Tateside installs 1 Sound across Soho Mews House members’ club

The latest iteration of the Soho House members club experience, Soho Mews House, promises a next-level of exclusivity with membership extended to only the most long-standing of the brand’s patrons on an invite-only basis. Designed with a more refined and mature atmosphere in mind, the new Mayfair club reimagines the early days of the Soho House brand.

Opened in October 2024, the launch party brought together a guestlist spanning from James Corden to Stanley Tucci and Olivia Coleman, with invitees serenaded by Nick Cave. London-based integrators Tateside led the AV integration at the new premises, strengthening their already long-standing relationship as a technology partner of Soho House across all its sites in the capital.

“We were approached with a design-led brief to install an audio system to match the interiors of new Mews House”, explains Jack Cornish, Technical Director at Tateside. “We felt that 1 Sound was a perfect match for this, so we designed a system based around their custom-finished loudspeakers.” The project comprised audio across the ground, first and second floors, including the reception area, the Piano Bar, a main dining room and a live performance space, the Half Moon Bar. 1 Sound’s wood-stained finished and custom-coloured loudspeakers fit the bill when it came to ensuring the interiors remained undisturbed.

In the Piano Bar, which has already hosted the likes of Jools Holland and Macy Gray, Tateside opted for 1 Sound’s C6 loudspeakers and WSub45s which are used for both acoustic Piano and DJ performances. The Piano was fitted with DPA microphones. To keep things simple, a Skaarhoj motorised fader bank was installed, allowing for basic microphone control without a bulky mixing desk or the need for a sound tech on site. 1 Sound monitors in a matching wood stain finish are placed on the piano and the DJ booth.

Upstairs in the main dining room, Tateside opted for 1 Sound’s compact C4 coaxial loudspeakers and MiniSub5 subwoofers, the latter of which were installed under banquette seats. “In the private dining room, MiniSub5s were positioned above the draped fabric ceilings, allowing us to integrate audio with a small footprint and minimal visual impact”, says Cornish.

Finally, the Half Moon Bar, a live performance area on the second floor, is equipped with 1 Sound’s Tower column cardioid loudspeaker systems, complemented by further C6 units and WSub45 wall subs. Wood stain and cream finishes continue the interior theme, whilst the cardioid pattern of the column systems is effective at controlling noise on the stage in such a tight space, boasting -20 dB rear attenuation. “In the performance space, the loudspeakers are clearly on display, but still integrate nicely thanks to custom finishes”, says Cornish. “The wood stain matches the joinery, so they naturally look the part.”

Furthermore, due to the Q-Sys control backend, the rooms support multiple modes, switching from DJ mode to live performance mode, which includes audio EQ and automatic time alignment shifting. DMX show lighting is tied in through Q-Sys, with control via an Apple iPad or simplified switching via Pragma wall panels on each floor.
