CARNIVAL CITY
Carnival City ultra sports lounge combines a restaurant, lounge, bar and club in a sports style environ- ment. It is located in the Gulf City Mall in San Fernando, Trinidad and is part of the Carnival City brand, which also includes the casino next door, Carnival City members club. The theme at Carnival City is gaming whether it be in the form of sports matches on the 32 LED screens, games of luck or the interactive gaming table tops. The venue is aimed to be a place of indulgence where visitors can be entertained by gaming as well as enjoying the fi nest cocktails, delicious food and the ultimate party atmosphere. With so many strings to its bow, Carnival City needed an adaptable audio system that would cater to each individual aspect of the venue. During the day and early evening the audio requirement is back- ground music with high SPLs for the restaurant and lounge areas but as the night draws in high energy bass levels are needed in order to compete on the Caribbean nightlife scene. Streamline Systems were called upon to design and install the audio, lighting and visual technology at Carnival City and Director Michael Pereira once again turned to Electro-Voice for the sound equipment. The most important element of the design for this multipurpose venue was versatility so Michael opted for 10 Electro-Voice EVF-1122D loudspeakers and six Electro-Voice EVF-2151D double 15-inch subwoofers for the main PA system. A pair of Electro-Voice EVF-1122D loudspeakers aimed at the dancefl oor can be used when required and there are Electro-Voice Live-X ELX-115P loudspeakers in place for stage and for DJ monitors.
The audio experience continues on the outdoor patio area, where Michael specifi ed two Electro-Voice ZX5-90PI weatherised loudspeakers producing high SP, while the VIP rooms and the restrooms are both covered by Electro-Voice’s EVID C8.2 ceiling loudspeakers meaning every inch of the venue is submerged in a musical enclosure. Eight Electro-Voice CPS2.12 amplifi ers power the audio system and an Ashly Protea ne24.24m DSP matrix processor takes care of the processing requirements. Michael said: “With multiple presets the staff at Carnival City are able to mute the loudspeakers aimed at the multipurpose dancefl oor when required and change EQ settings between lounge and club mode.” Live gigs do take place at Carnival City although they are usually fairly intimate affairs, a Yamaha MG- 166CX compact and lightweight console takes charge of mixing the performances. The console offers 16 inputs and a built-in digital multi-effect processor with 16 effect programs, these equip the sound engineer at Carnival City with reverb, delay, modulation, and distortion tools to defi ne the sound for the audience.
The operators of Carnival City asked Michael for a lighting solution made up entirely of LED fi xtures. The lighting brief was to illuminate the walls and bring the venue to life during the lounge period and then follow through with full club effects later in the evening.
A total of 70 Artic Lighting LumiRain ED3B103 LED colour bars have been installed for wall wash.
