Club owners, London-base Urbium plc, is also the proprietors of several other leading venues in the UK, including Oxygen, Wax Bar, Warwick, Motion and the Zoo, and has established a reputation for creating environments with exquisite visuals and leading edge sound.
The Aberdeen Tiger Tiger boasts several distinct areas over three floors, including the Tiger Bar, Club, Restaurant, Club Lounge, Lounge Bar and Oriental Bar, each with its own unique vibe and soundtrack. Systems integrators Green-i Ltd. designed the signal routing and remote integration, based on the model it created last year for the Tiger Tiger in Newcastle. The five-zone system is built around a QSControl-based design, providing monitoring and management capability for all QSC amplifiers and other components via an Ethernet network. An array of QSC's CX1102, CX502, CX902 and four-channel CX404 amplifiers are all connected via their DataPorts to four of the company's CM16a Network Monitors, each providing 16 channels of remote level adjustment and monitoring. In the rare event of a system fault, a text message is generated via the Bespoke messaging software, and the entire system can be addressed internally or remotely via broadband connection. (An interactive demonstration of this facility can be found on the Green-i website)
QSC's distributor, Shure Distribution UK, provided the QSC equipment. Based on the success of the system model, Urbium have configured the remote monitoring system as a portable rack-mounted setup, which can now move among the company's many venues and be connected to their IT department.
