1 SOUND Gear Installed in Mamani, Dallas RestaurantIn October 2025, Mamani, a fine dining destination in Dallas, earned a Michelin star, marking a milestone for the city's culinary scene. 1 SOUND recommended its partner in the area, Bespoke Technology Group, to design and install a custom audio system. Phil Ayache, president of Bespoke Technology Group, worked directly with Brandon Cohanim, co-owner of Feels like Home hospitality group, to achieve the restaurant's audio integration goals. "We brought him to one of our client's restaurants with 1 SOUND in Dallas, gave him full control over playback, and let him experience the system across a wide spectrum of music," Ayache says. "From classical to EDM, he was convinced -- this was the sound he wanted for Mamani. "Mamani's dining experience required sound that is present, immersive, yet unobtrusive, enhancing the meal without drawing attention to itself," Ayache continues. "Despite challenges like curved ceilings, hard walls, and Venetian plaster finishes, the system delivers clarity and depth in every corner of the restaurant." 1 SOUND's Cannon Series was selected. Made with silk dome tweeters, the units produce highly intelligible audio that works for an environment that encourages conversation around the dinner table, the company says. For the main dining areas and bar, Cannon C5is were deployed. Cannon C6is are deployed in the main foyer and near the chef's table to provide additional throw and SPL. In the private dining room, Bespoke used Cannon C4is. For distributed bass, 1 SOUND's SUB28s and Floor Sub FSUB45s were hidden inside banquets. For the outdoor patio seating, Cannon C5s were mounted and FSUB45s deployed in the planters. The audio system is driven by Powersoft Unica amplifiers. The Cannons feature discreet 1 Sound Swivel Mounts that provide precise horizontal and downward aiming. The SUB28 subwoofers are strategically fitted into banquette seating, directing energy outward, minimizing vibration and resonance in diners' seats. "There is an impressive amount of sound pressure those subs put out without being disruptive to anyone sitting on them," Ayache says. "Brandon sat on top of every single sub in the restaurant just to make sure. I love clients that care that much about the result that they want it to be perfect for the diners and even throughout the space. It sounds great. They've hired us for a couple more projects that we've already started. And we are actually redoing a couple of their pre-existing venues, which we are putting 1 SOUND into. We are excited about that." Bespoke led the design and installation, consulting 1 SOUND on speaker placement, tuning, and custom design. 1 SOUND's Custom Shop worked closely to match the painted walls and wood finishes throughout the bar and dining areas, ensuring the system integrated seamlessly into the restaurant's interiors. Post-install, 1 SOUND provided onsite tuning and commissioning. Brandon Cohanim, owner of Mamani, says. "1 SOUND's presence alone speaks volumes about how much the company cares, not just about the product, but about how it sounds and feels in the spaces it's installed. The fact that the 1 SOUND's team came out personally to ensure the sound would be as incredible as it should be is something I deeply value."
