- Sin City recently
welcomes its newest and
largest nightlife destination,
Club PURE, at Caesar's Palace,
complete with wall-to-wall
Turbosound
loudspeakers.
The
36,000 square-foot club
features four distinctly
different nightlife areas,
each with its own Turbosound
audio system. The install at
PURE was completed by Scott
Fisher, owner of The Wave
Sound in Las Vegas.
The
club presented a challenging
environment for Fisher. An
abundance of glass and other
hard surfaces made for a very
reflective environment. The
club's open floor plan also
provided additional acoustical
challenges. Turbosound
loudspeakers were chosen for
the install due to their high
quality and outstanding
performance in adverse
conditions. Fisher, who has
been Turbosound's Dealer of
the Year three times (from
2002 to 2004) got the bid on
the PURE install due to his
expertise and experience in
the Vegas market,
commenting:
"Turbosound
has provided some great
support on this install. I
really enjoy their quality and
service. I have over fifty
Turbosound boxes in my rental
inventory alone. It's all I've
got!"
 The
main dance floor at PURE is a
rectangular room flanked on
two sides by raised VIP
platforms. There are eight
TQ-315 loudspeakers, four
TQ-425 dual 15-inch
subwoofers, and two TSW-718
dual 18-inch subwoofers
covering the dance floor. In
addition, Turbosound
manufactured six custom horn
clusters with four drivers
each that hang over the dance
floor. The custom tweeters
were chosen for the dance
floor based on an existing
audio system design and were
produced in just eight weeks.
Very even coverage was
achieved on the dance floor,
with no dead spots. An
additional four TQ-308
loudspeakers cover the VIP
platforms. Fisher also
utilised this space to hide
the subs within the cavities
of one of the platforms. The
steel frame and concrete top
deck platforms had to be
re-engineered to get the subs
in place, as construction had
already begun in that area of
the building.
Surrounding
the main dance floor are two
more TQ-308s, eight TCS-59s
and three TQ-115 subwoofers.
This placement was designed to
ensure that the perimeter of
the room was not off-axis. A
further four TQ-308
loudspeakers and one TQ-115
subwoofer are located in the
glass elevator, next to the
main room. The elevator system
pipes in whatever is playing
on the main dance
floor.
PURE
also boasts the only truly
private VIP room, known as the
Red Room. The Red Room is
connected to the rest of the
club via glass doors, and
features a lounge "feel" with
tables and chairs. The sound
system comprises eight
TQ-308s, three TCS-215
subwoofers and one TQ-115 sub.
A Red Room amenity includes
the use of the BSS Soundweb
Jellyfish remote to select any
audio feed in the
building.
Hidden
within the Red Room is an
ultra-VIP room, equipped with
another Turbosound sound
system. Entrance to this room
requires passing through a
security guard and having your
own card access. Inside, there
is a plasma TV, two TQ-308s
and one TXD-115 subwoofer that
is mounted to the
ceiling.
The
third floor of PURE is The
Terrace, an open area that
overlooks Las Vegas Boulevard.
Out here, club-goers enjoy
indoor-quality cushioned
seating, private cabanas and a
20 foot-long fire pit. The
audio system consists of six
stacks of TXD-151 loudspeakers
pole-mounted to TXD-215
subwoofers. All of the
equipment is completely
portable and weatherproofed,
with manufacturing special
foam-backed grills for the TXD
cabinets, as well as specially
treating and weatherproofing
the cones.
The
most recent addition to the
club is the Pussycat Doll
Lounge that opened in April
2005. "Desperate Housewives"
star Eva Longoria was guest MC
on opening night. The lounge
features a six-foot champagne
glass in the middle of the
room as well as two motorized
swings. Coverage on the main
area is provided by four
TQ-315s and four TCS-215
subwoofers that are built into
the stage. To the right of the
stage, there are four
additional TQ-308s. To the
left of the stage is the bar
and staircase with four
TQ-308s and two TCS-215
subwoofers.
