The entertainment installation business is awash with entrepreneurial spirit and enterprise. You only need to flick through past issues of mondo*dr to see the kind of self-made individuals who populate our industry. It’s no surprise really. These people tend to be attracted to their particular specialism - audio, lighting and / or visuals - by a passionate force from within; a date with destiny, if you like, rather than because they’ve opted for a conservative career path. And the thing about ambition is, it doesn’t know when to stop. Adam Freemer has worked in the AV industry since 2004, working for several companies in the Philadelphia and New York areas, before joining Philadelphia based systems integrator AVSG in 2007. In 2009, following a six-month stint with Clareo Networks in New York, Adam’s ambition brought him his own AV company - Sonic Solutions LLC - offering consultancy, installation and engineering services. As well as sub-company, Adam Freemer Audio, which has brought his own line of custom speakers and audio products to market. It was during his time as Primary System Engineer with AVSG that Freemer first made his mark on the Rittenhouse Square neighbourhood of Philadelphia, when he designed the entertainment technology solution for G Lounge in 2008. He returned to the area with Sonic Solutions LLC, when G Lounge’s owners appointed the company as specifiers for new nightclub, Whisper.


G LOUNGE G Lounge is an upmarket lounge and restaurant located in the city’s fashionable Rittenhouse Square, which has been billed as ‘technologically injected pure bliss’. The venue features multi- zoned audio, video and lighting systems, which creates a flexible environment that can function as several neighbouring zones, or can be grouped together to create one or several larger party and performance areas. “Our ultimate objective was to create a flexible space that could be manipulated to create a multitude of different scenarios,” explained Freemer. “We can create up to 15 individual zones, each of which can access any of several audio and video feeds.” Audio for the club’s main area is based around Community Professional’s VERIS and iBOX Series systems, with eight VERIS 8 wall-mounted 8-inch systems and 12 flown VERIS 1296 12-inch two-way boxes, as well as four flown IHP-1596 15-inch cabinets for the main dancefloor. The Mogul Room, an ultra-private area fashioned out of a former vault, is outfitted with two more VERIS 8 wall-mounted systems and another pair of SBS-12 subs, creating a warm, subdued and very exclusive atmosphere. The two dancefloor areas are powered by Thrive amplifiers from Summit Audio, which made G Lounge one of the first venues in the world to feature the amps.
