Martin Audio Selected for New Italian Concept
Martin Audio loudspeakers feature in a revolutionary Italian leisure hospitality concept which has opened in Brescia.
Known as MYA Dinner Moving the premises simultaneously operate as a restaurant, lounge bar, meeting point, dance floor, art gallery, theatre and much more.
Aimed at a discerning fun-loving clientele, MYA is the expression of a unique style.
Accessed via a crystal elevator, the articulated scene is spread across 800sqm on different levels, with electronic systems able to completely transform each area. This is an innovative use of space where the common denominator is ‘togetherness’ – the kitchen, rooms, music and decor effects are all united in a single aesthetic, with high architectural values masterminded by Adriano Verzelletti.
On the top floor, customers are able to dine under the stars – thanks to an additional 500sqm terrace, with hanging gardens and water games. Retro chic songs – from Barry White to Mina – along with current pop play in a continuous crescendo.
After dinner MYA ‘changes its skin’, transforming completely. The scenography is modified electronically, the lights, sound and projection screens fire up and diners can use every square inch of the club for dancing – including the settees and the tables – as the room becomes enveloped in music.
All the sound equipment was provided by Audiosales srl, who recommended Martin Audio’s AQ series, which has been conservatively styled to be architecturally unobtrusive, in an ultra-compact package.
Six two-way AQ12s cover the main dance floor, with four AQ212 subwoofers, and five Martin Audio Contractor series C516 flush-mounting ceiling speakers providing infill.
Elsewhere Audiosales have installed a further seven AQ8s and four AQ112 subs handling the low frequencies in the restaurant, with a further seven AQ8s in the hall. All speakers are under XTA process control.
MYA offers a Mediterranean menu, skilfully enriched by oriental and European influences, which is changed monthly. Leading a team of international chefs is Pierluigi Geribelli, who has worked in a number of famous restaurants (including San Lorenzo in London).
With a capacity of 800 people, MYA promises a full programme of international cabaret artistes, and is hoping to attract 10,000 elite customers a month.
