Two restaurants sporting such characteristics from two cities – Jaipur and Pune – are tuned to the same ‘B’eat- the Beta Three sound.
This month, SIA India presents an account of these classy spaces, and their spatial audio infrastructure. Read on.

In the heart of the Rajasthan capital Jaipur, a new venue called Stardust has taken the Pink City’s otherwise casual lounging and dining scene by storm. What sets Stardust apart from the rest is not only its vibrant ambiance and delectable cuisine but also its commitment to providing an exceptional audio experience, with the venue featuring BetaThree’s N series of waterproof loudspeakers that have been designed with IP56 rating which make these versatile speakers perfect for outdoor settings, just like Stardust.
At Stardust, the open-air dining section has been equipped with multiple units of the N10TF – 10″ two-way full-range plastic body waterproof speakers, which provide an impressive sonic experience with their exceptional clarity and coverage. Designed to withstand the weathering elements, they are claimed to be the perfect choice for an outdoor setting like Stardust, as the speakers effortlessly fill the open space and ensure that guests can enjoy their meal whole-heartedly while immersing themselves in rich, high-quality sound.
The cabana section at Stardust, on the other hand, has been outfitted with the N8TF – 8″ two-way full-range plastic body waterproof speakers, which enhances the atmosphere within this section several times over with crystal clear sound reproduction. Plus, with the N8TF speakers designed to blend seamlessly with the surroundings, guests are able to enjoy a pristine audio experience, without any compromise on the venue’s aesthetic appeal.
To add an extra layer of depth and punch to the sound system, the venue also incorporates TW118B single 18″ subwoofers that have been strategically positioned throughout the venue, which ensures that the bass is felt as much as it is heard. Together, the N series speakers and TW118B subwoofers come together sublimely to create a cohesive and dynamic audio landscape at Stardust that is every bit well-balanced as it is impactful B3’s loudspeakers at Stardust are driven by the powerful DT series class-D amplifiers, that have been tuned to specifically meet the requirements of the venue. These amplifiers offer a comprehensive interface and simplified control functions, allowing easy adjustments and fine-tuning of the audio system while seamlessly integrating with the N series speakers, and ensuring optimal performance and reliability.
To further enhance the audio quality and optimize the system’s performance, Beta3’s ΣC2600U digital loudspeaker management units provide for precise digital processing. This advanced unit ensures that the audio signals are finely tuned, resulting in an even distribution of sound throughout the venue. The ΣC2600U’s flexible control capabilities and user-friendly interface enable the in-house audio crew and staff to take control in tailoring the sound to the specific requirements of each event – thereby providing for an unforgettable audio experience at any instance.
Favela – Gastro Sky Bar, Pune
Similar to Stardust, yet unique and distinct in its own right, Favela – Gastro Sky Bar is one of the newest additions to Pune city’s dining and nightlife scene. This brand new establishment is promising to deliver ultimate party destination and dining experience with its unique concept of handcrafted cocktails and gourmet cuisine prepared by master chefs.
“It is more than just a restaurant; it’s a rather complete experience that will leave you breathless,” say the Favela – Gastro Sky Bar Founders Sandeep Agrawal and Rakesh Meena. “From the moment you step inside, you’ll be transported to a world of luxury and indulgence,” they assert. “The atmosphere is vibrant and lively, with an aesthetic culture of living that will leave you awestruck.”
Calling on their vast experience and expertise as established restauranteurs, its quite clear that Favela – Gastro Sky Bar has been designed with a lot of love and care to offer something different and unique to the diners; and be a revolutionary addition of sorts to the city’s nightlife. This aspect comes shining through in the venue management’s decision to pay close attention to kind of technological infrastructure it chose to adorn the space with.
Beyond the enchanting lighting and décor, Favela offers a befitting soundscape to complement the ambience of the space; with the entire venue being adorned with a comprehensive audio architecture from Beta Three’s professional audio solutions.
A carefully selected mix of high performance loudspeakers like the ΣJ215- 15″ 2-way 15″ full-range passive speakers, along with the VX15a and VX12a two-way full-range active speakers have been deployed at strategic locations across the venue to offer optimum coverage and fidelity, while a very impactful low-frequency audio is flown in through multiple units of ΣJ218 dual18″ subwoofers placed at key locations along the venue floor.
The entire sound system is powered by DT series class-D amplification that precisely meets the power requirements of the loudspeaker system, with ΣC2600U digital speaker management processor expertly shouldering the responsibility of precise digital processing and overall loudspeaker management.
According to the team Favela, the entire audio solution deployed at Favela hits the right notes irrespective of the genre of music that’s played at the venue. “It’s hard not to take notice of the sound system here and just be amazed,” they say. “The experience is every bit as powerful as it is compelling.”
On the other hand, The Corner Lounge Sports Bar is a unique venue that has redefined the sports-themed dining and entertainment scene in Pune with its unique proposition that combines the flavours of delectable cuisines, the excitement of sports and the sheer aural bliss of a finely tuned high-performance loudspeaker system.
The ground level seating area, where guests indulge in delicious food and drinks along with a healthy dose of sport screenings and fun sporting activities; boasts the N10 and N12 loudspeakers, strategically positioned to distribute sound evenly. These compact yet powerful speakers reproduce the rich details of music, thereby enhancing the patrons’ enjoyment while dining and socializing.
At the same time, the upper mezzanine, utilizes the QS600 loudspeakers to provide crisp and dynamic sound, heightening the exciting aura of the venue. And finally, to ensure an impactful low-frequency response, multiple units of the ΣJ218 dual 18″ subwoofers have been strategically placed along the floorspace.
And driving this impressive loudspeaker system in total are Beta Three’s DT series class-D amplifiers that offer optimal performance and reliability, while reducing power consumption and minimizing heat dissipation. Not only does the efficiency value of these amplifiers contribute to a greener and more sustainable operation for The Corner Lounge Sports Bar, but the comprehensive interface and simplified control functions that they provide helps to ensure that the sound reproduction is optimized for different sections of the venue, guaranteeing an exceptional audio experience for every guest.
