The first Spearmint Rhino Gentlemen's Clubs were established over 12 years ago in the USA, and have since become a popular fixture throughout the UK. Midlands-based installation company ALG Sound & Lighting was commissioned to equip the club on Brighton's sea-front, and chose ZX1s and EViD loudspeakers from the Electro-Voice range.
"The club is in one of the older buildings in town," says Andy Gilbert of ALG, "so there are high and low ceilings in different rooms. We install a lot of EV equipment and we knew that the ZX1s would give us the coverage we wanted as well as high SPLs on the dance floor." 12 ZX1s have been wall-mounted to provide output for the dance stages, one on each floor of the two-storey club.
Zoned into eight independently-controlled areas, the club's sound design uses 24x EViD 4.2 surface-mount speakers which have mainly been fitted in the booths. A further 12x EViD ceiling speakers have been installed in the entrance, staircases and toilets.
