The
audio system at Club MUTE in Seoul, Korea
features JBL’s new Marquis Dance Club Series loudspeakers. |
LONDON, United Kingdom
– Are you ready for a
brand new beat? Club-goers around the world are dancing to the sounds of
HARMAN’s JBL Marquis Dance Club Series loudspeakers, created to bring a new level
of sonic excellence to clubs everywhere. The Marquis Dance Club Series
incorporates exclusive driver configurations and a choice of modular and
full-range enclosure designs to deliver powerful, immersive sound without
breaking a sweat, even at higher volume levels.
JBL Marquis Dance
Club Series speakers have been adopted in a number of clubs worldwide. Three
notable installations include the Blue
Martini in Las Vegas, Nevada, Boogie
Nights in Moorestown, New Jersey and Club
MUTE in Seoul, South Korea.
The Blue Martini was
voted to have Las Vegas’ best happy hour and keeps the party going with its JBL
Marquis Dance Club Series loudspeakers, which are used for both DJ music and
live bands. “The JBL Marquis loudspeakers are equally adept at DJ and live sound,”
said Lord Toussaint of Miami, Florida systems integrator Infinite Audio Systems
(www.goinfinite.com).
“That’s because they’re high-output, wide-bandwidth speakers that will work
with any music source.”
The Blue Martini
system is comprised of four Marquis Series MD49 quad-amplified high-power 4-way
loudspeakers complemented by two AM7215/95 high-power 2-way speakers. All are
driven by Crown Audio CDi Series power amplifiers. “One of the key
features of the MD49 is its rotatable midrange/high-frequency waveguide
assembly, which enabled the speakers to be hung horizontally from the ceiling,”
Toussaint pointed out. “We needed to do this because of sight line and
architectural considerations and the MD49 was absolutely perfect for the
application.”
“The MD49’s are
quad-amplified and we’re running separate amps to the woofers, midrange, high-frequency
and super tweeters, which gives incredibly clear, powerful and articulate sound
that can handle anything the live bands or the DJs can throw at the speakers,”
Toussaint added.
When
Atlantic City’s Tropicana Casino and Resort renovated a section of its space
into the Boogie Nights ’70s and ‘80s retro-themed dance club, they knew they
needed a sound system that could accommodate an out of the ordinary situation.
The club comprises a long space situated adjacent to the casino floor and is
separated into three discreet sections: the club area, bar area and lounge. The
challenge was to provide dance club-quality sound and volume levels within the
dance club area while minimizing bleed-over into the casino area.
For
the club area, New Jersey-based sound contractor Starlite Productions hung four
JBL MD49 speakers and four MD7 dual 18-inch subwoofers and aimed them to cover
the dance floor from all sides while providing stereo imaging from any area on
the dance floor. The speakers are positioned around the perimeter of a large
circular truss about 30 feet in diameter, suspended 20 feet above the dance
floor. This allows dancers to enjoy the full impact of the music, yet people
can step outside the circle and talk without interference from the high output
levels of the speakers. There are also 10 MD55 loudspeakers throughout the
bar and lounge.
“Starlite did a
fantastic job, especially since the installation space was very challenging,”
said David Peña, Owner of Boogie Nights. “Since the club is a transformation of
a huge open space, it was a difficult room to fill evenly with sound. The
system is incredible! Customers constantly comment on how impressed they are
and how clean it sounds.”
It’s hard not to walk
into Seoul, South Korea’s Club MUTE without doing a double-take, as the décor
is breathtakingly distinctive, with sculptured ceiling panels, diamond-shaped
wall detailing accented by inset lights, hourglass-shaped seating and curved
metalwork. Even the DJ booth is unique, looking like a giant futuristic
birdcage.
A special space like
Club MUTE deserved a special sound system—and the Marquis Dance Club Series
provided just that! The club features an all-out JBL Marquis Dance Club Series
setup that includes two MD1 ultra-high-frequency modules, two MD2
mid/high-frequency modules, four MD3 low-frequency modules and four MD46
quad-amplified full-range speakers. The speakers are hung in two main clusters
at the left and the right of the DJ booth. In addition, two JBL ASB7128
subwoofers, two MRX515 loudspeakers and a PRX612M stage monitor are deployed
throughout the club and in the DJ booth. The speakers are powered by a variety
of Crown amplifiers.
