Meyer Sound Application Profile : Goddess Nightclub
 |
The club owners had initially suggested
other conventional loudspeakers, but I persuaded them to try
Meyer
self-powered systems. Fortunately, they loved
the sound of the Meyers from the first night. Plus, it would have taken us
five times longer to install amp racks and run wires with a conventionally
powered
system

Goddess is an exotic luxury nightclub catering to the upscale "in crowd" of
Miami Beach. Sumptuous art from Africa and the East sets a tone of sensual
delight throughout the five-room, 6,000 square-foot club, while self-powered
audio systems from Meyer Sound excite crowds of up to 500 clubgoers with
clean, powerful reproduction of dance music.
System Description: The main level dance floor employs four UPA-2Ps, one in each corner,
with deep bass power provided by a pair of 650-P dual 18" self-powered
reinforcement subwoofers. The main VIP room system comprises four UPA-1P
plus four of the smaller (2x15") USW-1P self-powered ultraseries subwoofers.
At the back of the main level, a smaller VIP room features four UPM-1Ps
supplemented by a single USW-1P. Upstairs, a separate DJ booth and head
end drives the two additional systems: the VIP room with four UPM-1Ps
and a USW-1P, and the upstairs lounge with four UPM-1P self-powered ultraseries
operating full range.
The Goddess system was designed and specified by Bill Lally, with equipment
and installation services provided by Hi-Tech Sound of Marlboro, Massachusetts.
Lally said he specified the Meyer Sound systems primarily on the basis
of sound quality, but he was also pleasantly surprised to find that the
controlled directivity of the Meyer cabinets maintained excellent acoustic
isolation, preventing annoying bleed across audio zones playing different
music programs. Current music source is primarily vinyl LPs in stereo,
but Lally notes that the self-powered systems would make future changeover
to surround sound playback a quick and easy proposition.
