Moxy Lower East Side Debuts with Installed 1 SOUND Audio Systems for Four Venues

Anthem Productions outfits Tao Group venues and the lobby bar and cafe in the new Moxy Hotel complete with 1 SOUND loudspeakers.

Moxy Hotels has expanded its New York footprint with the launch of the Moxy Lower East Side. The 303-room urban retreat is the fifth outpost in Manhattan. Anthem Productions was the integrator for the venues where they installed 1 SOUND loudspeakers. Each venue is a different application from the hotel lobby’s cafe to the piano lounge, 1 SOUND’s loudspeakers were the right fit for each.

“By providing a stunning variety of venues and concepts under a single roof, the hotel really embodies the diversity of the Lower East Side. People come to the neighborhood to indulge their thirst for discovery, and they’ll get that at the Moxy, too—and we’ve made it accessible rather than exclusive.” says Lightstone president Mitchell Hochberg
