Manahatta Birmingham

Manahatta Birmingham is a hospitality venue operating in the bars sector. Pro Technical was commissioned to deliver a full AV installation covering audio reproduction, signal processing and performance lighting. The project scope, as delivered, comprised RCF loudspeakers for venue sound, Symetrix digital signal processing for zoning and signal routing, and Chauvet moving-head fixtures for performance and stage lighting.

This case study record is based on the confirmed equipment used at the venue. There is no verified project evidence supplied for client brief detail such as occupancy figures, exact coverage zones, or dates. Where specific quantities or commissioning outcomes were not provided, this account limits statements to the installed systems and their role as part of the completed installation.

Design choices recorded for this project were expressed through the selection of three core technology categories: RCF loudspeakers for the venue audio, Symetrix DSP for digital audio routing and processing, and Chauvet moving-head luminaires for performance lighting. The project record does not include measured room acoustics, SPL targets, prescribed coverage angles or a zone list; those details are not reproduced here because they are not part of the verified project evidence.

The documented selection of RCF, Symetrix and Chauvet indicates an integrated approach covering loudspeaker hardware, central DSP processing and dynamic lighting control. This combination supports multi-zone audio distribution and lighting effects often required in hospitality venues that host both background music and live or DJ-led performances.

Installed systems recorded in the project file:

- Sound system: RCF loudspeakers were installed as the venue's primary loudspeaker solution. The project evidence confirms RCF as the chosen loudspeaker brand for the Manahatta Birmingham installation.

- DSP and signal processing: Symetrix digital signal processing units were included in the AV fit-out for audio routing, zoning and processing. Symetrix equipment provides configurable DSP for tasks such as equalisation, delay, level control and routing between areas.

- Performance lighting: Chauvet moving-head fixtures were installed to provide dynamic stage and performance lighting capability. Chauvet is recorded in the project evidence as the supplier of moving-head luminaires used on site.

The project record does not include amplifier brands, mixer models, the presence or specification of wireless audio, microphones, cabling schedules, nor the exact rack or control system architecture. Where those elements exist on site they are not described here because they were not supplied as verified facts for this project.

Pro Technical completed the physical installation of the confirmed equipment categories. Installation activity, as captured in the project record, involved mounting and positioning RCF loudspeakers, rack-mounting Symetrix DSP units and installing Chauvet moving-head fixtures in the performance areas. Structured cabling and rack provisioning necessary to connect loudspeakers, DSP and lighting control are consistent with delivering a combined audio and lighting system; specific cable types, conduit runs, exact mounting heights and bracketry specifications were not provided in the evidence and are therefore not documented here.

Commissioning activity documented for this project is limited to the completion of system installation and the inclusion of Symetrix DSP for audio processing. The verified record does not include measured commissioning results, tuning curves, frequency-response data, or handover checklists. Any system alignment, tuning or validation performed by Pro Technical is not summarised here because those commissioning metrics were not supplied as part of the project evidence.

The completed installation recorded for Manahatta Birmingham delivered an integrated AV fit-out combining RCF loudspeakers, Symetrix DSP and Chauvet moving-head lighting. Those verified technology choices provide the venue with a unified platform for music reproduction, configurable audio zoning and dynamic lighting for performance spaces. No quantitative post-commissioning performance data or client testimonial was provided in the project evidence, so changes to operational performance or commercial impact are not stated here.

Pro Technical provides planned AV servicing and maintenance for installed venue systems. For clients requiring ongoing support, Pro Technical offers commercial AV maintenance services, including site servicing, fault diagnosis and component repair.
