With chef Chris Galvin at the helm, the restaurant quickly became one of the most talked about in London, as patrons either headed right into the restaurant or left into the elegant cocktail bar on exiting the lift.
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.
Sirieix had worked with the Sound Division Group in a previous guise - back in his days as general manager of another London bar/restaura

"The response from customers was overwhelming, especially in view of the generally lower key atmosphere surrounding this year's show, and the Red Square Audio stand was clearly a target destination for those looking to judge for themselves whether VQ sounds as good as reports suggest. Some visitors had first heard VQ Series at last year's show and were retu
The lift is designed for those requiring a quick set-up for their line array. The PA is loaded directly on to the forks of the lift, cranked up and in a matter of minutes the system is suspended from the lift and ready to play.
