For lighting controls, Prolites selected two lighting consoles from UK manufacturer, Avolites. The first was a Pearl Expert, complete with Touch Wing and Titan software. This is a high performance desk, but one that is very user friendly due to the fact it is built around the same mechanics as the original Pearl console. And over the years, the Pearl has become something of an industry standard. However, the Pearl Expert incorporates more submasters, more flash but- tons and more power, which in turn enables better control for large venues, such as White. The additional Touch Wing allows the lighting jockey faster intuitive programming, a wide screen touch interface with limitless scrollable windows, plus integrated video control and the ability to create their own personalised interface. The second desk is an Avolites Tiger Touch again, with Titan software. This is a definitive hybrid console, combining the powerful Diamond 4 functionality with the friendly Pearl interface. The Tiger Touch features an intuitive touch screen and is fitted with a high performance hardware platform. The touch interface provides a con- stantly evolving software package, ensuring the light jockey is always equipped with the latest lighting tools. There are also two Avolites Art 2000 Power Cube dimmers at White. These provide a complete dim- ming, mains and data distribution solution all in one rack. The visual element is provided by three LED screens, the largest being 25 metres wide by five metres high, the second is eight metres by four metres, and the other is a custom made ‘V’ shaped screen, which covers the façade of the DJ booth. The screens have been equipped with two Barco High End Systems Axon media servers to run the content. As the owners were keen to keep the video content fairly generic, Prolites advised them to choose the Axon media serv- ers. They were the ideal solution because the servers come equipped with more than 1,400 stock media clips and each has 200 folders for custom media clips, creating a whole host of image possibilities. A second reason for selecting the Axon media servers was their abil- ity to cater for a wide range of display resolutions - by including dual HD-SDI inputs - something that was essential at White and its three different LED screens.
By far the most challenging aspect of this project was the time scale. Raja and his team completed the trussing, lighting, video and special effects installation in just three days. The team worked non-stop for 72 hours in order to complete the venue on time. Raja was particularly pleased with architect Ramy Fawaz, who designed and executed the entire project and was very supportive throughout the whole process. He said: “There was a large quantity of products and we needed to install and implement them in a very short period. The owners of White knew what they wanted and they went into deep technical production details, so everything had to be just right.” The bar for White was set pretty high from the beginning, thanks to its predecessor, but with a ready-made reputation intact, the new es- tablishment is well equipped to take on the challenge of superseding its former self. The committed team from SPL, Prolites and operator Addmind have ensured White stands a good chance of achieving that goal within the very near future.

club est d’environ trois ans. Le club White de Beirut a défié ces chiffres et est dans sa septième année de fonctionnement. Plus tôt cette année, le White a quitté son emplacement originel pour de plus grands locaux possédés et opérés par Addmind. L’ancien club White avait un système de sonorisation Outline, et bien qu’il s’agissait du favori pour le nouveau club, Addmind a tout de même tenu à considérer d’autres fabricants. Le distributeur d’Outline au Liban, SPL Sound, a démontré les capacités des produits dans le but d’assurer un deuxième succès d’Outline au White. SPL Sound a installé deux ensembles de lignes, et chacun comprenant six caissons Butterfly CDH, trois caissons Butterfly CDL et trois éléments Mantas VLA. Pour compléter l’installation audio, SPL Sound a choisi 10 caissons de basses Subtech 218, 18 amplificateurs T Seven, et deux processeurs Genius M412. Prolites, une entreprise réputée du Moyen Orient, a été chargée de parachever la conception, les fournitures, l’harmonisation entre les différentes installations, l’éclairage, la vidéo et les effets spéciaux du White. Prolites a choisi plus de 100 projecteurs mobiles Cyclop, montés sur quatre structures circulaires de Truss-Tech, ainsi que trois écrans LED. Dans le même temps, les commandes d’éclairage ont été fournies grâce à deux consoles Avolite, un émetteur-récepteur Wireless Solutions et un lot récepteur.
