Bar Giselle – Düsseldorf

Located on Oststraße in the heart of Düsseldorf, Bar Giselle was our very first project and a defining milestone for our brand. The vision was clear: create a sound system that delivers both refined bar ambience and uncompromising club energy within the same space.

To achieve this, we designed and built a full Oberheim PA Soundsystem, engineered specifically for the room’s architecture and its dual-purpose concept.

The Challenge

Bar Giselle is designed to be highly adaptable. On some nights, it operates as an elegant cocktail bar with curated background music. On others, it transforms into a high-intensity techno club with a packed dance floor and a DJ driving the crowd.

The key challenges were:

• Delivering powerful, club-grade sound without overwhelming guests during regular bar service
• Ensuring consistent sound coverage across the entire venue
• Integrating the system seamlessly into the interior design
• Optimizing room acoustics for clarity, warmth, and controlled low-end.
  

The Solution

We developed a tailor-made Oberheim Soundsystem consisting of:

• 2 Oberheim PA Horns positioned directly at the DJ booth, delivering focused, high-impact sound for the dance floor
• 8 Oberheim PA Hornys distributed strategically throughout the room to create immersive, evenly balanced coverage, also used for DJ Monitoring

This configuration ensures:

• Punchy, dynamic but still HiFi sound on the dance floor
• Warm, controlled ambience across seating areas
• Seamless transition between lounge atmosphere and club intensity

Acoustic Optimization

Beyond the loudspeaker system, we placed strong emphasis on acoustic treatment. The room was carefully adjusted to:

• Reduce unwanted reflections
• Control low-frequency build-up
• Improve speech intelligibility during bar operation
• Preserve energy and clarity during high-volume club nights

The result is a space that feels alive, controlled, and musically precise at any sound level.

The Result

Bar Giselle can now shift effortlessly between two identities:

• Sophisticated bar experience with balanced, detailed sound
• Full-scale techno club with powerful, physical impact on the dance floor

The Oberheim Soundsystem delivers depth, warmth, and pressure — without compromise.

As our first completed project, Bar Giselle set the standard for what our systems represent: Purpose-built sound architecture, tailored to space, concept, and experience.
