Panama Hospitality Venue Deploys Advanced Automation Ecosystem

Next Level Tech installs a centralized Control4 and ADI infrastructure to manage multi-space hospitality operations.

A newly opened high-end hospitality destination in Panama City has deployed an integrated automation, audio and networking ecosystem to support multi-purpose venue transitions. Designed by technology integration firm Next Level Tech, the installation at ADAMA Bar and Restaurant relies on the Control4 platform from ADI to manage changing room configurations, private dining functions and evening entertainment environments.

The venue features multiple distinct spaces, including private dining rooms, a large main salon and an outdoor terrace. To maintain a cohesive environment across these separate areas, the facility uses automated climate control, distributed audio and adaptive lighting scenes.

Operational control is managed via a centrally located touch screen in the restaurant's administrative zone, giving managers immediate oversight of the environment. Localized control is also provided through wall-mounted keypads in private dining spaces, allowing staff to adjust settings on demand.

Integrating these systems required solving specific architectural hurdles, notably a six-meter-high open industrial ceiling that exposed building infrastructure. To minimize visual impact while maintaining balanced sound coverage, integration teams coordinated with architects and interior designers to deploy specialized pendant loudspeakers and structured cabling.

The underlying infrastructure relies on a robust network deployment to provide stable connectivity for the distributed audio matrix and automation controls. The network layout also accommodates a dedicated DJ station, enabling live performances to route audio seamlessly into specified zones across the venue without disrupting centralized environment settings.
