveria on Main Street in Littleton. “We opened our first restaurant in 2013 on South Broadway,” Brian says. “It was basically a cement box, so the acoustics were crazy. We’d get all kinds of customer complaints that they couldn’t even hear themselves think when they were eating dinner there.” ListenUp Vice President Phil Murray was a regular at the restaurant and offered to help. “Fortunately, Brian had a black ceiling and we were able to put up some black Auralex foam panels. You could hardly see the panels and the impact was great,” says Murray. Brain says, “Almost immediately, the complaints stopped. Not only did the panels not take away from the aesthetics, but I feel they actually added to them. And they worked!”
