Great food delights the palate. Great sound completes the experience. At Afters by Meliaa, Yamaha brings both together in perfect harmony.

“A Refined Atmosphere Where Sound and Design Work in Perfect Harmony.”

Afters by Meliaa is a sophisticated dining destination in Chandigarh, India, best known for its seamless blend of Mediterranean, Turkish, and Indian influences. With its contemporary interiors, handcrafted cocktails, and expertly curated menu, Afters by Meliaa stands as an ideal venue for fine dining, social gatherings, and memorable evenings in the city. Every detail of the guest experience is meticulously refined, and the team behind Meliaa aimed to ensure that the audio environment complemented the same level of excellence.

The team at Afters by Meliaa set out to elevate their ambiance with a high quality audio system that would blend naturally into the space and enrich the dining experience without overpowering conversation. They wanted a flexible soundscape that shifts effortlessly from calm daytime moods to lively evening energy, all in harmony with the restaurant’s refined aesthetic.

To achieve this, Afters partnered with Kshitij Mendiratta, from Raj Enterprises, a trusted hospitality audio integrator, with Yamaha Music India (YMIN), providing expert guidance on system design and configuration to ensure the perfect acoustic fit.

“Discreet Yamaha Installation Delivering Even, Unobtrusive Coverage.”

For a high‑end venue like Afters by Meliaa, the goal was to create an audio experience that matched its refined ambiance. The Yamaha team needed to engineer a system that could shift seamlessly from calm daytime dining to energetic evening moods, while staying invisible within the décor.

✔ Multi‑Mood Flexibility

The system had to deliver warm background music during dining hours, fuller energy later in the night, and maintain clear, consistent sound at any volume.

✔ Seamless Aesthetic Integration

With the restaurant’s contemporary interiors, speakers needed to blend naturally into the space and provide uniform coverage across all seating zones without disrupting the visual design.

✔ Power, Precision & Reliability

Afters required high‑fidelity output, controlled low frequencies, dependable performance during busy hours, and the ability to scale the system in the future.

Balancing performance with aesthetics demanded precise product selection and Yamaha’s engineering expertise, ensuring the final solution elevated the venue’s atmosphere in every way.

“Flexible Sound Performance from Daytime Dining to Evening Energy.”

Understanding Meliaa’s acoustic needs and brand ethos, Raj Enterprises designed and installed a high performance Yamaha system tailored to the venue’s ambiance and operational flow.

1. Core System: Yamaha CZR Series

The CZR series speakers form the foundation of the sound environment. Known for:

• High power handling
• Exceptional clarity
• Efficient coverage for medium sized venues

they deliver clean, dynamic audio that enhances guest experience without distortion—even when the venue gets lively.

2. Deep, Controlled Bass with CXS Subwoofers

To add depth and warmth especially for late evening atmospheres Yamaha CXS subwoofers were integrated. These subs offer:

• Tight, musical low end response
• Smooth crossover with CZR tops
• Consistent bass distribution without overpowering the space

3. PX Series Amplifiers—The Power Behind the System

The system is powered by Yamaha PX series amplifiers, providing:

• Intelligent DSP for fine tuning the room’s acoustics
• High output efficiency
• Reliable performance for long operating hours

This helps Meliaa staff maintain control over sound levels for different time periods or event formats.

System Highlights

• Uniform coverage across all dining zones
• Seamless integration with the restaurant’s interior
• Flexible volume control for shift based ambience
• Rich, balanced audio that enhances the culinary experience
• High reliability for daily operation

The new soundscape transforms the venue’s personality creating an immersive environment that complements and elevates Meliaa’s identity.

“Consistent, High-Fidelity Sound Engineered for Hospitality Environments.”

Afters by Meliaa were delighted with the new Yamaha audio system, noting that it has enhanced their ambiance with clear, balanced sound, subtle during the day and more energetic in the evenings. They shared that it has improved guest comfort, created a more immersive atmosphere, and elevated the dining experience. They also praised Raj Enterprises for the seamless installation and precise fine‑tuning that brought the system to life exactly as envisioned.
