People Light, a premier sound and light rental house based in Bogotá, has recently upgraded its inventory with a landmark investment in Martin Audio’s large-format WPL – the first system of its kind in the country.

Established in 2007, People Light has grown into one of Colombia’s largest production companies. When the time came to overhaul their flagship audio inventory, their ambition was clear: to meet the uncompromising riders of the world’s most demanding international festivals and tours.

This vision led the People Light team directly to the Martin Audio portfolio, and to Martin’s Latin American distributor AVCOM, supported in the region by Proactive LATAM. Following a series of rigorous field tests and demonstrations, the company subsequently invested in a full-scale Wavefront Precision large-format array.

THIS IS A WORLD-CLASS SYSTEM, PROVEN AT THE MOST DEMANDING INTERNATIONAL FESTIVALS AND TOURS.

As the flagship of the Wavefront Precision Series, WPL is a 3-way, bi-amped system featuring dual 12” LF drivers. It is designed to deliver stadium-level output with extraordinary pattern control, further enhanced by Martin Audio’s scalable resolution optimisation.

The comprehensive system now in People Light’s inventory consists of 24 WPL line array elements, complemented by 12 SXH218 dual 18” high-power subwoofers, all driven by iKON iK42 multi-channel amplifiers.

Since the system’s debut, the company reports that feedback from both internal technical teams and external promoters has been exceptional. Alongside the signature sonic quality, particular praise has been reserved for the streamlined workflows—specifically the ease of system configuration, tuning, and rigging, which has significantly simplified on-the-ground operations.

Camilo Aranguren, CEO of AVCOM, comments, “With People Light’s acquisition, major events and festivals in Colombia will now have access to a system designed to deliver power, uniform coverage, and absolute control in large-scale productions.”

People Light have already successfully deployed the WPL rig for leading artists including Yeisson Jiménez, Luis Alfonso, and Hebert Vargas. In a significant milestone, the system is also set to make its debut at Bogotá’s famous El Campín stadium – the city’s largest and most renowned venue – later this month.

Alejandro Puentes, CEO of People Light, concludes, “This is an important step in our history, positioning us as one of the few companies in the region with this level of large-format technology. This is a world-class system, proven at the most demanding international festivals and tours.”

IND – Sayap Suci, a new lifestyle and entertainment destination by Holywings Group, has officially opened in Kelapa Gading, Jakarta, offering visitors a distinctive blend of coffee culture, wellness, dining, and entertainment – brought to life by a professional audio system powered by Martin Audio.

The complete sound system was designed and integrated by GMT Solutions (PT Global Multipro Technology), with Goshen Indonesia serving as the authorised Martin Audio distributor.

Positioned as Indonesia’s first coffee venue with integrated entertainment and lifestyle facilities, Sayap Suci spans over 3,000 square metres and features a 1.2 km jogging track, a scenic lake, and shower facilities. The venue is designed to transition smoothly from daytime productivity and wellness activities into a vibrant evening entertainment destination.

MARTIN AUDIO GAVE US THE FLEXIBILITY, COVERAGE CONTROL, AND SONIC CHARACTER

According to Satrio Prisetya, Marketing & Technical Director of PT Global Multipro Technology, the vision for Sayap Suci demanded far more than a conventional background music system.

“Sayap Suci is a unique project that combines coffee culture, fitness, dining, and entertainment in one integrated environment,” Satrio explained. “From the beginning, the goal was to design an audio system that feels natural and comfortable during the day, while still being able to scale up seamlessly for live music and DJ performances at night.”

One of the key challenges for the project team was achieving consistent sound quality and coverage across multiple zones. To meet these requirements, Martin Audio loudspeaker systems were selected for their proven performance, reliability, and versatility in mixed-use environments.

“Ensuring clarity, consistency, and control across both indoor and outdoor areas was critical,” Satrio continued. “Martin Audio gave us the flexibility, coverage control, and sonic character needed to support that transition, while maintaining a high-quality listening experience throughout the space.”

For the indoor areas, a total of thirty Martin Audio ADORN A55 loudspeakers were installed. The ADORN A55 offers wide dispersion, balanced tonal performance, and excellent speech intelligibility, ensuring that background music and live performances remain immersive without overpowering conversation.

For the outdoor zones, the system is reinforced with two Martin Audio X15 loudspeakers paired with a pair of X118 subwoofers, delivering controlled low-frequency impact with clear, articulate mid and high frequencies for live music and DJ performances.

Reflecting on the final result, a spokesperson for Sayap Suci commented: “Sound plays a huge role in shaping how guests experience our venue. With this system, the audio feels evenly distributed and comfortable wherever you are—whether you’re enjoying coffee, working during the day, or attending live music and DJ performances at night. It truly enhances the overall atmosphere.”

JPN – A pharmaceutical company in Japan has installed an integrated media system centred on Symetrix’s Dante-enabled DSP mixer, the Radius NX 4×4 Dante. The project was delivered by Audio Brains and includes a sound system from Martin Audio and Powersoft, alongside video distribution from Visionary Solutions and an interpretation system from Televic.

