Vietnam : In 2017, New Ha Long Club Super Universe in Ha Long City embraced audio excellence with a Martin Audio setup thanks to Duc Pro Audio. The setup includes 20 W8LCI Line Array speakers and 16 WS218X subwoofers, paired with IK42 and VIA amplifiers for a recent upgrade in December 2023. Chosen for their high-quality sound, the W8LCI and WS218X speakers have solidified the club’s reputation as one of the biggest in Quang Ngai Province.

Vietnam : In December 2023, Bamboo Beer Club in Quang Ngai City improved its sound system with Martin Audio, thanks to Duc Pro Audio. They installed 24 X15B full-range speakers and 12 X218 subwoofers, perfect for DJ sets. The installation went smoothly, creating a great atmosphere for patrons.

HONG KONG: 

Hong Kong’s Clockenflap festival returned to Central from 1-3 December with six stages of entertainment, including the main Harbourflap stage backed by the Hong Kong Peak and overlooking over the harbour to Kowloon.

Once again, MSI Japan was appointed as the production partner for the Harbourflap stage, with Bunshiro “Bun” Hote, Yasuhiko “Yasu” Watanbe, and Yukio “Eddie” Tanada handling sound design, with a particular emphasis on noise control. With the rear of the stage backed by government and residential properties, and complaints from residents in the past, the challenge was to limit audio heading in that direction. Accordingly, the team designed a Martin Audio MLA system with a cardioid subwoofer array of 30 MLX subwoofers, achieving close to 30dB rejection at the stage rear.

Two hangs of 15 Martin Audio MLA line array cabinets with one MLD downfill were plugged into the Display prediction software, enabling MSI to control audience coverage using the “hard avoid” feature at the rear to eliminate audio from onstage and from residents behind the stage. Limits were placed at the edges of the audience areas to ensure maximum focus on the crowd and prevent audio travelling across the water to Kowloon.

Clockenflap’s sound director Sem Cigna, who has worked with several different main stage systems on Clockenflap since 2016, had deployed a similar MLA configuration for a 2019 Gwen Stefani concert in Hong Kong. “I was able to experience how MLA could reduce the audio outside of the audience area without losing any impact for the audience,” Cigna explained.

When it comes to noise control for all six stages, the buck stops with Clockenflap’s production manager, Peter Gorton. “When the venue moved from Kowloon to Central several years ago, one of the biggest requests from the government was to manage the noise for the residents,” he says. There followed years of testing possible solutions, from hiring cranes to fly and test different line arrays at the site to situating large sandbags behind the subwoofers, blocking sound from the rear of the stage. MLA’s ability to eliminate noise from the back of the stage has meant that sandbags are a thing of the past. However, noise reduction is a crucial component of the festival, with three monitor stations around the site in Central and one across the water in Kowloon. Gorton is at pains to point out that while residents have adjusted to the annual festival in the city, he and his team don’t take this for granted, constantly striving to put on a great event without disturbing the neighbourhood.

“The MLA system has the punch and impact we were looking for, especially for bands like Japanese pop duo Yoasobi who were playing for the first time in Hong Kong,” said Gorton. “They sold out the Friday night and blew away the excited audience with their energy. Amazing to hear everyone in the crowd singing every word.” Yoasobi FOH engineer Fujita Kengi described the resolution of MLA as “standout”, allowing him to focus on the mix and create an impact for the audience.

Gorton also revealed plans for a Singapore festival in 2024 along with plans for more Hong Kong events.

Other acts to appear on the Harbourflap stage over the weekend included Britpop legends Pulp, hip hop stars De La Soul, Chinese alt rock band Omnipotent Youth Society, Taiwanese indie rockers No Party For Cao Dong, UK’s Idles and Chinese singer-songwriter Leah Dou.

The Christmas season traditionally brings with it magical and immersive eco-trails, with lighting and imaginative soundtracks replacing the more natural effects.

Principal among these is Eden Project’s Music & Lights after dark experience, which runs during the month of December.

Based nearby in Cornwall, technology specialists (and Martin Audio partners) TruCru were brought in to provide a seamless audio experience, According to Project Manager, Toby Bodman, after much deliberation this was achieved by deploying Martin Audio’s weatherised CDD6-WR in a flown configuration to create seamless transitions and ensure maximum intelligibility of both the narrative and a soundtrack that varied from orchestral to ambient music.

