#ThrowbackTuesday: Buddha-Bar Manila
When Buddha-Bar Manila set out to redefine Manila’s nightlife and dining experience in 2012, one thing was clear: the audio had to match the bar’s luxury, sophistication, and multi-level design. Guests should feel enveloped in sound — not overwhelmed by it.
The Challenge
The venue spanned multiple floors, including dining areas, lounges, VIP rooms, a DJ booth, and an outdoor deck. Each zone required consistent, premium sound while maintaining a balance between energy and intimacy. The goal was not just volume — it was clarity, warmth, and immersion in every corner of the bar.
The AVLS Solution
AVLS designed and installed a full Meyer Sound + Crestron system, selecting equipment carefully to match each zone’s needs:
- Meyer Sound MM-4XP miniature loudspeakers for discreet, high-quality coverage
- MM-10 subwoofers for controlled, deep bass
- Larger Meyer systems for high-energy areas like the dance floor and outdoor deck
- Crestron control for seamless one-touch adjustments across the venue
The result was a luxurious, immersive audio experience that elevated every moment — from dinner to lounge to nightlife.
Precision, immersion, and seamless control across every level.
Recognition
This installation was also featured by Meyer Sound, where AVLS was acknowledged as the systems integrator behind the project — a proud moment for our team.
Legacy
Though Buddha-Bar Manila has since closed, this project remains a testament to thoughtful system design, technical expertise, and world-class AV-IT integration. It’s a reminder of what’s possible when technology, creativity, and intention come together to craft unforgettable experiences.
Creating immersive audio experiences that leave a lasting impression.
