Econocom, LG and Bose turn Plaza Mahou into an avant-garde beer space

The audiovisual area of Econocom has designed and implemented a cutting-edge experience with more than 70 square meters of screens, surround sound Bose Professional and the first Led LG Electronics cylindrical continent. A multisensory environment that unites gastronomy, sport and technology.

The Spanish family drinks company, Mahou San Miguel, benchmark in the beer sector, has chosen Econocom to design, implement and provide content to Mahou Square: the first beer factory inside a soccer field in our country.

Located within the Santiago Bernabéu stadium, Plaza Mahou redefines what is understood as a restaurant or meeting point. Technology enhances a complete sensory experience for the visitor from the entrance, both on match days and other types of events.

The technological heart of the project is a circular Led screen (LSCB025-CFRP) large format suspended over the microbrewery, reminiscent of a beer tank, and has been custom designed by LG Electronics.

This screen, of 6 meters in diameter by 2,03 meters high, is composed of 120 cabinets with a pixel pitch of 2,5 mm and a shine of 800 nits, allowing for a sharp, high-impact image. This circular format is highly innovative. There are very few similar facilities, and in this case it has been designed with safety anchors special in each of the cabinets, due to its high location. This mounting system avoids any risk during installation or maintenance.

With a millimeter execution, This facility is the first of its kind in Europe, and acts as the visual center of the space.

Besides, and entrance tunnel with an audiovisual dome, composed of six synchronized LED screens with dynamic ambient lighting, generates a immersive experience amplified by Bose sound systems.
