Marquee AV selects Martin Audio CDD for “Daroco Soho”

Marquee AV recently installed a Martin Audio CDD sound reinforcement system at the new London West End Italian restaurant “Daroco Soho”. Introduced to the project by design and construction consultant Cotton Thompson Cole, Marquee’s project director Stacey Tough says the preference for Martin Audio had been a joint decision between him and the clients themselves, who had specifically requested the brand.

The brief was to provide a system that would deliver sound with even coverage throughout within the two-storey architecturally led environment. This includes the “Wacky Wombat” cocktail bar in the basement with a DJ booth, providing a club-like atmosphere. Marquee AV have provided separate DJ input facilities on both floors, which operate on separate zones, accessed by a number of background music players. Programmable wall controllers on each floor allow for local volume control and independent source selection.

The sound system comprises six CDD8B and four SX210 subs in the basement (Wacky Wombat) and eight CDD6B, underpinned by four discreetly concealed SX210 subwoofers on the ground floor and a single CDD5B in reception. With sound needing to remain consistent through stairwells, corridors and toilets, nine Martin Audio Adorn A55T were detailed to function as infills in these ancillary areas.

Explaining the logic behind this selection, the project director explains that the ceiling height had been the reason for selecting wall mounted CDD6s for the ground floor, with anti-vibration mounts on both floors. “The subs are recessed into furniture and seating on both floors, while the Adorn speakers serve the corridors”, he says. “In the basement bar the CDD8s are ceiling mounted, and a further four of the SX210s are incorporated into the seating to support the DJ setup.”
