Sound system
Browse this venue’s gear ↗Giorgio Di Salvo bespoke system: two three-way bass-reflex mains with Altec-style 15-cell horns, Alnico compression drivers and 15-inch bass, vintage JBL 075 supertweeters, two bespoke two-way coaxial ceiling speakers, a 10 W single-ended tube amp and a 15 W pure Class-A amp, buffered passive control, Condesa Carmen rotary, Technics SL-1210. Low-watt single-ended power on high-efficiency multicell horns is the jazz-kissa recipe; ceiling coaxials keep Gràcia’s natural-wine floor in the picture.
Custom cabinetry and Altec-style cells are the visual and the acoustic signature.

About the sound system
How the system serves the room
Oblicuo combines Giorgio Di Salvo’s bespoke three-way main cabinets with smaller ceiling speakers, separate high-frequency units and low-powered bespoke amplification. The Condesa mixer and Technics source form the working front end of the room.
Large horns are a plausible match for this amplification approach, while the ceiling system can address positions beyond the main pair. The number of acoustic sources makes level balance and crossover integration important; neither cabinet appearance nor amplifier class alone establishes the room’s tonal balance.
Technical interpretation based on the documented equipment; selection motives and measured in-room performance are not confirmed.