DEUTSCH Jeder Clubbing Veteran weiß, dass eine Nightclubbing-Einrichtung
durchschnittlich drei Jahre hält. Der White Club in Beirut hat solchen Quoten getrotzt und befindet sich jetzt in seinem siebten Betriebsjahr. Anfang des Jahres zog White mit dem Besitzer und Betreiber Addmind von seinem ursprünglichen Standort in größere Räumlichkeiten um. Der ehemalige White Club verfügte über eine Outline Audio Anordnung und während dies ein Favorit für den neuen Treff war, wollte Addmind gleichzeitig andere Hersteller berücksichtigen. Der Händler von Outline im Libanon, SPL Sound, zeigte die Fähigkeiten der Produkte in der Absicht, einen zweiten Erfolg für Outline bei White zu garantieren. SPL Sound installierte zwei Line-Arrays, jede mit sechs Butterfly CDH Cabinets und drei Mantas VLA Elementen. Zur Vervollständigung des Audio Line-up hat SPL Sound 10 Subtech 218 Bass-Cabinets, 18 T Seven Verstärker und zwei Genius M412 Prozessoren festgelegt. Prolites, ein bekanntes Unternehmen im Nahen Osten, wurde beauftragt, das Design zu komplettieren, dem White Traversen, Beleuchtung, Video und Spezialeffekte zu liefern und zu installieren. Prolites legte mehr als 100 Cyclops Movingheads fest, die auf vier Traversenkreisen von Truss-Tech montiert sind, plus drei LED Bildschirme. Die Beleuchtungssteuerung erfolgt über zwei Avolites Konsolen und ein kabelloses Transceiver- und Receiver-Package.
ITALIANO Qualsiasi veterano delle discoteche sa che la durata media di vita di una
discoteca affermata è di circa tre anni. La discoteca White a Beirut ha sfidato tali previsioni, ed è attualmente al suo settimo anno di gestione. Nei primi mesi di quest’anno, la sede della White è stata trasferita in un’altra sede più grande, con il proprietario e l’operatore della Addmind. La discoteca White precedente aveva un impianto audio configurato Outline, e nonostante fosse una certezza riconfermata per il nuovo locale, la Addmind volle prendere in considerazione altri produttori. I distributori Outline in Libano, la SPL Sound, dimostrarono la funzionalità dei prodotti nel tentativo di garantire un secondo successo Outline alla White. La SPL Sound installò due assortimenti di elementi uguali, ognuno composto da sei elementi Butterfly CDH, tre elementi CDL e tre elementi Mantas VLA. Per completare il pacchetto audio la SPL Sound fissò 10 (dieci) casse Subtech 218, 18 (diciotto) amplificatori T Seven, e due processori Genius M412. Alla Prolites, una società ben conosciuta in Medio Oriente, venne chiesto di completare il progetto alla White, fornendo ed installando i sostegni, le luci, i video e gli effetti speciali. La Prolites fissò più di 100 (cento) testine rotanti Cyclops, che furono montate su 4 (quattro) sostegni circolari della Truss-Tech, oltre a tre video LED. Il pannello di controllo delle luci, per gentile concessione, fu fornito di due consolle Avolites, e di un pacchetto di soluzioni Wireless costituito da ricetrasmettitore e ricevitore.
ESPAÑOL Cualquier veterano aficionado a los clubes sabrá que la vida promedio
de un establecimiento de este tipo es alrededor de tres años. El club White en Beirut ha desafiado a esas probabilidades y actualmente se encuentra en su séptimo año de operaciones. Este año, White se trasladó de su lugar original hacia establecimientos más grandes con su dueño y operador Addmind. El club White anterior tenía una configuración de audio Outline. Y mientras ésta era una compañía favorita para el nuevo lugar, Addmind también tenía ganas de considerar a otros fabricantes. El distribuidor de Outline en el Líbano, SPL Sound, demostró las capacidades de los productos en una licitación para asegurar un segundo éxito para Outline en White. SPL Sound instaló un sistema de dos líneas, cada uno compuesto por seis gabinetes Butterfly CDH, tres gabinetes Butterfly CDL y tres elementos Mantas VLA. Para completar la línea de audio, SPL Sound especificó 10 gabinetes de bajos Subtech 218, 18 amplificadores T Seven y dos procesadores Genius M412. A Prolites, una conocida compañía del Oriente Medio, se le solicitó que complete el diseño, suministre e instale la estructura, la iluminación, el video y los efectos especiales en White. Prolites especificó más de 100 cabezales móviles Cyclops, los cuales se montaron en cuatro estructuras circulares de Truss-Tech más tres pantallas LED. Mientras el control de la iluminación fue suministrado por cortesía de dos consolas Avolites y un paquete de transceptor y recibidor de Wireless Solutions.
