Next Top Club
was spot on, I would have adopted the same approach. When we’re asked to do a job like this we always consider how the club operates. That’s not just making sure you keep sound energy off the bar serving area, it also requires that we thoroughly consider the listening areas. The placement of the various loudspeaker components, and the fact that Doan had allowed for a single amplifier channel per cabinet operation in critical locations, meant that by using the d&b R60 Remote interface we could tune certain zones for lower intensity listening.”
The FOH system is configured using Qi1 installation loudspeakers in hangs of five, plus a Qi7 for down-fill either side of the stage. A Qi- SUB cluster comprising three Qi-SUB subwoofers in CSA (cardiod subwoofer array) configuration are flown next to the Qi1 clusters. On the ground, two further clusters of three Qi-SUB subwoofers in CSA configuration, and four B2-SUB subwoofers to take care of the extended low frequencies were installed. A total of six E8 high performance loudspeakers, and six E12-D wide dispersion angle loudspeakers were fitted under the side balconies to supplement the main system (two E12-Ds are used as DJ monitors), while six Qi10 passive 2-way speakers were fitted in the upper balcony. Sebastian said: “It worked well within the room and provided optimal performance in terms of sound pressure level, coverage and discrete position.”
The entire system is controlled by a d&b R60 Remote network, which splits the club into zones. Then network allows for individual control for each area, so the owners are able to create a true clubbing atmosphere on the dancefloor, and can produce a more relaxed and friendly ambience in the seating areas.
Imran summed up the success of this project, believing the owners made a good choice when they selected d&b. He said: “The sound is very strong yet curiously doesn’t hurt your ears. Investing in the best is the only way to go ahead.”

The next big venue to hit the Hanoi clubbing scene was Next Top Club, which is located in the basement of the seven star hotel, The Grande Plaza.
After successfully setting up New Square and managing six other clubs in Vietnam, the owners had plenty of experience in the nightlife industry, but with Next Top they set their sights even higher.
