High Volume for Volar in Hong Kong Central
Turbosound reports that its QLight products, together with models from the company's TSW, TXD and TCS series, have been installed at Volar, a new club in the Lan Kwai Fong area of central Hong Kong.
The area boasts a growing number of venues that now feature Turbosound-based
sound systems. Phoenix Audio and Lighting Technology, Turbosound's exclusive distributor for the Chinese territories, has been responsible for the turnaround, completing its most recent installation at Volar, a top-end members-only club.
QLight loudspeakers' compactness, clarity and power handing has been winning many friends in Hong Kong, with Volar being no exception. The club's new system also features TSW sub-bass units, plus TXD and TCS models, and due to the breadth of Turbosound products being deployed at Volar, it has become a major reference site for Phoenix Audio.
Mac Lo, the company's technical director, outlined the project: “Volar's owners and interior designer, X Act Limited, came to us with a requirement for a top-quality audio, lighting and visual-display system. The brief was to create something extraordinary for the relatively stale clubbing scene in Hong Kong. Due to the space constraints, the design called for compact loudspeaker enclosures, and Turbosound Qlight ystems can certainly produce the goods, achieving high SPLs from the small boxes.
We have achieved an even sound coverage throughout the club, with the quieter lounge area providing good sound quality at appropriately non-excessive levels, with plenty of punch in the necessary zones. Everyone is very satisfied with the results, including big-name international DJs, such as Chicago's Derrick Carter, and WestBam-one of Germany's leading DJs. More than 1000 people turned up on the club's opening night!”
The club's interior is divided into two main zones: the lounge area – a round “O”-shaped room - and the dance floor, which features a DJ stage, with four plasma and projector screens. Mac Lo's design for the dance floor area includes four QLight TQ-445 cabinets and four TSW-718 sub-woofers, as well as loudspeakers from Turbosound's TXD series - six TXD-081 units, plus TXD-115 sub-woofers. Two Turbosound TCS-59 loudspeakers were installed as DJ monitors, while loudspeaker management throughout the venue's various zones is handled by Turbosound's LMS-D6 and LMS-D4 systems
