Sexy Fish, Manchester
Manchester’s Spinningfields vibrant district is home to the city’s most popular museums, bars, restaurants, and shops. This cultural centre recently welcomed a new dining destination with the opening of Sexy Fish, a name already synonymous with culinary glamour in London and Miami. The restaurant comprises a main dining room, a late-night bar, and a semi-private dining space known as ‘The Tropical Reef Room’, which can accommodate 30 guests. Sexy Fish Manchester features sculptures by Damien Hirst, fish-shaped lamps designed by Frank Gehry, and a pink onyx bar, where guests can enjoy a comprehensive selection of champagne. Its liveliness is further mirrored by its line-up of events, including the dinner parties where the restaurant becomes a world-class entertainment venue, hosting an impressive range of international performers and DJs.
Considering the L-shaped venue, with its 7-metre-high ceilings, and luxurious materials such as the Verde Esmerelda stone floor, and a series of bespoke glass columns created by master Venetian glassmakers on the island of Murano, it was essential to design a sound system capable of providing comprehensive but targeted coverage in the highly reflective space. The Marquee AV team used L-Acoustics 3D audio mapping software Soundvision to navigate the complexities of the venue’s acoustics and find strategic positions from which the speakers would provide comprehensive coverage, particularly in the bar area where placement options were limited.
Marquee AV selected a mix of L-Acoustics A Series and X Series. The space features fifteen L-Acoustics A10i Wide loudspeakers with Panflex for adjustable horizontal dispersion with ten compact X8 coaxial speakers for clear and powerful sound dotted throughout. Low-end extension is provided by seven L-Acoustics SB10i subwoofers, 2 SB15M subwoofers, and 2 KS21i subwoofers. A range of amplified controllers LA12X, LA4X, and LA2Xi Power the entire system.
