Dubbed the Green Pearl of the Adriatic thanks to its tree-lined streets, parks and gardens, the town of Riccione on Italy’s Adriatic coast has attracted visitors since the thirties. Its appeal continues today, with clubs in the surrounding hills, beach and spa facilities and its main drag, Viale Ceccarini, buzzing day and night.
This same street recently saw the opening of The Balena (The Whale) Lounge Bar by the Villa Delle Rose and Peter Pan group, a venue offering a combination of taste, style and design, in a spot once occupied by the Trussardi Boutique.
Already acknowledged as one of the most refined lounge bars on the Romagna Riviera, the venue it equipped with an Outline loudspeaker system. ‘It’s not a disco in the town centre – we cater for a clientele aged from 25-30 upwards who want to pass an evening in a stylish setting, but also enjoy a music selection that is not only refined but above all reproduced well,’ says Marco Tiraferri on behalf of the group that also manages the Villa delle Rose and Peter Pan clubs.
‘Music plays a key role in creating the right atmosphere in all environments – even more so in the case of a lounge bar, which must have top-grade music reproduction, and a good sound system on which time and care have been spent from the drawing board stage can make all the difference.
‘The Outline brand was chosen due to our desire to ensure clients premium quality audio to accompany them from breakfast to dinner and from champagne tasting sessions to the great selection of dishes proposed by our chefs. The Outline sound literally knocked us out. However, the only way to find out if a perfect job’s been done is to come here and listen.’
The Outline set-up at the Balena comprises 11 new Vegas 4 miniature loudspeakers and four Sub 110s, in a system configuration that was designed and installed by Emporio On Stage from Scandicci (Florence).
