Turbosound installations

Cooney's Tavern

Venue: Cooney's Tavern
Location: Wollongong, Australia
Venue-type: Nightclub
Loudspeaker system:
TXD series
TSW series

Australia's hottest nightspot - Cooney's Tavern, with its brand new nightclub Bustin' - has been equipped with a new Turbosound system, installed by Sydney-based Innovative Lighting and Sound Pty Ltd.

The main room system comprises a mix of TXD-121 mid/high and TXD-081 mid/high delay speakers, complemented by TSW-718 subs. Innovative also supplied a separate outdoor portable DJ system of TXD-121s and TXD-215s, with additional TXD-081s installed for the bar area audio system.

Innovative won the contract to supply a new audio system throughout Cooney's Tavern, as well as a brand new lighting, audio and visual system for its newly opened nightclub - Bustin'. Designing the main system from the ground-up, starting with the subs, Innovative arranged for Turbosound's TSW-718 models to be trialled in the venue for 3 months prior to the installation. The depth and tight response of the 718s proved to be ideally suited to the club's dance music requirements. A variety of mid/high speakers were also tested - for size, performance and price - with TXD coming out on top. In the finished system, four TXD-121s are positioned in a stereo quadraphonic arrangement, with two TXD-081s delayed for dance floor fill and a further two delayed in the adjoining bar area. The system is processed with a Peavey Digitool, and tuned using a Wi-Fi Tablet PC - allowing an engineer to roam the venue, adjusting EQ, delay, compression, and limiter settings in real time. The portable DJ system, required for the outside courtyard, includes two TXD-215 subwoofers and two TXD-121 Mid/High cabinets, plus Lab Gruppen FP3400 amplification.

Innovative believes that Turbosound's line-up of top class systems is a key element in its own success, as Brendan Sadgrove explains:

"This is the sixth installation where Turbosound has helped further Innovative's reputation of being committed to providing superior products and a reliable service. We are building a strong following in Australia for the high-end sound of our Turbosound systems, demonstrating that we truly have blue blood!"

Promoted by Bustin' Productions, the Bustin' nightclub has rapidly built up a niche following in the breaks and house community, attracting large audiences for a range of local and international artists - gigs have included Freq Nasty, Stanton Warriors, Albert Cabrera, Kid Kenobi, NuBreed and Groove Terminator. Turbosound was already the system of choice for Bustin' Productions, after its experience with a Flashlight and HiLight system for its 2003 outdoor festival events. Bustin' Productions' Ben Henderson comments: "Turbosound and Innovative are as much a part of our events as the DJs and venue. People come to our events knowing that the sound will be first class."