This year, the sales and rental company turned its attention to the Rainforest Biome after having also helped stage events previously in different areas across the site.

They have also undertaken a series of audio-visual installations at Eden Project—often drawing on Martin Audio’s CDD (coaxial differential dispersion) technology—while at the same time systematically being engaged to spice up the client’s live events.

“CDD IS HANDLING THIS EXTREMELY WELL WITHOUT HAVING TO DRIVE THE SYSTEM HARD”.

To keep the trail experience fresh, this year the emphasis moved more from the Med Biome to the Rainforest, and with it came a brief to avoid some of the hotspotting apparent in previous years. “Rather than a rapid drop off in sound from zone to zone, they wanted a nice even coverage across the whole Biome, so we started to approach things quite differently.

“We weighed up options at the design stage, including [Martin Audio] ADORN and Blackline, and quickly found that for a number of reasons the CDD range would be best with its IP rating and dispersion pattern. And because we knew Eden Project actually owned CDD6-WR’s, it would also save them on the hire costs.”

Thus they were able to deploy multiples of CDD6-WR held in general resource (while others are permanently installed elsewhere across the complex). TruCru provided all the rigging infrastructure, system design and installation, as well as six of the Martin Audio ADORN A40 and eight ADORN A55 from their own rental stock. Toby Bodman stressed the importance of IP-rated speakers and weatherproof covers in view of the high humidity, the use of sprinklers and the fact that the Rainforest Biome is exactly as it says on the tin.

Installation itself required a creative approach. “Previously we’d not considered flying [a sound system] in the Rainforest Biome because of its size but last year in the Med we hung a small line array which was quite effective. One of the site team asked if we could repeat that with a couple of hangs, but our issue was practicalities in the Rainforest, and we struggled to see how that would be achievable with one big line array in the roof.”

Instead they suspended the CDD6-WRs strategically, in several small clusters. “This enabled us to create a 360° sound source from the ceiling, and by being able to fly it quite high from the hexagonal frame—50ft at its high point—with the speakers angled down, we could overcome any hotspots.” The other advantage of flying, he says, “is because on the floor the tropical ants like to infest electrical equipment!”

A further advantage was that TruCru were able to model the installation in Martin Audio’s proprietary DISPLAY 3 3D software “and it came out exactly as we had modelled it.”

The entire cohesive trail lasts around two hours, while the Rainforest Biome experience is timed at 40 minutes (with a soundtrack provided by lighting company GLX Productions to match). GLX provided the playback rig and all track source in a continuous mix, that is appropriate to the environment.

In summary, Toby Bodman says the versatility of the CDD6-WR is what will make the visitor experience so special. “I’ve been blown away by how well it’s been performing, particularly since a lot of sections are speech heavy.

“The brief was to achieve an SPL level which on the one hand would create an immersive environment but at the same time allow people to converse comfortably. CDD is handling this extremely well without having to drive the system hard. In fact we couldn’t be happier, and we know the client is delighted with the quality of audio.”

Located in Lujiang, within China’s Anhui Province, the Shishi Zen Temple serves as a place of worship and to enhance both the vocal and musical experience, the Zen Temple made the decision to embrace cutting-edge audio technology. After conducting thorough research, they opted for the Martin Audio active MLA Mini array, complemented by Martin Audio’s renowned CDD series, as the basis for their new PA system.

The choice of the MLA Mini was based on its exceptional sound quality and its ability to optimise coverage, consistency and control of sound for a room’s own acoustics, dynamics and the position of the listeners. This was particularly crucial as it ensured that both those near the Buddha statue at the heart of the Zen Temple and those worshiping at a distance could enjoy the same high-quality music and Dharma teachings.

The CDD series serves as an auxiliary system, guaranteeing consistent sound coverage throughout the venue and delivering an enhanced listening experience to the audience. This ensures that every nuance of the music is conveyed with crystal clarity. Additionally, the CDD’s versatility in installation allows it to seamlessly adapt to different settings, maintaining audio quality and reliability.

The Zen Temple demonstrated a deep respect for the unique characteristics of their environment during the sound system installation. Despite the temple’s spacious layout and towering architecture, the Martin Audio system was meticulously modelled and tuned to deliver outstanding audio performance for various events, be it a grand Buddhist ceremony or an intimate concert. This enables the temple’s devotees to focus on their meditation and practice, while also providing visiting guests with the gift of beautiful music.

