Quest

Background music. Done properly.

The audio your guests notice when it's wrong.

Background music in a hospitality environment is invisible when it works. Consistent level across the room. No dead spots. No hot spots. Nobody leaning across the table to be heard. The right volume for the time of day, adjusted automatically.

Quest Commercial makes loudspeakers and electronics specifically designed for this purpose built for AV integrators who care about performance and aesthetics equally. Design-conscious. Performance-driven. The kind of gear that looks right on the ceiling and sounds right in the room.

We pair Quest speakers with QSC amplification and Q-SYS DSP processing. The result is a system that gives operators per-zone control, scheduled volume levels, paging, and full integration with building management all managed from one interface.

Where we install it.

Restaurants & cafes

Ceiling-mounted or surface-mount speakers with consistent coverage across dining zones. Volume transitions automatically from quiet daytime service to evening ambience without anyone touching a dial.

Bars & licensed venues

Multi-zone control for front bar, back bar, beer garden, and private areas. Each zone independent, each schedulable. The DJ booth stays separate from the background system. All managed from one screen.

Retail environments

Background music that reinforces brand identity without overpowering conversation. Consistent level across the entire floor. No dead zones. No feedback. No system that sounds like it was installed as an afterthought.

Corporate & office spaces

Background music for lobbies and common areas. Speech intelligibility for meeting rooms. Privacy masking for confidential spaces. The same Quest platform, deployed for a different brief.

Event rooms & function spaces

A permanent background music system that also handles a presentation or a private dinner with speeches. Line-level input for microphones. Output levels that scale with the occasion. One system, multiple uses.

Hotels & hospitality

Consistent audio identity across lobbies, restaurants, bars, pool areas, and function rooms all managed centrally. Guest-facing and back-of-house on the same system, with different permissions for each.

The full system.

Loudspeakers

Quest

Ceiling, surface-mount, and pendant options across the Quest Commercial range. Design-conscious form factors that integrate with the architecture rather than fighting it.

Power & Processing

QSC Amplification

QSC network amplifiers with Intrinsic Correction voicings for each Quest speaker model. The amplifier knows the speaker. The result is optimised performance with no separate tuning required.

Control & DSP

Q-SYS

Zone control, scheduling, paging, and live adjustment all from the Q-SYS platform. Operators control their system from a wall panel or a tablet. We manage it remotely.

Why Elec Reid.

We design before we install.

Speaker placement, coverage modelling, and zone mapping done on paper before anything goes in the ceiling. No guesswork. No revisits.

The operator stays in control.

We configure Q-SYS so your staff can adjust volume, switch inputs, or page a zone without calling us. Simple interface. Full control.

We commission to standard.

Every installation is tuned in the space after installation. Not set-and-forget. Set, verify, adjust, and sign off. That's how it stays sounding right.
