Galvin at Windows given JBL makeover

Galvin at Windows in London has been given a JBL sound system refit by the Sound Division Group. Offering peerless views over the city, the top London restaurant (on the 28th floor of the London Park Lane Hilton) opened in May 2006. With chef Chris Galvin at the helm, the restaurant quickly became one of the most talked about in London.


However, the one aspect of the bar's infrastructure that was found wanting was the sound system, and in due course general manager Fred Sirieix decided that in order to complete the perfect atmosphere this would need to be upgraded. "The old ceiling speaker system was not sufficiently powerful for our private events and there were ‘pockets' where there was no coverage," he said.

He was aware that back on the hotel's ground floor, the Sound Division Group had recently fitted out the chic Whisky Mist, operated by Piers Adam and Nick House, on the site of the famous Zeta Bar. Impressed by the outstanding performance of JBL's Control 29's in Whisky Mist, the same speakers were demonstrated, along with JBL Control 26CT ceiling speakers. The result was that this combination was specified as part of a complete sound package.
