Mac Lo, Phoenix's technical director, said: "Volar's owners and interior designer, X Act Limited, wanted a top-quality audio, lighting and visual-display system. The brief was to create something extraordinary for the relatively stale clubbing scene in Hong Kong. Due to space constraints, the design called for compact loudspeaker enclosures, and Turbosound QLight systems can certainly produce the goods, achieving high SPLs from the small boxes and an even sound coverage throughout the club. Everyone is very satisfied with the results, including international DJs such as Chicago's Derrick Carter, and WestBam, one of Germany's leading DJs."
The club's interior is divided into two main zones: the circular lounge area and the dance floor, which features a DJ stage with four plasma and projector screens. Mac Lo's design for the dance floor area includes four QLight TQ-445 cabinets and four TSW-718 sub-woofers, as well as six TXD-081 loudspeakers and TXD-115 sub-woofers. Two Turbosound TCS-59 loudspeakers were installed as DJ monitors, while loudspeaker management throughout the venue's various zones is handled by LMS-D6 and LMS-D4 systems.
