The new 500-capacity Rover Club, which opened this month, occupies a prime position within the recently reconstructed historic shopping arcade of Gostiny Dvor - in the very heart of Moscow, close to Red Square.
Owned by Rover, the major Russian consumer electronics manufacturer, the club has been divided into six zones, incorporating a restaurant, discotheque, virtual reality hall, VIP disco and VIP hall.
Sound systems in the respective zones are controlled by a standalone BSS Audio Soundweb London BLU-16 with four mic/line inputs and 12 line outputs. A control PC running HiQnet London Architect software is used to change between presets. Local zone control is provided by four BLU-6 wall-mount panels, which facilitate simple level control, source selection and preset recall.
CD Player and turntable signals from the DJ booth and the audio server feed, which includes the soundtrack for the virtual reality art installations, are routed to the Crown CTs and Xs powered JBL Professional ASB 6128 subs, AM6212 fills and Control series loudspeakers.
