Lawrenson
Group selects solutions by JBL, Crown, dbx and Soundcraft for their famed sound
quality, unmatched versatility and intuitive operation
HAMILTON, NEW ZEALAND—The Lawrenson Group recently installed a complete audio system by HARMAN
Professional Solutions at the Outback Inn, a popular nightclub in Hamilton, New
Zealand.
One of
New Zealand's premier entertainment venues, the Outback Inn, hosts massive
dance parties and performances by local DJs and touring artists, including Flux
Pavilion, Twista, Peking Duk, and many more. The large facility can serve as a 2000-capacity
venue, or can be divided into three distinct nightclubs. In order to accommodate
the flexible room configuration and provide an exceptional music experience to
its guests, owner and operator Lawrenson Group decided to upgrade the Outback
Inn’s aging audio system with a complete HARMAN audio solution.
“The Lawrenson Group has been proud owners
of HARMAN Professional Solutions audio gear in a large number of our venues for
many years now, and naturally we were pleased to continue this relationship
with our new nightclub expansion at The Outback Inn,” said Jeffrey Van Kempen, Technical Director, Lawrenson Group. “The majority of our nightclub venues use JBL STX
Series speakers and Crown XTi 2 series amplifiers with very pleasing and
reliable results, even while being ran more than 20 hours a week in very harsh
environments.”
Trusted
HARMAN distributor Jands New Zealand supplied all equipment for the Outback
Inn’s new sound system. The system consists of JBL SRX800 Passive Series
loudspeakers and subwoofers, Crown XTi 2 Series amplifiers, a dbx DriveRack Series
speaker management system and Soundcraft Si Series digital audio consoles.
“The HARMAN system was specified so that it can either operate as one
large main PA when the venue is used as a performance venue or it can be broken
down into three smaller nightclub systems for regular weekly use,” said Eli Murray, Director of Sales and Design, Jands New Zealand. “Portability, budget, set up and
ease of use were all top of mind during the specification process.”
JBL SRX835
three-way speakers provide stunning full-range audio, while JBL SRX828S dual
18-inch subwoofers deliver powerful low frequencies needed to stimulate the
dance floor. JBL SRX815 two-way speakers satisfy the venue’s flexibility
requirements, serving as monitors, front- and side-fills, or portable PA
speakers. The entire system is powered by reliable Crown XTi6002 and XTi 4002
amplifiers, and a dbx DriveRack VENU360 loudspeaker management system ensures
maximum PA performance and coverage every time. A Soundcraft Si Performer 3
console takes care of the front-of-house mix in the main venue, while Soundcraft
Si Impact consoles enable powerful and intuitive mixes in the smaller
nightclubs.
“Earlier this year we hosted Peking Duk for
our first large event,” explained Van
Kempen.
“It was also our first real chance to run the system in its entirety and we
have literally been blown away with its performance. The results have been very
impressive and the HARMAN solution has kept well within budget budget.”
“The Lawrenson Group’s confidence in HARMAN Professional Solutions
products and solutions speaks volumes of our customer service, product
reliability and world class standards which help elevate customer experiences,”
said Ramesh Jayaraman, VP & GM
HARMAN Professional Solutions, APAC. “We are pleased that we are able to
continue to meet their exacting standards and expectations in partnership with
our NewZealand distributor Jands.”
