BlacklineX Solution Created for Albania’s Posh Lounge Party Venue

Prosound has equipped Albania’s Posh Lounge with a Martin Audio BlacklineX loudspeaker solution.

Situated in Durrës, Albania’s second city, on the Adriatic coast, the 400-capacity party venue was recommended to Martin Audio’s popular series by Prosound—like many venues before it.

Having installed the venue’s previous system, this time around Prosound had no hesitation in recommending Martin Audio’s BlacklineX, and their audio system technician, Armand Dosti was soon at work designing a system to fit the budget. The series represents a substantial upgrade and reengineering of the original Blackline series.

“Not only is this series budget sensitive but in addition, the rotatable horn makes this series more attractive when you need to install the speakers horizontally,” he said.

His design approach was to recommend a combination of eight X12 and a pair of X15, with six X115 subwoofers to provide coverage consistency in the large space. An additional four X10 cover the veranda, divided by glass panels, that can be opened to create a larger area. These are powered by pair of Martin Audio MA2.8Q amplifiers (for the mid-tops) and an MA5.0Q for the subs. Tuning and optimization are via Martin Audio’s dedicated DX0.5 2×6 management system, with Smaart used for measurement and room analysis.

In addition to the sound, Prosound also fitted an LED wall behind the DJ area, as well as the DJ mixer and CD players. The venue does not have any lighting installed, since it operates as a snack bar/lounge during the day, although it rents in for special events.
