Bar Shrimp uses laser-etched acoustic panels to balance music and conversation

Bar Shrimp, a cocktail bar and restaurant in Manchester, has installed bespoke acoustic panels from Autex Acoustics alongside a custom MasterSounds audio system. The venue features red velvet curtains and plush banquettes. Laser-etched Mirage wall panels and a Frontier Axis ceiling system reduce reverberation and echo, allowing guests to hear conversation clearly while music plays.
