Marking the company’s 60th anniversary, Sergio Tomassone opened a flagship MI retail store in Rome, complete with a Yamaha CIS background music system to support the instruments that the shop sells.
The company has consistemtly stocked Yamaha instruments, and current owner Davide Tomassone contacted Yamaha Italia sales engineer Gabriele Romeo to design an audio system for the new store. The brief was to deliver the best possible background music system.
Romeo worked with fellow Yamaha Italia sales engineer Marco Giovanetti to design a flexible four-zone system to cover the store’s main desk area, the acoustic guitar and digital piano departments and the outdoor area around the store’s front doors.
CIS products were chosen to cover the main desk are with VXC6 ceiling loudspeakers, while the guitar and piano zones respectively are equipped with VXS5 and VXS5W wall-mounted speakers, and the front door area VS6 wall-mounted units. A Yamaha MTX5D matrix mixer is used to distribute the audio, with an XMV8280 power amplifier driving the system. Music sourced from CD and MP3 plays in each zone, with two wall-mounted DCP4V4SEU units offering straightforward control for staff.
‘We have been selling Yamaha instruments for many years, the sound of which has been always accurate and rich,’ says Tomassone. ‘It has been a real surprise for me to discover that same quality, richness, presence and definition of sound in the Yamaha audio system installed in our new Rome store. It has massively exceeded my expectations.’
