background music or DJs that is on offer at Trader Vic’s, and when George needed a system that would provide increased power and fl exibility, he opted for Tannoy’s VXP Series. Each cabinet benefi ts from a range of fi xed-install and portable mounting points as well as road-ready powder-coated steel grille and
Lab.gruppen’s new IntelliDrive energy-effi cient amplifi er module. The
Lab.gruppen IDEEA modules are designed to handle the demands of fi xed installation audio, with the inherent extended duty cycles of around- the-clock operation and very high performance demands, while offering the durability, high power output and clarity required by portable applications. The VXP Series also marks the fi rst time that sister companies Tannoy and
Lab.gruppen have worked together on a single product, a fact not lost on George. “We are very keen to work with companies who challenge themselves, innovating over current technology,” he said. “Lab. gruppen and Tannoy were always in that class, and we feel that the pairing of the two brands and technologies in the VXP Series is a very potent combination.” That respect for
Lab.gruppen carried through into the amplifi er choice used to power the passive elements of the overall system, with a number of the new Energy Star certifi ed E Series install- centric amplifi ers being installed at Trader Vic’s. Launched in late 2011, the E Series provides ample power reserves with low power consumption, reducing the total cost of ownership below that of conventional designs. George commented: “Rack space was premium and ensuring we were not generating heat within an already tight rack was a big technical challenge. We are aware that
Lab.gruppen made great amplifi ers, but hadn’t yet used the new E Series.” For the pre-recorded musical element of the venue, an Apart 4,000 media player was installed, which is easy very simple and easy to use. For DSP control George went for Biamp’s Nexia RED-1F fl ush- mount controls. “The system is confi gured in such a way that the restaurant operator can switch sources and level control - for example from live band on stage to media playback - and this can be achieved very quickly on the RED-1F user interface,” he said. With such a state-of-the-art system in place now, Trader Vic’s has maintained its existing reputation in the Middle East and now owners RMAL Hospitality has another fl agship venue that is better than it could have hoped for, as George testifi ed: “The owners and operator were thrilled that we were able to provide them with a sound system that exceeded their expectations in every way.”
