Long-time Turbosound client Thunder Electronics specified weather-resistant TCS Compact series loudspeakers for the project. 12 TCS-121CW, 16 TCS-081CW, eight TCS-20 and eight TCS-215CW have been installed, with control by an LMS-D24 processor and sound from CD decks and DJ mixers.
"Sky Bar opens at 8pm each evening and functions as a chill-out lounge with food and background music," says Thunder Electronics' Louay Agha. "Then at midnight it fires up as a nightclub, with DJ sets and occasional live performances. So the loudspeakers need to be able to cope with a variety of different kinds of music and maintain excellent sound quality at different volume levels.
"Because of our experience with outdoor installations, it was a straightforward task to ensure all the areas were covered adequately and I have had nothing but positive responses. Many people commented on how amazing the sound is for an outdoor venue."
