that when you move around, the time relationship between the various components stays fairly consistent. In other words the sweet spot is larger. “We work with Carl Cox and Ritchie Hawtin because they know what they need for their audio and it is my job to understand and translate their requirements into products which deliver their expectations,” continued Tony. “We saw Output as the perfect place for one of the fi rst installations of the new PSM318 DJ monitoring systems.” Power for the monitoring system comes from one MC² Audio T1000 amplifi er, one MC² Audio T1500 amplifi er and two MC² Audio T2000 amplifi ers; while the DJ equipment includes two Technics SL-1210 Mk2 turntables, one Pioneer DJM-900 mixer, an Allen & Heath Xone:92 mixer and three Pioneer CDJ-2000nexus multiplayers.
For the raised VIP area and side bar, eight Funktion One F101 loudspeakers and two Funktion One F118 Mk2 loudspeakers have been installed, which are powered by three MC² Audio T2000 amplifi ers and one MC² Audio E100 amplifi er. Around the balcony six Funktion One Resolution 1.5 TT loudspeakers, specifi cally designed for venues with low ceilings can be found, next to six Funktion One F118 Mk2’s, and four Funktion One F101’s, these enclosures are powered by one MC² Audio E100 amplifi er, two MC² Audio T1500 amplifi ers, and one MC² Audio E90 amplifi er. Behind the scenes, all processing is taken care of by two XTA DP448 digital audio processors and one BSS Soundweb London BLU-160 networked digital signal processor. “It made a real difference working in a properly treated room,” said Tony. “It was a real joy and when we fi nally played some of our favourite tunes and took the opportunity to have a dance I knew this was one of the most powerful, cleanest systems I have ever experienced.” On the lighting side, the goal was to create an environment more akin to underground warehouse venues. Project Manager, George Alan worked alongside Adam Burroughs of Oxygen Lightworks on the lighting installation at Output. Nicolas and his partners opted for different lighting rental possibilities for the majority of intelligent lighting, changing with the needs of the particular night, and there is a foundation of just four Martin Professional MAC Aura moving heads in the venue. Additional lighting comes from four Chauvet SlimPAR Pro Tri lighting fi xtures and 60 Chauvet COLORBand TRI lighting fi xtures, while control comes from a ChamSys MagicQ MQ100 lighting desk; the rest, is architectural, as George explained: “Over 90% of the lighting in the space consists of architectural lighting that was reclaimed from eastern European chemical factories, then gutted and retrofi tted with modern technology. The aim here was to provide fully controllable lighting from non-traditional looking sources. “Some of the featured architectural lighting includes a 65ft long backlit skylight which was painstakingly preserved from the original factory that Output is in. Also, the grid of 28 fi xtures that populate the wall behind the DJ booth are similarly retrofi tted communist era ‘bulkhead’ lights from a petrochemical plant in Prague circa 1950.” Fortunately, the existing structure of the building had been used for heavy manufacturing, allowing the use of many exposed i-beams and steel members for hanging purposes. “There are numerous confi gurations of lighting rigs that we bring in, on an as needed basis but by and large we were fortunate enough not to have too many glitches in our install process,” said George. When asked what made this project so interesting, for George, it was simple, watching the complete acoustical isolation of the main space and the elaborate customisation of the lighting system come together.
