VENUE 113
Avalon Series for the dancefl oor area and DJ booth. However, be- cause Cirque du Soleil acrobats can drop into the venue from any one of the 30 access points - that are connected to six winch motors - it was not possible for John to fl y the main system, instead he mounted the EAW Avalon
Club.two and
Club.three loudspeakers onto steel plates that sit atop six custom-made poles spaced evenly across the four-levelled dancefl oor. The EAW Avalon loudspeakers are supplemented by an EAW Avalon
Sub.two hybrid subwoofer and 10 Fulcrum Acoustic Prophile US221 subwoofers, which were created by the company for one of John’s previous projects. The subwoofers are loaded with two 21-inch drivers yet are compact in size and deliver a great deal of low frequency energy to the dancefl oor, something which is considered a must for any electronic dance music nightclub.
John continued: “Light is a large vacuous space with an enormous refl ective wall on one side. To mitigate the secondary and tertiary refl ections that would otherwise plague the room, we made sure that
proper absorption was installed where possible. All of the platforms that were built were designed to provide low frequency absorption as well so the room sounds powerful but not cavernous.” The two mezzanine levels overlooking the dancefl oor offer additional seating areas within the venue, however, the use of multiple tiers posed some challenges in terms of sightlines. John and his team selected 16 Fulcrum Acoustic Prophile M double 12-inch coaxial loudspeakers as the best solution to minimise obstructive views. “The Fulcrum Prophile M enclosures have a low-profi le, horizontally oriented cabinet design, and are fl own at various levels in the room to provide good sightlines from each of the seating levels,” commented Fulcrum Acoustic’s David Gunness.
Fulcrum Acoustic US212 subwoofers line the edges of the curved dancefl oor to extend subwoofer impact into the seating areas. These double 12-inch subwoofers are small in size so they were easy to install intot the small places that were available, such as the cavities under different platforms.
