068 VENUE
a monitoring system that would typically be used as the main PA in a small live venue.
While the sound system has been specified to be aurally impactful and visually discrete, the lighting and video elements are designed to be just the opposite.
The main rig was custom designed at Audiotek’s design workshop. It takes the iconic Hakkasan ‘double-K’ logo and uses the form and shape to create a physical presence for the brand within the dramatic space. The rig is further dramatised by the use of Acclaim LED on a reflective base to create an etherial hovering entity that supports the lighting.
The visual spectacle above the dancefloor has been created using 16 Robe Robin 300E Beams, 16 Clay Paky Sharpy fixtures, 16 Martin Professional MAC350 Entour profiles and 18 ETC Source Four LED Lustre+ luminaires with custom gobos. Plus the addition of some of Robe’s latest products - 12 Robe Pointe fixtures and 8 Robe DLX Spots. Frank explained the benefit: “The main room and pavilion lighting have been further augmented by the installation of the new- est Robe fixtures, which advances the visual sensory package into the realm of touring arena show sophistication.” The mezzanine has 18 Robe Robin 100 LEDBeams and eight more ETC Source Four LED Lustre+ units. Effects include six Robe Fazer 1500 haze machines, two Salvin Design confetti canons with DMX and colour flame, four Salvin Design CO2 bazukas and a Kyro Geni- flex liquid nitrogen unit.
As the focal point of the room, the raised DJ area is home to a feast of lighting and effects units. The line-up includes eight Robe Robin 300 Beams, eight Elation Elar Quad panels, 12 matrix blinders, two custom arc and lighting bars, two upright curve lighting bars and four RTI Nano 4 RYGB 20 lasers using Pangolin LD2000 software. Lighting and effects elements are controlled by a Chamsys MagicQ MQ300 Pro console - with 32 universes, 58 full playbacks, two external monitor outputs and in-built Ethernet switch, UPS and solid state drive.
The DJ area is backed by a huge LED video display, which stretches

to the height of three floors, and wraps around the front of the DJ station, adding to the drama and heightened sensory overload. It is made up of Absen AI06 full-colour LED displays and Absen K6 displays - covering 125 sq metres in total. Video control is managed using Resolume Avenue and MadMapper software. “This video technology is uniquely mirrored in the pavilion and in the Ling Ling room,” said Frank. “All the screens are under the command of world renowned VJ and video artist Ed Shaw of Ne1co. Turbo- sound and Audiotek personnel were familiar with Ed’s work from projects in the UK and in India. He is a genius.”
PAVILION
Adjacent to the main nightclub is the pavilion - an indoor space with an outdoor feel, which features an oriental garden, two-storey water feature and lush life-like foliage. It operates either as an extension of the main nightclub or independently, hence a technical package that is capable of standing alone or seamlessly aligning with the main club.
In terms of the specified equipment, the pavilion mirrors many of the choices made in the main space. Four hangs of four Turbosound TFA-600HW modules and two Turbosound TFA-600L low frequency loudspeakers cover the main space. Further low frequency reinforce- ment comes from six groundstacked Turbosound TFA-600B bass enclosures. Six Turbosound TCS-122 loudspeakers address the peripheral areas and Turbosound TCS-C50T ceiling loudspeakers the corridors and bathroom areas.
The DJ set-up is the same as the main room, with four Pioneer CDJ- 2000 DJ decks, a Pioneer DJM-900 DJ mixer, Pioneer RMX-1000 remix console, Rane Serato Box and a Shure wireless microphone system. Monitoring duties are handled by two Turbosound Milan M15 active two-way speakers and two Turbosound B18 subwoofers. The symmetry continues with the lighting spec, which boasts 12 Robe Robin 300E Beam fixtures - offering full-colour mixing, a colour wheel with seven replaceable dichroic filters, plus static and rotating gobo wheels.
