Masque Sound collaborates with Dayglo Presents for systems integration at “Garcia’s Chicago”

Masque Sound, a theatrical sound reinforcement, installation and design company, has announced its systems integration for “Garcia’s Chicago”, a new restaurant and live music venue inspired by the enduring legacy of Jerry Garcia.

The venue was developed by live music and media company Dayglo Presents which brought in Masque Sound to bring its technical vision to life. Jesse Lauter, Head of Production & Media at Dayglo, spearheaded the collaboration and has worked with Masque Sound on projects for more than a decade.

“I have this great relationship with Matt Peskie and the entire team at Masque Sound”, says Lauter. “When Anthony Nittoli joined Masque Sound as Installation Division Manager, it was a match made in heaven. Anthony has always been my go-to for design and concept, so having so much talent under one roof was fantastic.”

The project presented some challenges, including a pre-determined booth placement and design limitations set years earlier. “We were locked in on positions and placements that weren’t ideal”, says Lauter. “But, through close collaboration between Meyer Sound and Anthony at Masque Sound, we overcame those obstacles.”

Masque Sound’s work included a full systems integration featuring a Meyer Sound loudspeaker system comprised of seven Ultra X-40s, seven Ultra X-20s, two 900-LFC subwoofers, one 750-LFC subwoofer and six MJF-208 stage monitors. “The choice of Meyer Sound was both technical and symbolic”, says Lauter. “Meyer’s history with the Grateful Dead made them a natural fit.”

This system was anchored by a Yamaha DM7C-EX digital console with Rio 3224-D2 and Rio 1608-D2 stage boxes. A range of Shure, Audix and Sennheiser microphones paired with K&M stands supported the venue’s input needs. For video capture, the venue was equipped with five PTZ Optics 4K HD cameras operated via a PTZ Optics controller, allowing seamless content creation and livestream capabilities.

“Masque Sound also supported the venue through its opening nights and was great in commissioning the system and staying onsite to ensure seamless operation”, adds Lauter. He also praised the efforts of Peter Shapiro, Owner of Dayglo Presents, and Kim Kozak, Production Manager, who both played crucial roles in the realization of “Garcia’s Chicago”.
