112 VENUE
“Saying that if they didn’t sound as good as they look I would not have used them. My reputation is based on great sound, and in this respect the Void system really delivered,” continued Dave. The Void system was installed throughout the venue. The system in the VIP Room featured another 10 cabinets from the Void Mycro range, alongside a further four Axsys 12’s, and three Waveform S subwoofers. While the Function Room has been kitted out with two Basys system, each include a pair of B12 mid hi cabinets and a pair of B15 bass cabinets. An Out Board Electronics TiMax2 SoundHub-R16 system matrix was used for overall zone control running through three of Void Live Drive loudspeaker management processors. A total of 15 Void Infinite amplifiers, and a couple of Pulz 4120 amps, which look after some of the smaller speakers, power the system. Dave described the inner working of the sound system. He said: “We kept the configuration fairly simple as getting technical staff here is a problem. Most of the control is ‘locked out’ so nobody can fiddle with it. “The system is run in a quad format with the SoundHub being used for system presets, matrixes and delays and the Live Drives for EQ and crossovers. It’s fairly complex in that sense but in terms of day- to-day use and maintenance it’s easy to use. “As I said, finding competent staff is a big issue here so keeping it simple needs to be at the forefront in your mind when working on projects like this.” Dave also selected the equipment for the DJ booth, and he opted for Pioneer. This is a well-recognised brand around the world, and is the brand most DJs request. He was also keen to maintain a

fairly simple DJ line-up as he feels most DJs in India are now using Ableton through a laptop rather than CDs. Next came the lighting installation. With an aesthetically pleasing, first-class sound system already in place, the lighting fixtures needed to be equally matched. Dave explained the initial thoughts on the lighting package: “The low ceiling height dictated a lot in terms of choice of lighting and Tim had a few ideas in what he wanted the lighting to do but we were able to achieve what we both wanted with a minimum of fuss.” In the end, Dave opted for eight Robe 575 scanners, coupled with 64 Kam LED 800S fixtures, four Kam Powercans and a Pro 1500RGB laser from Laserworld. “I have used Robe on many projects so using their kit was a bit of a no brainer. I also have a good relationship with Ian Brown and Bill Jones at Robe UK, so they were a great help. I prefer using scanners as they require less maintenance and because of the low ceiling, moving heads would not have worked, so I am happy with the 575 scanners we installed.” The LEDs from Kam were also a product Dave had used before, during his time kitting out matter in London. The LED battens lent themselves well to Tim’s design, so Kam was an easy choice. Dave continued: “I spent a long time looking at lasers and the Laserworld 1500RGB fit the bill in terms of price and ease of use, again the people at Laserworld were really helpful and made it a lot easier to choose the product.” For lighting control, an Avolites Tiger Touch console was selected. The Tiger Touch is a hybrid console, which features fast, accessible, hands-on control and works in conjunction with an intuitive touch screen. For the lighting fixtures installed at Kismet, this is an ideal
