Bar Martha ↗

Historical equipment

A Urei 1620 is listed among Bar Martha’s control electronics. It belongs to the room’s vintage analogue playback chain.

Mixing / preamplification: 1620; LNP-2 (Urei / Mark Levinson)

Inside the system

Tannoy Autograph loudspeakers anchor a system with several amplification options: McIntosh MC240, MC275 and MC2300 units are used in rotation, alongside a custom 845-based amplifier. The Autograph’s large horn enclosure is a defining part of the installation, while the rotating electronics make the amplifier pairing variable. Sources include two Garrard 301 turntables and an EMT 930-ST. A Urei 1620 and Mark Levinson LNP-2 complete the listed control equipment. The mix of broadcast-derived turntables, a rotary mixer and large horn speakers gives the system a coherent analogue identity without implying that every amplifier operates simultaneously.

Siwilai’s 2021 equipment information names an original Urei 1620 with two Technics decks. This is a dated system record.

Rotary mixer: 1620 — venue’s February 2021 description

Inside the system

Two OJAS installations serve separate rooms. The Live Room uses six 12-inch coaxial speakers. The Audiophile Bar combines OJAS 816 cabinets with Altec 311-90 horns, 288C compression drivers and Werner Jagusch crossovers. The bar’s February 2021 configuration includes Technics SL-1200MK2 turntables with Goldring E3 cartridges, a Urei 1620 mixer and reported McIntosh MC252 amplification. That dated configuration belongs to the Audiophile Bar and should be kept separate from the Live Room’s coaxial installation.
