Project detailThe brief
Pro Technical was engaged to deliver a full Martin Audio sound system installation at Brookes Deli & Wine Bar Derby. The project brief, as delivered, was an installed sound package suitable for both daytime hospitality background music and late-night DJ-led operation. Work completed March 2025.
Design decisions
The installed system specified Martin Audio loudspeakers to provide the venue's fixed sound. The chosen loudspeaker models were the Martin Audio CDD6 and the SX210. Sound system processing and zone-level management was implemented using a BSS BLU-100 digital signal processor. The system design allocated DSP resources for per-zone equalisation and limiter/level control and included setup of zone routing and DSP presets.
Equipment and system architecture
The installed equipment comprised Martin Audio CDD6 loudspeakers and SX210 speakers as the primary coverage elements. Sound control and system processing was handled by a BSS BLU-100 DSP unit. The BLU-100 provided zoned control, parametric EQ where required, and limit functions to protect loudspeakers and manage maximum levels in each zone. The documented installed items are: Martin Audio CDD6, Martin Audio SX210 and BSS BLU-100.
