The Bierkeller Entertainment Complex is situated right in the heart of the thriving Liverpool One. The new venue is built in a large concrete room with lots of hard reflective surfaces, creating a difficult acoustic environment. Paul Atherton of RW Salt explains why this made Traction Sound's loudspeakers an ideal choice: "Their SDS range has low vertical dispersion, which is perfect for acoustically difficult venues. You get less energy bouncing off reflective surfaces, meaning better clarity throughout the hall. Also, because of the long throw of Traction Sound'

During the three-week shut-down, the world famous club extended its existing BSS network and provided an additional four channels of AKG DMS 700 wireless capability; but the piéce de résistance is found in 103 - the venue's second dance room - where a new Soundcraft Si Performer digital console now partners the Soundcraft Si2 in the adjacent Box.
This is the centrepiece of a substantial upgrade, authorised by production manager Chris Thoms. Although other spaces within the club have been reconfigured, including the VIP Room, 103 has undergone the biggest change, in order to bring it more in line with its bigger neighbour. As a result, it is now an adap

Founded in 1863 by Charles Dickens, Anthony Trollope and Lord Leighton, the members-only venue attracts a top-end clientele, hosting gigs, art and fashion events, and private parties. Visiting sound engineer, Dave McDonald, took on the role of audio consultant at the venue, recommending iLive to replace the original FOH mixing console. Having used a similar system on tour with acts such as Adele, Florence & The Machine and AIR, the main reason for the change is that McDonald wanted to better meet the audio requirements of visiting artists.
