The Green room in Melbourne, Australia is one of the city's most popular venues for independent bands. The management recently commissioned Carlton A/V to design and install a new system for use primarily for live bands but also for DJ applications. After an extensive on-site demonstration with a number of brands, a combination of TXD and QLight™ cabinets were selected.

The front of house system consists of four TXD-151 cabinets which are suspended from the ceiling. The TXDs are complimented by two TQ-425SP self-powered, dual 15" subwoofers. The TXD-151s are powered by a Lab Gruppen fP3400 amplifier and the subs are internally powered by their onboard power amplifiers.

The foldback system is based around the TXD-12M wedge with three across the front of the stage. Drum fill consists of a TXD-121 which sits on top of a TXD-215 dual 15" subwoofer. The foldback system is powered by a Lab Gruppen iP2100 as well as some existing Australian Monitor power amps.

System processing is via a Rane RPM26z, a fully-programmable two by six DSP processor which provides all EQ, crossovers and time alignment. The RPM26z settings are password protected with the only control being a wall plate which allows the venue operators to switch between DJ, band and day modes. Further upsteam, a Rane SM\26B Line Mixer is used to combine both the DJ feed and the band mixer feed into the system.

The system has been used by a massive number of bands and visiting engineers and, from all reports, all parties-including the Green Room management and staff-are absolutely rapt with its performance.
