When PAUL Azerbaijan embarked on their latest restaurant projects in the Azerbaijan capital, they again approached PROAV, the Martin Audio distributors for their audio requirements.
After favoring an alternative brand in their first restaurant in the city, the management of the global brand, which specializes in French cuisine, have subsequently used Martin Audio’s highly popular CDD series, which features advanced coaxial differential dispersion technology, including their latest two projects: Paul Azerbaijan Cinema and Paul Caspian.
PROAV managing partner Elshan Aliyev says, “The client was looking for high quality background music, and we specified CDD series speakers because of the amazing sound quality for this purpose. CDD series speakers have a very specific sound and are our number one choice for background music applications.”
As a result they installed 14 of the ultra-compact but powerful CDD5 and four SX110 (1 x 10”) discreet subwoofers, as well as 10 C6.8T 6.5” high-performance, flush-mount ceiling speakers.
The CDD5 is a two-way passive speaker designed for unobtrusive positioning in architectural installations — including bars, museums, foyers and restaurants such as this. It features a unique, patent-pending 5” (125mm) LF/0.7” (19mm) HF Coaxial Differential Dispersion driver in a rigid ABS molded enclosure, and comes with a versatile, omni-directional mounting bracket.
The client is also delighted with the result. Stated a spokesman for the management, “This Martin Audio sound system installation from the team at PROAV perfectly fits our requirements—and has also met the approval of our clientele.”
