Dividing the venue into three sound zones, Sound Division's David Graham specified eight AQ8's, eight AQ5's and a combination of AQ112 (1 x 12in) and AQ210 (2 x 10in) subs. The AQ5's double up with the AQ112's in the restaurant zone, AQ8's and AQ210's (recessed under the benches), are found in the 'hotspot' area facing the DJ booth, and in the multimedia area further AQ8's, either side of the projection screen, create a sound bias.
The multimedia area features a 7ft drop-down screen, front-projected in 4:3 aspect ratio from a Mitsubishi DLP projector, and used principally to show sport. Sound Division has also installed a Harman Kardon DVD player, while image processing includes a Kramer video scaler, with routing via a Elca 16x16 video and matrix switcher.
The DJ booth benefits from industry standard Allen & Heath XONE:62 mixer and Denon DN-D4000 rackmount twin CD player - while Sound Division has enabled the DJ to reference his playout via a Martin Audio Blackline F8 monitor.
The installers have also specified Martin Audio amplification - MA900's and MA1400's - to power the system, which operates under BSS Soundweb DSP process control (with remote 'Jellyfish' and 'Shrimp' units for local access).