Throughout the facility, analogue inputs in each room are connected via Symetrix analogue-to-Dante interfaces, enabling audio, video and simultaneous interpretation to be integrated across a single network. The system has been designed to deliver flexible routing and high scalability within a unified operational environment.

A multipurpose space within the facility can be used as a café for day-to-day operations or reconfigured for events. To support this flexibility, Audio Brains installed a Visionary Solutions encoder/decoder system to distribute video content to projectors. Audio is delivered through Martin Audio ACS-40TS ceiling speakers powered by Powersoft Mezzo 604 AD amplifiers, providing consistent coverage throughout the space.

Visionary Solutions’ thumbnail function allows preview images of each video source to be displayed on a control touchpanel, enabling users to monitor what is being shown on each projector in real time.

The installation also includes a streaming studio designed for webcasting and recording. Video distribution in this space uses the same Visionary Solutions network deployed across the floor. For applications requiring interpretation, Televic’s Unite digital wireless system provides interpretation audio, supported by a Unite CR-12P rack-mounted charger and Unite receivers. Televic Unite AP4 four-channel access points are installed in the ceilings of both the streaming studio and the multipurpose space, allowing receivers to switch between channels as required.

A Symetrix xIn XLR 4 endpoint enables users to switch between microphone- and line-level inputs via a button on the unit. The system supports handheld microphones and analogue audio sources, which can be routed for in-room amplification or sent to interpreters.

The interpretation room supports two languages, Japanese and English. Users can select operating modes – such as multipurpose space, studio or remote streaming – via a touchpanel interface. The system incorporates a Televic Plixus AE-R audio engine, Lingua ID Mike interpretation consoles and 60 Unite receivers. Some Unite units can also be configured in tour guide mode, using a separate four-pole microphone for simple intercom-style communication. The Lingua ID Mike console is compliant with ISO 20109:2016, ensuring standardised operation.

Video input and output are handled using a Visionary Solutions encoder/decoder configuration. The company’s AV-over-IP technology enables the transmission of 4K60p 4:4:4 video over networks with bandwidths below 1Gbps.

According to Audio Brains, integrating all systems onto a single network enables centralised control of audio, video and interpretation across the entire floor, resulting in a flexible and easily expandable media environment.

POL – Martin Audio’s Polish distributor, Phono Media, has successfully deployed ADORN Series pendant speakers across a range of hospitality projects, with ACP-55T solutions installed in multiple restaurants to deliver premium audio and clean aesthetics, whilst overcoming a variety of interior-related sound challenges.

With Martin Audio’s signature sound characteristics, the ADORN series is a natural choice for background and foreground systems that demand superior audio quality from visually discreet, ultra-compact, yet value-priced enclosures.

One standout project is the Polish History Museum in Warsaw, a monumental building covering 45,000 square metres. Within its striking marble architecture, the “Dialog” restaurant mirrors the building’s bold design language, with interiors heavily clad in stone slabs.

MARTIN AUDIO SERVES AS A VITAL BRIDGE BETWEEN RIGOROUS TECHNICAL CAPABILITY AND ESSENTIAL AESTHETIC FORM

This presented two major installation challenges: conventional wall-mounting was impossible due to the surfaces, and there was a strong requirement to preserve the visual integrity of the space. Phono Media turned to a suspended solution using the Martin Audio ADORN series, deploying a total of 20 x ACP-55T pendant speakers. This approach provided uniform sound coverage and high intelligibility, while the enclosures’ refined industrial design allowed the system to blend unobtrusively into the ceiling void.

Located on Warsaw’s prestigious “Royal Route” (Nowy Swiat), a Pasibus site brings the brand’s signature street-food energy into a historic setting. The interior combines the raw, industrial aesthetic of the burger chain with the constraints of a high-traffic urban venue.

Here, 9 x ACP-55T pendant speakers were specified to work sympathetically with the ceiling infrastructure, delivering even coverage across the dining zones without requiring invasive wall mounting. To give the background music the necessary depth and punch to match the youthful Pasibus demographic, the system is reinforced by a pair of Martin Audio SX110B slimline subwoofers, discreetly integrated within the interior joinery.

Finally, L’Osteria in Mysiadlo is defined by its lively atmosphere, industrial-chic design and high open ceilings. This architectural volume required a solution that could deliver clear, consistent background music across a large footprint without contributing to visual clutter. Phono Media again selected the pendant form factor, deploying 17 x ACP-55T to lower the sound source closer to the tables, improving intelligibility whilst making effective use of the ceiling void.

To ensure the audio experience extends seamlessly into the outdoor garden area, 5 x CDD5BTX-WR weatherised loudspeakers were installed, chosen for their Coaxial Differential Dispersion technology, which provides wide and consistent coverage over the patio. The system is completed with two SX110B subwoofers, delivering extended low-frequency support across the venue.

“For Phono Media, Martin Audio serves as a vital bridge between rigorous technical capability and essential aesthetic form,” says Filip Polanowski, Chief Technology Officer, Phono Media. “These projects prove that we don’t have to sacrifice functionality for design. The Martin ADORN series gives us the dependability of a pro-audio system wrapped in a visual package that architects accept. It effectively turns a technical necessity into a design asset.”
