Cactus Club Crowfoot - Integrated AV with Ambiance




Cactus Club Cafe, known for its vibrant ambiance and culinary excellence, faced a unique challenge with their newest building in Calgary Crowfoot. Integrating speakers and displays into its aesthetic design without compromising quality. In their quest for a solution, they turned to Sapphire for guidance and expertise.


Cactus Club Crowfoot aimed to blend audiovisual into their restaurant's signature ambiance, ensuring a consistent sound experience that resonates with the brand's commitment to creating inviting and enjoyable dining atmospheres. They prioritized maintaining a balanced audio environment, allowing patrons to immerse themselves in the Cactus Club experience without ever feeling inundated by excessive volume levels.


Sapphire collaborated closely with the Cactus Club Crowfoot team to address any challenges that arose during the new build process. Their expertise and support ensured a smooth integration of audio and video solutions into the restaurant's design.


Product choices for this project aligned with Cactus Club's requirement to remotely support the restaurant. With a Q-SYS backbone and Wyrestorm AV over IP video distribution, this project allows for full remote serviceability and troubleshooting of the entire audiovisual system. This strategic choice ensured that Cactus Club Crowfoot could efficiently maintain their audio systems, including the ability to hard boot devices when necessary.


The collaboration between Cactus Club Crowfoot and Sapphire resulted in a harmonious audiovisual experience for patrons. By strategically placing speakers and implementing QSC's technology, the restaurant achieved consistent volume levels throughout the space. Guests can now enjoy their dining experience without the distraction of fluctuating sound levels, creating a more immersive and enjoyable atmosphere overall.


In addition to audio, Sapphire was able to provide a full AV over IP video distribution system using the Wyrestorm product line with almost 20 endpoints. This distribution allows for fully matrixed routing from any of their seven video sources to any of the LG displays or Panasonic projectors allowing Cactus Club the ultimate flexibility.


Sapphire's partnership with Cactus Club Crowfoot exemplifies the importance of thoughtful audiovisual integration in enhancing the overall ambiance of a restaurant. By leveraging cutting-edge technology and expertise, they successfully addressed the challenge of seamlessly incorporating speakers, displays and projectors into the restaurant's design while maintaining optimal sound and video quality. The result is a dining environment where patrons can enjoy both exceptional cuisine and an immersive audiovisual experience, making Cactus Club Crowfoot a standout destination for dining and socializing.
