Since the owner is a former musician, he also wanted the facility to build high-octane live music and DJ sessions into the entertainment programme, and tasked his technical representative Hidenori Kawamoto with sourcing a professional, fully-optimised system that could be distributed throughout the whole facility. LadyBird presented the challenge to Kiyoaki Fukumiya from Kyoto technical office. After being approached by Shinco Yamada (from Japanese distributors ComodoMattina) Mr. Fukumiya proposed an exclusively QSC sound reinforcement solution, which Mr Kawamoto immediately accepted.
As a result, a total of 22 AD-S282 sleek two-way column speakers have been distributed symmetrically across the ceiling, supported by two full-range AD-S82s, with rotatable waveguide (acting as DJ monitors and sound reinforcement for live musicians). The system is powered by eight QSC PL230s.
Mr. Kawamoto expressed his delight with the system, say QSC, highlighting in particular the pleasantness of the bottom end, and the clarity of the mid-highs - sufficiently audible to rise above the clang of coins but at the same time, comfortable on the ear.
