Cosmic Installs Void in The House and Terrace
Void Acoustics reports that its loudspeaker systems, control electronics and power amplifiers have been installed in The House Club and Terrace, in Greenwich, London. With design and installation by Essex-based Cosmic Electronics, the system represents the first part of a phased upgrade of the club's audio facilities, featuring Void's Stasys 8 subs and Impulse 3t mid/highs, with Mycro 8 full-range compacts as fills and DJ monitors. The success of the Void installation has already resulted in plans to re-equip the venue's other rooms to the same standard, using Void-based systems.
The House was looking for a new sound system for its Upstairs room, to reinforce its growing popularity and complement its smart, up-market surroundings, as Mark Damon, director of Cosmic Electronics, explained: "The House and Terrace is a top venue, and one of south London's most up and coming clubs. Closely linked to Space in Ibiza - with monthly Space nights - the club had already experienced Void products, such as the Mycro 8s as DJ monitors in their main room. They were impressed with what they heard and chose an all-Void system when the time came to re-equip the Upstairs space. The new system had to be a good fit with the club's interior, provide the required sound levels and, of course, meet the budget. Once customers have heard Void systems, they are usually convinced - Void's combination of style and performance for the cost is arguably unbeatable, and it's great to see them appearing in more and more venues. Their loudspeakers are also less dependent on electronic processing than some brands, making it simpler to get a good sounding result.
"Many top-name DJs play at the House and Terrace, including Boy George and other Ibiza regulars. They all love the sound of the new system and, as a result, the venue's management has already decided to install Void systems throughout. At Cosmic, where we have worked with Void over the last two years, we have also taken the decision to update our hire stock with Void products - they're a good company to deal with, and the loudspeakers designs are excellent."
In the 200-capacity Upstairs room at the House Club and Terrace, the loudspeakers are firing into the dance floor area, with three 2 x 18 Stasys 8 subs ground-stacked, and the four Impulse 3t mid/highs flown above the floor. Four Mycro 8s are used as side-fills, and the system is controlled by a Void Digidrive V2 loudspeaker management system, with power coming from four Void Infinite V2 amplifiers and totalling some 20kW. Cosmic Electronics also installed each DJ booth with a pair of Mycro 8 loudspeakers as monitors, plus a Pioneer DJM-800 mixer, twin Pioneer CDJ-1000 Mk3 CD decks and twin Technics SL1210 mk5 turntables.
