“Although it’s not a massive system, the keyword here was quality,” explained Graham. “The client wanted a high quality system that would cruise from background to foreground levels with the minimum of effort, and the flexibility to zone the system as required with remote, independent level control.”
To that end Sound Division supplied a total of six JBL Control 29AVs for the restaurant area downstairs with four more gracing the cocktail lounge upstairs. These are supplemented by four JBL Control 23s in the entrance area and four Control 24C ceiling speakers in the washrooms. The DJ control area is equipped with an Allen & Heath Xone 62 mixer, Technics SL1210 Mk3 turntables and the latest Denon DN-D4000 twin CD player with MP3 playback capability. For background music, Sound Division has supplied a Pioneer 100-disc multi-CD player. The whole system is controlled via a Cloud Z411 Zone Venue mixer and Cloud RSL-6 remote music source and level control panels for maximum audio control and flexibility throughout the venue.
Cafeteria’s Simon Wright explained that he had already worked with Sound Division on many occasions through Schrager Hotels, and had always been very impressed with the results.
