After carefully comparing the offerings of three other suppliers, Gossip's managers opted for a sound reinforcement system from Electro-Voice, designed by Norwegian installation engineers and audio consultants avon a|s.
The nerve centre and heart of the system is found in the air-conditioned equipment room on the first floor of the club, where 10 of Electro-Voice's CPS series amplifiers deliver the power, while a NetMax N8000 signal processor with IRIS-Net v.2.0 software supervises the system via a WLAN router. It's a set-up that has attracted considerable notice on the Norwegian club scene, since the integration of the NetMax N8000 - only two rack units high - brings with it a wealth of technical options.
Erlend Aasved, who is responsible for the club's sound equipment, is very impressed with the installation: "Everywhere in the club, the sound is outstanding; moreover, the system is ultra-reliable and child's play to operate."