This unparalleled auditory experience has elevated the quality of Buddhist music and temple rituals to a new level. The Zen Temple remains committed to continually enhancing religious rituals and musical performances, fostering a more tranquil and spiritually enriching environment for all believers in the future.

Since investing in Martin Audio’s small-format WPM line array, shortly followed by the larger WPS PA last year, New Jersey-based Audio Incorporated has rarely looked back, taking full advantage of the optimised series’ breakthrough scalable resolution. While the award-winning two-way WPM houses 2 x 6.5” drivers, the slightly larger WPS is a 2 x 8” 3-way array.

The two 16-element rigs, complemented respectively by eight SX118 and eight SXCF118 subwoofers, provided them with the perfect capacity to handle a myriad of different events across the tri-state area, but specifically some very challenging art gallery spaces. By this time, they had already boosted their rental fleet after investing in 16 of Martin Audio’s powerful XE500 floor monitors, and some auxiliary XE300s.

Head of Audio Systems, Stephan Wojtecki, recalls the day the WPMs arrived. “They came off the delivery pallet and were immediately loaded onto our truck to go out next day.” And they’ve barely been in the warehouse since.

Similarly voiced, the two complementary systems often work in tandem for the production house, with the smaller WPM taking on delay and fill duties from the main WPS FOH PA.

The vast roster of shows they have reinforced during the summer alone has ranged from a classical spectacular by the Riverside Symphonia, to Carnegie Hall’s Musical Connections programme at Sing Correctional Facility, run in partnership with the New York State Department of Corrections and Community Supervision. Here they presented Metropolitan Opera’sDead Man Walking,with some of the inmates in the chorus. “With Met Opera singers we barely had to turn the WPMs on.”

But if both of these diverse events proved major triumphs for the Martin Audio line arrays, Wojtecki believes the biggest accomplishment has been in the more challenging gallery venues, deployed for other purposes. “We work with a number of arts organisations, and they are in tough environments—buildings that are not built for amplified sound.”

 “IT SOUNDED ALMOST EXACTLY THE SAME AS WHEN I WAS STANDING NEXT TO THE STACK. YOU COULD HEAR THE WHISPERING VOICE CLEARLY ACROSS THE FIELD”.

Key among these is the Beaux-Arts Court at Brooklyn Museum. Dating back to the late 19thcentury, measuring three storeys high, and clad in glass tile, terrazzo, andmarble, the potential for sound to bounce off these unforgiving surfaces like a pinball in this vast 105ft x 105ft space, would be immense—were it not for the expertise of the techs and the advanced control parameters of Martin Audio’s proprietary DISPLAY optimisation software. “When they want to do a big rave in there it would sound awful had we not been able to use Hard Avoid, and unique features of the Martin Audio system design to make it sound really good.” For speech in the Gallery, he says, they typically deploy 16 WPM in a line, four boxes per stack, in single box resolution thanks to Martin’s iKON iK81’s “and with the sound coming from one side of the room it really works.”

Both Stephan Wojtecki and Operations Manager, Edward Tolve, were already familiar with the Martin Audio pedigree by the time they took over day-to-day operations for Audio Inc, who are currently celebrating their 30thanniversary. “It was once we started doing installations on a larger scale, outside the corporate boardrooms, that we started looking around for smaller format line arrays, that would appeal to our clients.”

And their biggest takeaway is that while both Martin Audio systems were, to some degree, replacements for older, similarly footprinted systems, they agree the Wavefront Precision paradigm takes the previous technology a massive leap further.

“It is way more finessed and more musical sounding [than our previous small to mid-format systems]. With the rear rejection on it you can put it in tough rooms and get way more gain before feedback. It also turned out to be the perfect size as you can deploy these systems with two people rather than a whole crew, even when you have larger events.”

Aside from their own rental requirements, Audio Inc also took on Martin Audio dealership status—stimulated by the need to support the vast all-Martin Audio Glasshouse project—a multi-function, interconnectable event space in New York City on a 75,000 sq. ft footprint. This is equipped exclusively with Martin Audio MLA Compact and CDD-LIVE systems.

Edward Tolve emphasises another reason why this acquisition has been such an attractive proposition. “NYC is a very unique market in that there aren’t many big fields for major events, so we were never going to be walking around with an MLA or WPL. Instead we wanted something more versatile, and we found the WPM/WPS systems to be just the right size rigs for what we need, and sounding fantastic. We also love the subs, and I am in love with those SXCF118 cardioids in particular—they are awesome.”

