PA Sound and Solutions Corporation of Medley, FL coordinated the transaction for the newly opened Twelve Miami. Leandro Arguello, the company's sales manager, discussed the project and his decision to deploy loudspeaker systems from D.A.S. Audio.
"Since the club regularly hosts a lot of live acts and uses DJ's as well," Arguello explained, "they required a versatile system capable of performing well for both types of acts. The sound system needed to be capable of handling both live music and music playback accurately, have good speech intelligibility, and provide even dispersion throughout the room. The combination of the D.A.S. Event Series 210A line arrays and 218A subwoofers - augmented by the company's Artec and Vantec point source loudspeaker enclosures - worked out really well. The system covers the entire area evenly with great low end and clarity."
The D.A.S. loudspeaker setup at Twelve Miami includes a total of eight Event 210A three-way active line array enclosures: flown four elements each for the left and right main hangs. These loudspeakers are augmented by four D.A.S. Event 218A powered subwoofers - two enclosures each for the left and right sides of the stage, positioned on the floor. To ensure event coverage at the very front of the stage area, there are four D.A.S. Artec 508A powered two-way loudspeaker enclosures placed across the front of the stage.
For the performers, the on-stage monitoring setup includes four D.A.S. Vantec 15A powered two-way side-fill enclosures as well as four Event M210A three-way active stage monitors. Loudspeaker management is provided by a D.A.S. DSP-4080 four-input / eight-output stereo / mono processor. System cabling is handled by products from Accenta USA while an Avid Venue SC48 console handles mixing chores.
