HURRICANES GRILL
Company: BSS, JBL, Crown Location: Sydney, Australia
Looking to provide a comprehensive audio solution with the necessary power and flexibility for a full-service restaurant, systems integrator Constant Technology recommended an all-Harman solution for Australian’s latest Hurricanes Grill location. Local Harman distributor, Jands, provided all the components utilised in the installation. The system had to be high-performance yet cost-effective. It was also essen- tial the speakers would not be visible while still delivering quality sound and distribution throughout the restaurant. The venue consists of six audio zones that are powered by a range of Crown amplifiers. Six black JBL Control 47LP ceiling speakers cover the entry zone and four ceiling mounted JBL Control 52 speakers cover the main bar zone. Seven JBL Control 47LP ceiling speakers and a pair of JBL Control 40CS/T ceiling subwoofers cover the dining area. Six JBL Control 25AV Surface mount speakers, filled out with stainless steal grilles that provide an IP5 weather rating, cover the veranda zone. Con Constantinou, Managing Director of Constant Technology said: “It sounds great and the sound distribution works really well. The client was initially sur- prised by the amount of speakers we wanted to install but it was necessary to ensure there were no dead spots.” The system is controlled by a BSS BLU-100 networked signal processor. To eliminate the need for BSS wall controllers, the BSS software was customised and loaded onto the venue’s computers. “We loaded a custom interface onto their PC’s so that they can control all the zones, inputs and volume from every point of sale terminal and managers PC,” concluded Con.

NU TERAS
Company: Powersoft Location: Istanbul, Turkey
The Mars Entertainment Group, renowned as one of the most luxurious entertain- ment brands in Turkey, chose Powersoft distributor Asimetrik Sound, Lighting & Visual Systems to provide a professional solution for the rooftop nightclub venue Nu Teras, in the Taksim area of Istanbul. “In terms of location and operation Nu Teras sits right at the very top,” said
Görkem Çelikbilek, Electrical & Electronics Engineer and VP of Asimetrik. “Conse- quently, this is a great reference installation for us and a large step towards improv- ing Turkey’s vision of professional audio systems. We invested maximum effort in designing a system that can only be described as world class.” However, operating in the open air and being positioned between residential buildings, created a sig- nificant challenge: to design a system that sounded fantastic but at the same time caused minimum noise pollution. “The installation therefore required the highest quality components, and so we chose a solution using products from Powersoft and EAW. The resulting sound experience is magnificent.” Powersoft was an obvious choice, he said. “First of all we needed plenty of power, as we had to deliver the most efficient signal to the speakers at all times. Reliability was the second reason. We sometimes get power variances in Istanbul and the Powersoft amplifiers make it safe for the loudspeakers, as it provides protection against voltage drops from the power grid.” The system solution consists of several Powersoft K2 and K10 amplifiers with onboard DSP, powering EAW JFL210, JF80, JF10 and SB250 cabinets. Early evening the system delivers hi-fidelity chillout music as an ambient soundscape for the diners, but after midnight this transforms into full-on house music. This transi- tion is carefully managed in the Powersoft environment, Görkem said: “The DSP and flexibility of the system enable us to deliver perfect filtering, EQ, and sound quality while providing the speaker with sufficient non-stop power.” And while Powersoft’s advanced DSP helps the venue deliver homogenous sound inside the venue, the flexibility of the loudspeaker dispersion angles made it pos- sible to avoid sound leakage to the surrounding environment. Görkem concluded: “We can compare this place’s sound quality with anywhere we have visited. The resident DJs, guest DJs and guests are constantly complimenting us on the sound.”
