080 VENUE
“Visiting artists and DJs from around the world tested the system, and they withstood all the challenges and the attacks thrown at them. The same quality performance and audio output has remained throughout the years. The speakers were installed in three different places and the system is pumping.
“So, when it came to selecting a new audio system for White, Outline was the perfect investment for this new entertainment business. The speakers have been installed in three different places and the system is pumping. Selecting the top of the range Butterfly product definitely speaks for itself, and the choice will never be a source of regret for the club owner. Outline was a combination of a great sound quality and a great investment.” To complete the audio package, the SPL team selected 18 T Seven amplifiers to power the system, and two Genius M412’s for processing. The T Series amplifiers feature DIGAM (DIGital AMplifier) technology, which provides plenty of high power and long-term reli- ability - two essential features if the new White is going to take on its former self in the age stakes. While the Genius M412 matrix is the ideal integrated solution to control the complex audio system; they feature highly dynamic converters and have a very low distortion rate, as well as a high performance computation unit based on a SHARC, a twin floating-point processor. The Genius M412’s offer Addmind great practically, which will play its part in pleasing the international DJs they hope to attract.
Elie said: “According to the testimonial of more than 15 DJs and artists who have worked in White, this is one of the most beauti- ful sound systems they’ve ever heard or worked with. They were amazed!”
The lighting and visual design began in a territory that is familiar to all in the technology world, the tradeshow. Addmind visited the Prolites booth at the Audio-Visual Sound and Image Show in December 2010. Prolites is a well-know company in the Middle East, which designs, supplies and installs products for the entertainment indus- try. General Manager of Prolites, Raja Harfocuhe said: “After the show we met with the clients, engineers and decision makers and discussed what technology we could provide and implement into the project.” Shortly after the consultation, Addmind instructed Prolites to design, supply and install the trussing, lighting, video and special effects at White. Arguably the first thing visitors notice at White is the four circular truss structures, each of which is six metres in diameter, and have been manufactured by Truss-Tech. The truss acts as a sort of canapé over the open-air venue, and across the four structures, Prolites has mounted more than 100 moving heads using ChainMaster BGVD8 1K chain hoists.

Prolites opted to install Cyclops Lighting moving heads at White, primarily because it is the distributor of this brand in the Middle East. However, Raja was also confident that “the brand was reliable, cost effective, and powerful.”
The lighting rig comprises 54 CL700S-ER 700W moving head spots, which make use of the Philips MSR Gold 700 SA/2 lamps. A further 32 CPX52-MR LED RGBW moving heads offer 13 DMX channels and a long lifespan thanks to their LED qualities. And finally, 20 beam fixtures - 12 CL300B-ER 300W units and eight CL1200B-ER 1,200W / 2,000W units - complete the moving head inventory. Each Cyclops fixture is equipped with wireless DMX capabilities, and there- fore the control package at White included eight Wireless Solution WDMX transceivers and 106 Wireless Solution WDMX receivers. To enhance the lighting and effects at the venue, Prolites chose to install a staggering 3,000 metres of flexible LED strips, as well as special effects including hazers, smoke machines and CO2 jets, all
