Machina Bar – Enigma

Enigma Bar has a distinctive interior designed to create a three-dimensional visual effect. Following an on-site assessment, B-Star developed a technical approach to address the acoustic challenges of this unusual space.

THE ENIGMA BAR VENUE

  • Total floor area: 160 m², divided equally between two levels, each with a 2.8 m ceiling.
  • Reflective interior finishes, including aluminum-composite panels and mirrors.

THE TECHNICAL SOLUTION

Five pairs of BLACKLINE X10 loudspeakers from Martin Audio provide a suitably sized solution for the compact venue. Controlled aiming helps limit sound directed toward reflective interior surfaces.

Five loudspeakers were installed on each level for even distribution. Each position was carefully calculated to reduce excessive high-frequency buildup from the BLACKLINE X10 system.
The owner wanted greater energy downstairs and a gentler atmosphere upstairs. B-Star therefore installed two 18-inch ASB-Sound S-118i subwoofers in the central area of the ground floor.

SYSTEM CONTROL

Two Martin Audio DX0.5 DSP processors, each with two inputs and six outputs, process the signals for loudspeakers in different positions to maintain a consistent response.

The loudspeaker system required powerful, reliable amplification. The IDL IK41000 uses an Italian-designed Class D circuit rated at four channels of 1,000 W into 8 ohms. It was selected to power the Martin Audio BLACKLINE X10 full-range loudspeakers and ASB-Sound S-118i 18-inch subwoofers. The aim was to balance investment cost, an orderly installation, and clear, detailed reproduction.
The unusual visual design at Enigma Bar is complemented by an audio system matched to the owner’s requirements and the room’s acoustic challenges, creating a distinctive audiovisual experience for guests.
