Zinc, where the top club nights such as Hed Kandi, Funk-U, CocoCuba and Rewind attract a capacity 400-plus crowd, has three bars, a semi-outside terrace overlooking the seafront and a chill-out area. Essex-based club installation specialist Xtreme AV were asked to design and install a new system on long lease, having successfully provided the venue with rental systems in the past. A new EV Rx system was delivered; six Rx 212/75 high-output full-range cabinets, stacked three each side of the DJ booth, with four RX 218S subwoofers. Two Rx 115/75s provide infill where necessary.
ElectroVoice Precision Series amplifiers, including five P3000RL units, considered by Xtreme AV to be one of their secret weapons, power the system. "The ElectroVoice amplifiers can be linked up to the phone line," explains Duncan Baines, "which means that we can monitor their performance remotely from our base in Clacton. Our clients at Zinc just love the fact that we can do that, they find it very reassuring. We find it extremely efficient, cost-effective and convenient."
