The Location
Bodriggy Brewing Company is Melbourne’s premier brewery venue. After years of planning and hard work, the team behind the building have gone above & beyond in setting the standard for quality.
Located in the heart of Abbotsford on Johnston Street, this building is an incredibly special space that will service the city of Melbourne for many, many years.

The Challenge
Working in such a complex, detailed environment demands a high standard of design, planning and execution. Our team at Element Audio were up to the challenge, hitting the ground running and ensuring every obstacle was dealt with along the way.
Our initial design and planning phases began in early 2018. After an initial site visit, our design team got to work on preparing options for the Bodriggy owners. The challenge for our team was to provide a high quality full-venue sound system to suit the array of events and functions the Bodriggy team had envisioned for the space.
From casual dining service and comfortable background music, to making the most of a 424 capacity license and hosting ticketed events in the main hall, our design team had to ensure our proposed system could cater to all of Bodriggy’s needs.

The Solution
Element Audio’s design solution proved to be the winner against the competition. Our selection of hardware and ability to network everything together for maximum functionality surpassed all the alternatives.

Our design focus was tailored around the main muscle of the system - Funktion-One.
A true balance of everyday performance and large-event capabilities was crucial to the design of the system. The pairing of Funktion-One’s larger speakers with their smaller installation range proved a successful move - arming the space with comprehensive & clear audio in all public spaces.
The commissioned system is fully functional as a day-to-day background music output system.
At the core of this system is the family of F81 Compact Loudspeakers which provide an even balance of crystal clear audio throughout the venue. Complimentary to the F81 units is the real muscle of the system - the Resolution 2 Full Range Loudspeakers. Mounted on customized brackets and located above the DJ Console, the Resolution 2 provides the power for larger events and busier nights. A single F1201 acts as a DJ Booth Monitor for clear mixing by the array of Melbourne’s finest DJ’s that play at this venue. A combination of 4 sub woofers provide the low-end coverage through the venue, with the MB112 custom built into the bar area to provide discrete coverage. Two BR118 sub woofers provide the DJ Console area with low-end coverage for larger events.
The amplifiers that power this impressive system are from the MC2 Audio amplifier family. An integrated BSS network provides the staff at the venue with full control over volume for their designated zones. As with all Element Audio BSS integrations, a complete custom user interface was designed to make controlling the sound a smooth experience for all staff members!
Further to the main Funktion-One sound system, the Element Audio team installed in-ceiling speakers into the concrete roof of the downstairs bathrooms. This was no easy feat, but our team was able to successfully provide coverage below the brewery for patrons using the facilities.
Bodriggy Brewing Co. was a project that spanned across two years, with every component of the project proving a great success!
The Element Audio team was proud to work in conjunction with builders, electricians, fabricators & engineers throughout the construction stages of this installation.
From the owners down to the casual staff, Bodriggy Brewing Co. has a great team of people behind it that combine as one to form a juggernaut of the Australian brewery scene.
The delicious Bodriggy beer range paired with the genius kitchen staff who provide Central/South American menu options should put this venue right at the top of your things-to-do list.
