Venue News Void Acoustics is Kingpin in North London
Camden in North London is known for its eclectic nightlife and in recent months, Monarchy on Chalk Farm Road has re-opened its doors with a new name and a complete venue refurbishment including a total upgrade of the audio to a Void Acoustics system.
Formerly known as The Monarch, and where Amy Winehouse once DJ’ed, this popular bar/pub is a stone’s throw from The Roundhouse
– the iconic North London music venue. And whilst it may have new owner operators (AB-InBev), and a fresh new look, the venue remains committed, and connected to, its music heritage. And so there is no surprise that a full audio upgrade with a high-end Void Acoustics audio system was central to the re-fit.
It’s not the first time that Void Acoustics has partnered with London based integrator AT&C Professional Systems to specify and install a fully integrated Void system.
Alan Smith, Business Development Manager for AT&C takes up the story.
“The brief we were given was to create a venue which was the ultimate sports-viewing experience in Camden, with deference to the music heritage of the area as well,” explains Alan. “Whilst the owners appreciate quality sound, their audio knowledge is, by their own admission, limited. And so it was great that we have been able to harness our expertise alongside a strong working relationship with the team at Void Acoustics and specify a high performance audio system which would do justice to this important venue on Chalk Farm Road.”
The decision to install a significant sized audio system was particularly important because AB-InBev has chosen Monarchy as a flagship pilot venue with a huge variety of application requirements, from playback music to TV sound reinforcement for sport event concepts and live music performances. So coverage and system headroom were both important factors to consider alongside the desire for a compact distributed system for the venue with sufficient performance capabilities given the very music driven nature of the location.
The extensive refurb saw the venue completely modernised, with a nod to the much loved local craft beer venue it was before the pandemic lockdowns. AT&C had worked with the venue operators on six previous projects including Goose Island Brewpub in Shoreditch and so the operator was very happy when AT&C recommended Void Acoustics as a good fit for the site and its aspirations. “It has also provided us with an excellent opportunity to specify the Venu series from Void Acoustics” smiles Alan. “It was critical to our client that the new audio installation was adaptable for a variety of different style events, whilst reliably and consistently delivering a clear, crisp audio impact for their clientele.”