Another recent show highlight was when they provided SR for the Riverside Symphonia—a classical spectacular incorporating a full firework display, in a 500ft long x 250ft wide field with a stage in the corner. “Firstly you need a PA that can cover that field,” says Stephan Wojtecki. “So we actually deployed the full WPS rig and WPM for delays. It sounded absolutely gorgeous once the orchestra started playing, and then to be able to get the volume of the PA above the fireworks once they started up was a tremendous thing to be able to do.”

Clients have universally reacted positively to being introduced to Martin Audio’s new tech … with one or two humorous quirks, as Edward Tolve points out. “For instance Spoon’s monitor engineer nearly had his head taken off by an XE500 when he walked up to the mic, as he had loadedsettings from a previous show in. Also the best thing I love about these Martin Audio rigs are when we put a DJ through it you can sometimes hear just how bad the DJ tracks and their sound file is … and that’s because the PA system is so good. And I love that!”

He also highlights an event at New York’s Storm King Art Center Gala. “We had a quiet band from Brooklyn whispering into a microphone and I was 200ft away. It sounded almost exactly the same as when I was standing next to the stack. You could hear the whispering voice clearly across the field.”

Finally, believes Edward Tolve, from a financial perspective the Martin Audio investment makes perfect sense. “We’re more likely to get a better ROI on these boxes than a lot of kit that was previously bought at Audio Incorporated,” he acknowledges. “As the company has grown, so our inventory with Martin Audio has as well.”

Martin Audio partners, Sussex Events, recently fielded their TORUS 8 constant curvature hybrid PA for the launch of this year’s Turner Prize.

The event took place at the Towner Eastbourne, as part of the art gallery’s centenary celebrations (‘Towner 100’) and Turner Prize’s four shortlisted artists were introduced. This was followed by a party, with local DJs pumping music out until well into the night.

This may not have chimed with local residents, in the retirement seaside town—nor with the organisers of the world’s leading prize for contemporary art – had it not been for the tight focus of the TORUS 8, paired with the cardioid properties of the SXC118 subwoofers, and the expertise of Sussex Events, led by partners Bob Watson and Adam Briggs explained.

Set up in 2012, the production company supported Martin Audio solutions virtually from the get-go, working through successive generations of products. “When the original TORUS came out, we already had some boxes that filled that gap, but what we did need was something compact and powerful for our corporate work and also our more upmarket events,” said Watson. “So when TORUS 8 appeared I think we ordered it on the day it was announced.” He shared this enthusiasm with the fact that the proprietary DISPLAY 3 visualisation software now operates on the MacOS platform, making set-up easier and more efficient.

“TORUS 8 is a versatile box that has been out constantly at corporate events as well as a couple of bandstands since we acquired it in April,” he continued. “They are replacing boxes that were throwing a lot of sound but largely to areas where we actually didn’t need it.”

Their standard corporate set-up is for a pair of TORUS 8 (100° x 20° dispersion per side) atop a single SXC118. “Stacking two gives us 40° x 100° throw, which is bang on the money, as it provides coverage across the dancefloor and the front of the audience. At the same time we can keep the sound away from balconies, avoiding slapback, and literally focus it on the audience.” Such was the case in Eastbourne, where a pair of Blackline X8 were added for outfill duties to maintain consistency of coverage in the wide space.

Adam Briggs agrees: “It has the clarity for the speech and coverage and still has the punch for the DJs and entertainment later in the evening, after the ceremony. The DJs were able to achieve good level and it was rocking in there.”

He states that the launch party itself took place in the Congress Theatre which is connected to the Towner Gallery—both part of Eastbourne’s Devonshire Quarter (with the Winter Gardens). “The initial speeches, via lectern mics, and launch of the Prize [in front of 300 guests] took place in the Congress Bar. Everyone then went into the Gallery to look at the art, allowing us to turn things round for the DJ back in the Congress Theatre for the party, for which a further 500 people had bought tickets.”

This is where things could have gone wrong. For Sussex Events were advised that part of the venue was not well air-conditioned, and thus the windows needed to be opened … leading to fear of sound spillage and consequent noise complaints. But the Sussex Event techs conducted offsite listening tests and were satisfied that the rear rejection of the subs, coupled with the tight vertical control of the mid-tops had minimised sound escape. “It was virtually inaudible,” they said. “It was inside that the music was really pumping, and we had no complaints whatsoever.”

