100 VENUE
“They make my job easy;
I can select loudspeakers to precisely fit the needs of power and coverage
from any of their different ranges, and I know they will all sound the same, and that sound is perfect.”

go ahead [with d&b] rather than any other company.” Alex specified the system for Lili Marleen. He selected a stage system of d&b Ci7-TOPs and Ci7-SUBs, augmented elsewhere by B2-SUBs, with more than 20 MAX12’s distributed around the venue for local reinforcement. He chose this configuration specifically, “because we’ve already installed this kind of speaker system in other clubs and it’s been very successful.” Local company Dragon Studio then installed the system. Head of the company Johnny Tang and his team have worked with Daniel and d&b for a number of years, completing a number of projects together. Johnny said: “Supported by Daniel Chan at d&b China I have made several installation designs using d&b systems over the last eight years.” He continued: “They make my job easy; I can select loudspeakers to precisely fit the needs of power and coverage from any of their different ranges, and I know they will all sound the same, and that sound is perfect. This club is quite large at 1,000 sq metres but I was able to comfortably achieve even coverage across the full frequency range whatever the music style. And system performance is powerful when needed; the room has many hard reflective surfaces, so pattern control had to be absolute. The MAX12’s proved ideal for filling those difficult to cover hidden corners.” Mr Chen continued: “Fantastic bass and very well defined, an essential ingredient for the ‘house’ style of music our clients like to hear in the evenings. The mids and highs perform beautifully, and Dragon Studio who made the installation have created something fully adaptable, so the switch from DJ format to live band is fast and easy with absolutely no loss of sound quality or power. For us an ideal solution.” The relationship between the owners and d&b has become one of mutual respect. Mr Wong and Mr Chen were so pleased with the work d&b carried out at Lili Marleen, that they gave d&b the drawings for the next project without hesitation. Daniel and Alex got to work designing the system for the next venture straight away. Mr Wong said: “It’s the brand name... it’s d&b. So in the future I will use it again. I have set up a long-term relationship with d&b.” Amplification at Lili Marleen is courtesy of d&b D12 amplifiers, while processing is taken care of by MC² Ti1048’s. These processors offer full matrix mixing and a palette of EQ functions, which means they are comfortably able to satisfy this kind of application. The system is controlled using a Yamaha 01V96VCM digital mixing console. The 01V96VCM comes with a selection of Yamaha’s unsurpassed VCM effects built in, giving this console ultimate flexibility for switching between live performance acts and DJs. Dragon Studio is a well-established installation company, having completed a number of other nightclub projects in Shenzhen,
