Stella Nova in Sint-Niklaas is a contemporary brasserie located at the provincial domain De Ster, where warmth and elegance come together in a refined hospitality setting. Opened in early 2026, the venue welcomes guests throughout the day for breakfast, lunch, and private arrangements, including celebrations, business meetings, and exclusive events, while also offering additional facilities such as a dedicated meeting space. To support this versatile concept, a flexible audio solution was required, capable of delivering both subtle background ambiance and more energetic sound levels for events.
Delivered in collaboration with AUDAC Certified Partner Pro Gear, the installation is built around the LUNA-F audio matrix processor, enabling flexible audio distribution and independent control across multiple zones. This allows different areas of the venue to operate with tailored audio sources, including TV, music servers, and streaming services, while also supporting external inputs for DJs, live performances, and wireless microphones.
Amplification is handled by SMQ500 and SMQ750 WaveDynamics™ power amplifiers, ensuring reliable performance and consistent sound quality across all zones. This provides sufficient headroom to smoothly transition between background music and more dynamic playback without compromising clarity.
The loudspeaker setup, modeled using EASE software, consists of a combination of VEXO108 and VIRO5 loudspeakers, delivering clear and balanced sound throughout the venue. Complemented by BASSO112, BASSO115, BASSO118, and an ARCHI210 subwoofer, the system adds depth and warmth, creating an immersive yet controlled audio experience.
Control is managed via the AUDAC Touch™ platform, fully tailored to the needs of the venue, allowing intuitive adjustment of volume, sources, and zones throughout the day.
The result is a compact and versatile AUDAC audio solution that enhances the overall atmosphere of Stella Nova, combining flexibility, ease of use, and consistent sound performance in a refined hospitality environment.
