Having worked in many of the finest discotheques in the world, Joe T. Vannelli knew exactly which system he wanted for his own club and entrusted the task of performing the installation to the Renate-based pro audio company dSoundPro.
To tailor the system perfectly to the architecture of the building, dSoundPro's team of experts ran the simulation software EASE. The results of EASE's acoustic CAD simulations revealed not only the position and orientation but also the power handling characteristics of each loudspeaker, all needed to obtain an even distribution of the sound throughout the club, with constant sound pressure levels along both the vertical and horizontal axes.
One of the first to put the new system through its paces was Boy George, who delivered a suitably stellar set. Since then, special guests including Niki Belucci and Satoshi Tomiie have consolidated the club's reputation as one of Europe's finest.
