Asked to specify a sound system for Dubai’s new luxurious French brasserie, La Colline, A/V integrator Exacting Diseno Technical Services opted to work from the Martin Audio loudspeaker portfolio.
The requirement at the Al Habtoor Polo Resort was primarily for superior background music reproduction, with Exacting Diseno turning to Martin Audio’s CDD6 as the company has in the past. The loudspeaker’s coaxial differential dispersion technology would also be a good fit for occasions when live music or more strident DJ playback was required.
The integrator based the system design around two indoor zones, with three areas outdoors each with separate subwoofer level control. The fit-out comprised three CDD6 and an SX210 subwoofer in the bar area, and four CDD6 and pair or SX110 in the separate main zone. Outside, a further 11 CDD6 were placed, along with four SX112 – all wall-mounted with the subs concealed under the seating.
Diseno founder Lou Agha said the choice of CDD6 this time had been based around ‘size, sound quality and colour options’. He had persuaded the client to adopt white versions, which he said had been the correct decision, bearing in mind the overall interior aesthetic.
The installation was supported by Martin Audio territorial distributor, Pro Lab.
Commenting on the installation, the client said, ‘The concept was developed by a passionate team led by Alain El Tawil, blending French culinary tradition with a relaxed, elegant atmosphere. We were extremely impressed by the sound quality.’
