CAPE MAY, NJ – Port Marina and Restaurant, formerly known as Harbor View, has reopened its doors after extensive renovations, offering visitors a unique dining experience on the waterfront of Cape May, New Jersey.
More details from K-array USA (www.k-arrayusa.com):
Part of Zest Restaurant Group, this informal outdoor eatery serves delicious seafood, refreshing drinks, and breathtaking views of the Cape May Harbor.
To complement this one-of-a-kind setting, the owners sought an audio solution that could withstand the harsh marine environment while delivering exceptional sound quality. They turned to K-array USA and local integrator, Nanotech Solutions, to bring their vision to life.
The venue will not only serve as a restaurant but also as an entertainment hotspot, featuring guest DJs and live music performances. This versatility demanded a sound system capable of handling various audio sources and volumes while maintaining clarity and quality.
The audio system at Port Marina showcases K-array’s innovative approach to speaker design, featuring a range of products that combine sleek aesthetics with powerful performance:
Six Kobra-KK102MX I line array elements: These marine-grade speakers are housed in durable stainless-steel frames and custom-finished with a reflective chrome effect. Boasting Pure Array Technology, the Kobra line produces a natural quality sound and offers a unique performance-to-size ratio.
Three Rumble-KU315 subwoofers: These ultra-slim passive subwoofers provide powerful low-end reinforcement while resisting tough weather conditions, making them ideal for outdoor installations.
Six Vyper-KV52MX II speakers: Also featuring marine-grade construction and a custom reflective chrome finish, these speakers are housed in elegant 2″-deep aluminum frames, making them the flattest speakers in K-array’s portfolio.
One Kommander-KA208 amplifier: This Class D amplifier offers pristine sound and complete control over the connected loudspeakers.
Two KGEAR GF82W I line array column speakers: These ultra-compact speakers provide additional coverage where needed.
One Truffle-KTR26 subwoofer: This compact sub adds extra low-end punch to round out the system.
All marine-grade speakers installed at Port Marina feature K-array’s specially developed finish for marine applications. This custom treatment allows the speakers to resist bad weather and oxidation caused by salt water, ensuring longevity in a coastal environment.
The Kobra and Vyper speakers were given a high reflective custom chrome effect finish, seamlessly blending with the restaurant’s aesthetic while providing powerful audio performance. This installation is an excellent example of K-array’s ability to deliver tailored audio solutions that meet both the functional and visual requirements of unique venues like Port Marina and Restaurant.
