Winner of 'Best Club in Australia' for three consecutive years, Family boasts line-ups with top international artists, and superior technical equipment.
Family installed the full V6 package - including additional EQ Isolator and Crossfader units - in their main dance arena, along with a Xone:92 for DJs requiring sliding channel faders and MIDI capability, and four Allen & Heath VF-1 filter units, one for each turntable and CD audio source. The Xone:V6 is a luxury rotary mixer, with valves on every input channel, discrete circuitry, precise filters, and oil-damped, ultra-smooth rotary faders.
"It's the first time I've heard a million dollars worth of sound from my million dollar sound system!" said Bevan Bickle, managing director of Family.
Elsewhere a Xone:62 now features in the Ice Bar on the second level, and a second Xone:92 was the choice for Unkle, the main dance arena on the second level.
"Family is an awesome club to enjoy as a punter or a DJ. The guys behind it paid attention to every single detail when building it - it's a true clubbing experience from the second you walk through the door, reminiscent of the early days at the Ministry Of Sound in London," said Jamie Kaye, Xone marketing manager for Allen & Heath in Australia. "It made sense to use the Xone:V6 in the main room as the sound system is one of the best in the country."
"The Xone:92 in Unkle has completely changed the dynamic of the room," commented resident DJ, Matt Stafford, of The Stafford Brothers. "The sound is now full and clear, it feels like there is a completely new sound system in there."
