Nomads nightclub and bar in Leicester has found a simple solution to a time-honoured problem; how to pump up the volume without annoying the neighbours. Situated in a residential block, the ground-floor and basement venue asked JPS, the St. Ives-based audio and lighting installation company, to design a sound system which could cater for 350 customers without keeping the residents of the first-floor flat awake all night. "They wanted high quality and high volume, but with very quick fall-off on the dBs", explains John Southee of JPS, whose solution was a combination of Wharfedale cabinets and Amina flat-panel speakers, resulting in individualized systems tailored to the very different ambiences of the two floors.

"Although there is a DJ on each level, the ground level bar, which has the frontage onto the street, offers a plush sit-down environment, whereas downstairs in the basement, the vibe is louder and more energetic. We've used the Wharfedale LiX bass bins throughout; there are two on the first floor, paired with six Amina flat-panel speakers. And in the basement, there are four LiX bass bins with four Wharfedale Force 2190s. "It's a great combination," says Southee. "The LiXs are the best speakers in the Wharfedale range - they are solidly built, which helps to give a great sound, and they are excellent value for money."
