A sound system for a market with multiple spaces

Designing a sound system for a food market involves much more than covering a single area. In this project, the challenge was to deliver a consistent audio experience across spaces with very different requirements: an indoor market hall, a covered walkway, and several seafront outdoor terraces.

The installation, carried out by Ibersound, was built entirely around Ecler solutions, with different loudspeaker ranges selected to suit the specific characteristics of each area.

Indoors, ARQIS106i and ARQIS108i loudspeakers, paired with ARQISSB10i and ARQISSB12i subwoofers, were mounted on poles concealed within the market's landscaped areas. This approach provided even coverage without interfering with the architecture, food stalls, or the greenery that forms part of the venue's design.

The outdoor terraces, directly exposed to the marine environment, were equipped with the eMOTUS Series. Different mounting solutions were used, with loudspeakers installed on concrete columns and on poles integrated into the landscaped areas. This combination made it possible to adapt to the layout of the terraces while ensuring consistent coverage across the entire outdoor space.

At the transition between the indoor market and the terraces, LABI1-C100i column loudspeakers were installed beside the main access points, aimed towards the large communal tables where many visitors gather to eat and socialise.

The installation was completed with VIC6X and IC6 in-ceiling loudspeakers, fitted throughout the indoor dining areas using IC-TB6 tile bridges to achieve a clean, low-profile finish above the seating areas.

The result is a sound system that responds to the specific needs of each space while maintaining a single design philosophy: delivering even coverage with discreet visual integration, allowing the architecture, the food offering, and the views over Port Vell to remain the centre of attention.
