Fenómeno

The room

Hi-fi bar; funk/disco vinyl, cocktails and food. Mandala Group.

Admire Audio custom install: twenty handmade speakers in three designs across two rooms and two vinyl booths. A distributed handmade system is how a funk/disco cocktail room covers dining and dancing without a single blasting pair. Models of the decks are unpublished; the speaker count and the two-booth plan are the published fact.

About the sound system

How the system serves the room

Fenómeno’s twenty Admire Audio speakers cover two rooms with separate vinyl booths. This is a distributed installation, so its design problem is broader than choosing an impressive pair of loudspeakers: the programme needs to reach several areas at suitable levels.

Three cabinet designs give the installer scope to match different positions and coverage tasks. Gain structure, overlap and zone control become important to avoiding excessive level near one speaker while another part of the room remains quiet. Exact processing and routing have not been published.

Technical interpretation based on the documented equipment; selection motives and measured in-room performance are not confirmed.
