The new LAVO in Mexico City is another collaboration between 1 SOUND and Tao Hospitality Group, alongside the recent LAVO Las Vegas. Known for its Italian cuisine, LAVO is elevating the dining experience with a focus on clear, high-quality sound. Whether it’s working directly with architects or operators, 1 SOUND says it is proud to partner across teams to help bring a cohesive sonic identity to life.
A Thoughtful Choice for Sonic Ambience

For this space, NTX, the Mexico-based, AV integrator, turned to 1 Sound’s Cannon Series for distributed coverage. A total of 30 Cannon C5i loudspeakers were installed throughout the venue, chosen for their high output in a compact form and their ability to deliver clean, intelligible sound even at low levels. Cannon C4s were also added to smaller areas that required a little less throw. Thanks to their sonic clarity and lack of distortion, the music at LAVO doesn’t fight the conversation — it fills the room in a way guests can feel without straining to speak. It’s a listening experience that supports lingering, lowers ear fatigue and keeps the mood just right from dinner to late-night.
Subtle Design with Serious Impact
A mix of 16 FSUB45 subwoofers and 2 MiniSUB5 units add full-bodied low-end support throughout the space. The MiniSUB5, a 5-inch passive subwoofer, provides subtle low-frequency reinforcement in a surprisingly small footprint. “Coincidentally, the color of the walls matched perfectly with the white C5s, so they didn’t even need a custom finish,” says Manuel Suero Gutierrez, President of NTX. “The team was thrilled the product matched the interior design out of the box.”
Seamless Communication Across Teams
This wasn’t NTX’s first collaboration with the LAVO design team — they had already worked closely with the project architects on previous builds. That relationship, paired with strong support from Tao Group and the investors, gave everyone full confidence in the 1 SOUND system. “The performance and the aesthetics made it an easy decision,” Suero Gutierrez added.
With several venues already using their products and more adopting them, 1 SOUND is becoming a popular choice for hospitality groups that prioritize creating high-quality sound experiences to complement their spaces..
