Turbosound installations

Clarendon Hotel, Australia

Venue: The Clarendon Hotel
Location: Melbourne, Australia
Venue-type: Hotel bar / nightclub
Loudspeaker system:
8 x TCS-10
6 x TCS-30
4 x TCS-215

Located in downtown South Melbourne Victoria, The Clarendon Hotel is the flagship of a new hotel buying group consortium. Centre Stage Australia designed the ideal audio system to complement the renovated hotel. Andy Irvine, Centre Stage Australia's

Chief Project Manager, chose a combination of Turbosound speaker cabinets, Crown amplification and Ashly Audio control. The system is split into four zones; two zones of four TCS-10 enclosures scattered throughout the seated areas, one zone of two TCS-30 enclosures to fill the bar area, and the cosy dance floor zone is surrounded by four TCS-30 and TCS-215 sub-bass units.

The CD, DAT, video and TV-audio feeds run through an Alesis 12R rack mounted console. Overall zone control is handled by the new Ashly Audio VCM-88 VCA controller. The VCM-88 allows individual zones to be controlled either via a centrally located desktop remote or from wall-mounted volume controls within each zone. Two Protea 4.24G digital 4-band equaliser/processors provide system EQ, crossovers, limiting and delay. Additionally, 'scenes' have been pre-set in the Protea units to allow Duty Managers to change overall sound system parameters for lunch, dinner, happy-hour and dance. Four Crown CE series amplifiers provide amplification.

Andy explained: "the venue was undergoing an extensive refurbishment and the owners' brief was clear - provide a high quality, easy to manage sound system that will complement the new image of The Clarendon. The clarity, throw and dispersion of the Turbosound TCS range made them an ideal choice. Additionally, the birch-ply cabinets complement the overall venue ambience that the designers were looking for. The Ashly Protea and VCM-88 units allow me to pre-set safe working parameters for the overall system, whilst still allowing the Duty Managers the freedom to easily control individual zone levels."
