The QLight™ series forms the centrepiece of a new audio-visual installation at St Paul's Tavern - one of Brisbane's major entertainment venues, recently re-opened after lying dormant for several years.

The design and installation of the venue's new A/V systems was undertaken by local contractor, Technical Response Group (TRG), with the project's equipment supplied by Audio Telex - Turbosound's Australian distributor - via the company's Queensland office.

One of Brisbane's oldest taverns, St Paul's was recently rescued from being nothing but a dust trap, and has been refurbished into an outstanding venue for live jazz and blues, as well as for private functions. The re-opened venue has already established a reputation for outstanding live performances, which have featured from some of Australia's best artists, including Rick Price and Billy Field, plus a host of others - all making good use of the new in-house systems.

Each area of St Paul's Tavern features a Turbosound-based audio system, from the venue's small function room - equipped with four Impact 50 loudspeakers and two Impact 110 sub-bass units - to the multi-purpose Main Room, which has been designed to operate as a nightclub, live music venue or large function room. TRG's Technical Manager Andrew Wood worked with Audio Telex Queensland's Greg Nuttall, Systems Design Engineer, to agree the final specification, which resulted in four QLight TQ-310 and four TQ-115 subs being deployed in the Main Room for FOH duties. Six TCS-35 two-way speakers were also installed, for additional room fill when required.

Audio Telex proved to be the only supplier able to meet the project's full specifications and, in addition to the Turbosound loudspeaker systems, also supplied MediaMatrix, Lab Gruppen, Rane, Australian Monitor, Martin Lighting, Ness Digital DVR recorders and Nightlife Music Video HDMS systems. The MediaMatrix X-Frame and XControl panels were installed to make the background audio system as user friendly as possible, and to remove the possibilities for feedback-loop errors when routing audio to the different areas.

Response from the venue's staff and management has been extremely positive, with Steven Bunz of Trakon Hospitality Management commenting: "The system is really user friendly, at first you seem overwhelmed with technology but these systems just don't let you get it wrong. I've been so impressed with the whole system, that I have just placed a further order for some these systems to be included in the renovation of another venue."
