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 an ideal 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.
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 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 Świat), 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, nine 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, the system is reinforced by a pair of Martin Audio SX110B slimline subwoofers, discreetly integrated within the interior joinery.
Finally, L’Osteria in Mysiadło 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 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, five 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,” said 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.”
