The 4000sq.ft club features a dance floor and a live stage, equipped with a new JBL sound system, consisting of four AM6200/95, two ASB6118, 10 x Control 25 AV, and four Control 24C. Powered by Crown MA amplifiers, the whole system is controlled by BSS 3088 processors. Audio consultant Mr Sarangan of IHD Designs drew up the specification for Djinns, equipment was supplied and installed by Hi Tech Audio Solutions of New Delhi. BSS processing has been chosen to control the DJ turntable and mixer and the front-of-house desk, with level and EQ settings for the band, DJ and background music selectable through the turn of a knob. "This processor control was badly needed," explains Rajan Gupta, director of Hi Tech Audio Solutions. "In the past, the venue has had a terrible problem with operators fiddling with the settings; the original system speakers would blow up and maintaining the sound system was a project in its own right. Since we've installed the BSS processors and JBL/Crown solution, we haven't had to make a single service call."
The Hi Tech team, with IHD Designs, completed the whole Djinns installation in just one night. Racks were pre-wired, custom brackets made and suspended in advance, all the cabling was completed, and the BSS processors were programmed: the changeover to the new system took place in a matter of hours.
