The newly opened Bar Trafik on Hoxton Square in EC1 is in one of London's most up and coming nightspots. Sporting a compact but powerful Crown-driven Nexo sound system installed by Bart Cameron, Bar Trafik is an intimate venue which offers food and drink in the early part of the evening, making way for a DJ later on.

LMC Audio in London supplied Bart Cameron with a total of six Nexo PS-8 compact loudspeakers and three LS-400 subs controlled by a PS-8TD controller. Power comes from a Nexo PS-8 amplifier with an additional built-in controller, which is supplemented by a Crown CE 4000 and a Crown MT2400. The system is distributed over two floors with the upstairs area being primarily for background music, while downstairs offers more of a bar/club environment. A Symetrix 308 VCA volume control/loudness EQ provides independent level control across the two zones.

LMC Audio's Paul McMullan explained that given the compact nature of the venue, the client was not looking for a physically big system, but it did need to be both powerful and of high quality. "He specifically wanted to avoid anything that looked and felt hi-fi," said Paul. "He was after a professional brand that was physically small enough not to be intrusive in an intimate environment, yet with enough power and quality to rock the place when the DJ comes on."
