NICOSIA, Cypress – Renkus-Heinz distributor S&V MegaSound has kept busy recently with installations completed within a cathedral, conference center and two nightclubs. One of those was at Little Buddha, a club with music that ranges from Latin and Oriental lounge beats to upbeat house tunes as the evening progresses.
S&V MegaSound specified 16 TRX81 2-way full range loudspeakers and four PNX112 subwoofers, powered by MC2 T1000 and T20000 amplifiers. A Symmetrix Zone Mix 760 digital zone mixer with ARC2i remote control panels handles audio routing. S&V MegaSound also supplied the DJ setup of Pioneer CD decks and mixer and an American DJ MP3 player for background music playout.
The bar is laid out as one large space subdivided into two different areas, requiring zoning of the sound system. "We tried out various scenarios in pre-testing," said S&V MegaSound owner Stelios Petrides, "and programming a range of different presets for background music for the restaurant and different settings for the DJ in the lounge bar, where the ambience called for more subwoofers and more power overall."
The bar's plush décor and acoustically-treated ceiling were good news: "there's really no reverberation at all," Petrides noted. The system is designed to project sound away from the one large glass wall that could otherwise have created reflection problems.
"It was one of our biggest projects of the last year," Petrides said, "and we have a very satisfied customer who's very happy with the results."