For the Turner Prize 2023, Sussex Events were working through technical production company, Missing Link, with whom they regularly partner, while the main production company for the event was Identity.

With the announcement of the winner on December 5, Sussex Events will again join forces with Missing Link—and this time the two companies will be pooling their respective Martin Audio PA inventories.

Nestled in the heart of East Belfast, Banana Block, a captivating community space, made its debut in October 2021 as a part of an extensive neighbourhood revitalisation initiative. A thriving ecosystem of local talents and diverse activities, this dynamic venue stands as a living testament to the area’s storied past.

From hosting a plant shop and bakery to a record shop, mind hacks, mushroom growers, salsa classes and animal foods, Banana Block’s day-to-day operations buzz with energy. However, its versatility goes beyond daily activities, as it plays a pivotal role in East Belfast’s artistic and entertainment scene. The venue regularly welcomes various events, including art exhibitions, comedy nights, live performances and even parties that attract hundreds of people from near and far.

Conleth McGillan, Production and Programming Manager behind Banana Block shares, “Banana Block is all about upskilling people from our community, especially those who might not have had opportunities elsewhere. We want to give them the chance to learn new skills and understand what goes into running events while aligning with our mission to benefit the working-class community around us. It’s been a game-changer for us as a startup, allowing us to offer more to our community.”

As the demand for events and gatherings has continued to grow in recent months, Banana Block needed a sound system that could adapt to different event sizes and styles. To provide exceptional audio quality, focus on the performers, and enhance the overall visitor experience, Banana Block decided to invest in an upgraded sound system. Turning to Rea Sound for assistance, a point source solution from Martin Audio was recommended and ultimately selected for the install. Roger McMullan, Director of Rea Sound, commented: “We knew the Martin Audio XD15 / SX118 system would be ideal for the Banana Block”.

“I’M GRATEFUL TO MARTIN AUDIO FOR ALLOWING US TO EXPLORE A WIDER SOUND EXPERIENCE”.

The setup included a range of top-tier components to transform Banana Block’s soundscape: Martin Audio XD15 tops, known for their high-performance capabilities, were chosen to deliver crystal-clear sound, ensuring that the audience could immerse themselves in the full richness of the music or performance. To complement the tops and add depth and bass to the audio experience, Martin Audio SX118 Subs were integrated.

For both aesthetic enhancement and equipment protection, wooden front covers enclosed the subs, while fully enclosed padded covers were employed to safeguard the tops during transport and storage, all while preserving their pristine appearance. To maximise mobility, four braked wheels were affixed to the subs, allowing for effortless mobility.

To maintain precise control over the audio signal, a Martin IKON IK42 4-Channel DSP Amplifier, a high-quality digital signal processor (DSP) amplifier, was included. The amplifier was housed in a flight case with a shock mount to safeguard it during transit and handling. Additionally, a K&M 500mm M20 Pole was provided for optimal positioning of the tops at the desired height.

Banana Block has embarked on an incredible journey as McGillan, reflects, “It’s been quite an experience so far. We’ve hosted a few smaller events, including a supper club gathering with a live stream and a DJ, although we encountered some acoustic hurdles due to the venue’s glass surfaces and hard walls. But we’re making significant strides in addressing these issues with planned investments in soundproofing.

“Additionally, we’ve got plans to set up a recording studio, with releases coming up in the next few weeks. Our aim is to transform Banana Block into more than just a standard venue; we want it to be a hub for culture, music, and art.”

With the new Martin Audio system in place, Banana Block can now confidently host a wide range of events with exceptional audio quality. The system’s flexibility allows it to adapt to events of all kinds, whether it’s a small acoustic performance or a high-energy dance party, ensuring that performers can shine, and audiences can fully immerse themselves in the experience.

McGillan concludes: “The whole journey has been a game-changer for us as a startup, enabling us to extend our support and services even further. I’m grateful to Martin Audio for allowing us to explore a wider sound experience, which fuels our excitement about the possibilities for the future and the significant impact we can have on the local creative scene.”

Located outside Philadelphia, PA, Sesame Place is a theme park and water park based entirely on the Sesame Street TV series. It is one of 12 theme parks operated in the US by SeaWorld Parks & Entertainment.

One of the main attractions, popular for hosting a variety of shows, including meet and greets with the characters, is Abby’s Paradise Theatre.

