Fulcrum Acoustic Selected For Baltimore’s Azumi Sushi

Designed by interior designer Patrick Sutton and located at the water’s edge in the Baltimore’s Harbor East neighborhood, Azumi Sushi features a small lounge area with a DJ booth on one side, a sushi bar in the back, and a main seating area.

Working with Chuck Levin’s Washington Music Center and systems integrator (and DJ) Mike Denoe, they chose Fulcrum Acoustic loudspeakers for the long, narrow, and acoustically “live” venue.

Five Fulcrum Prophile model S dual 8-inch coaxial loudspeakers handle the main space.

Compact and low profile, the Prophile S three-way, active system features Fulcrum’s advanced, DSP-enhanced coaxial design, which enables very wide (100° x 100°) dispersion.

The loudspeaker’s horizontal orientation and trapezoidal shape allow it to be positioned in a variety of locations, including extremely close to ceilings, while remaining visually unobtrusive-perfect for an intimate restaurant like Azumi Sushi.

To support the DJ booth, Denoe installed one Fulcrum Prophile model M dual 12-inch coaxial loudspeaker. Less than 40 cm tall, the Prophile M is a three-way, active coaxial system that delivers maximum mid-bass for plenty of visceral impact. The M’s conical horn provides 75° x 75° dispersion, making it particularly well suited for near-field applications such as Azumi Sushi’s lounge.

“The Fulcrum Acoustic system turned out great,” Denoe recalls.

“I was blown away with how clean and even it sounds. The Prophile M’s dual 12-inch speakers sound phenomenal in the room at any volume, even when you turn it way up.” The restaurant’s management is more than pleased, he relates. “They rave over how clean it is and how it sounds. They’re building another restaurant on top of the Ritz Carlton hotel, and they want Fulcrum Acoustic loudspeakers for that install as well. That says it all.”
