Whistling Sisters is one of the most interesting bars around Wellington. Situated in the centre of town, this Craft Beer Brewery has an amazing range of beers and ciders brewed on site.

The sound system was based around an Akai reel-to-reel tape machine as the main audio source, which is placed in prime position in the bar. The brief was for a stereo hi-fi style system so designed using a number of FBT Project660 6.5″/1″wall speakers, complemented by CLA208SA dual 8″ subwoofers to extend the low frequencies.

A function room upstairs is treated as a separate zone and can be hired out for functions. It incorporates a great view of the brewery which adds to the total craft brewery experience.

Control is handled by a Bosch PLM Matrix DSP via an iPad running the Plena Matrix App. Due to the Hi-Fi spec, the main bar is run in stereo at low impedance via the FBT AX1200 dual channel power amplifiers. Amplification for the Function Room, Brewery, Toilets and future outdoor zones are handled by a BOSCH PLM-4P220 4 x 220w power amplifier.

The end result is a high quality system capable of high SPL without any ear fatigue to make sure customers stay taste the amazing brews for longer.