It is here that system integrators Illuminated Integration—based across the State in Harrisburg—recently installed a Martin Audio CDD solution to meet the request for a comprehensive upgrade to the theatre’s aging PA that was failing to meet the requirements for either coverage, output or clarity. At the same time, Sesame Place asked the integrators to carry out an assessment of the audio in other event spaces and theatres, as well as a parade route.

At Abby’s Paradise Theatre the client required a solution that would not only provide uniform sound coverage throughout the 850-seat, clam-shaped auditorium, but also support future park integration and immersive sound elements. The installation itself was not without its challenges, as the venue is situated outside, under a covered metal roof with metal bleachers, and a ‘Lazy River’ and waterfall running immediately behind it.

Although the integrators are independent when it comes to product specification, Cody Toms, Illuminated Integration’s Audio / Video Systems Creative, knew that CDD had all the attributes to counter any obstacles. “We love how good Martin Audio boxes sound and the fact that the sound remains consistent throughout the line,” he noted.

“WE LOVE HOW GOOD MARTIN AUDIO BOXES SOUND AND THE FACT THAT THE SOUND REMAINS CONSISTENT THROUGHOUT THE LINE”.

“We also knew we could get the space modelled well and that we weren’t going to need to spend a lot of time at the back end tuning, especially to get the vocal clarity of the Martin Audio boxes … as they already sound just phenomenal.” In this instance they used EASE Focus for modelling.

As a result, the company specified three CDD12 (in white), spaced and suspended as a conventional L/C/R system from the overhead beams, with an SX112 (single 12” sub) also flown behind each of the left and right hangs. This solution worked out perfectly for the company’s lead AV designer, Bobby Dengler.

“With the noise of Lazy River and the waterfall behind, we also had to achieve some rear rejection and keep the audio contained where it’s supposed to be,” continued Toms. “Neither we nor Sesame Place wanted audio to be spilling out, and it was important to be able to boost performers’ live mics on stage without getting feedback, while at the same time achieving the required SPL and even coverage across the seating. It was a delicate balance.”

He also notes that Abby’s Paradise Theatre had been struggling with low end coverage “and while it’s not a rock concert, we wanted to cover the full spectrum.” They used the recommended tuning parameters from Martin Audio within a Q-SYS environment, as this provides the existing digital backbone.

Cody Toms anticipates CDD will be a brand for the future. “The way Martin Audio translates vocals throughout the line is a huge win for us, particularly as many of our clients are churches, theatres or school performance spaces. With CDD I love the large number of models in the range and the fact that the coaxial source does not have the comb filtering of traditionally designed boxes. That all makes it easier for me as a designer because I know I’m not going to have to fight the box.”

The company has now enjoyed Martin Audio dealership status for more than 18 months, coming at it in a round-about way. Company owner Tyler Hoffman already had a relationship with the British manufacturer from his previous company, the catalyst being an interesting church project involving TORUS T12. “So when he arrived here it was a perfect opportunity to build the relationship again,” stated Toms. He was soon in contact with Martha Callaghan, Martin Audio’s Northeast Regional Sales Manager, and a team from Illuminated Integration attended the manufacturer’s recent Open Day at Merriweather in Maryland to apprise themselves of all products, including arena systems.

In summary Cody Toms couldn’t be happier with their first project with Martin Audio. “We’re thrilled that the park is thrilled!” he exclaimed. “It’s far better than what they had before and has exceeded their expectations. Consequently, it is establishing a footprint.

“As for Martin Audio, Martha, Will and the team have been right there for us.”

Nick Manna, Vice President of Entertainment, Sesame Place, added his endorsement. “The Sesame Place entertainment team had a great time partnering with Illuminated Integration on the audio upgrade for Abby’s Paradise Theatre. The team was knowledgeable and offered their professional advice to provide us with the best quality sound system for our space. The Martin Audio speakers allow our audience to feel like they are part of the show, and the sound perfectly enhances the overall show quality. I would recommend both companies to any professional in the business.”

Vietnam : In November 2023, Bling Bling Club in Ho Chi Minh City turned up the volume with an impactful Martin Audio installation thanks to Duc Pro Audio. The setup featured 8 X15B and 4 SX215 speakers, providing the signature sound that patrons love about Martin Audio. The installation aimed to deliver an incredible experience for DJs, singers, and the audience. The owners were extremely pleased, saying, “With Martin Audio products, we will be able to provide an elevated sonic experience for DJs, singers, and most importantly, the audience. I can’t wait for everyone to hear it!”.
