Meyer Loudspeakers At Les Paul’s Jazz Club
Electric guitar legend and inventor Les Paul just specified a new
loudspeaker system to be installed at his new business address,
The Iridium Jazz Club.

Named New York's “Best Jazz Club” by NY Magazine,
recently changed it's address, relocating to 1650 Broadway.
When considering the move from the old location, owner Ron
Sturm wanted the new local to be among the best live music
experiences available anywhere.
Attention was paid to every aspect of the new facility, including
lighting, acoustics, and interior design to create an environment
that was conducive to not only listening but performing as
well. Part of that brief meant upgrading the sound system.

The old facility had some Meyer
self-powered loudspeakers, and in the new move, the decision to
go exclusively Meyer was made. The Meyer products were retained
from the old facility and Carl Ferruggia of SI Tech, who was responsible
for system and acoustic design and John Monitto of Meyer Sound determined
what additional loudspeakers were required.

The new system consists of single CQ-1 Wide Coverage main
loudspeakers for left and right and a center cluster of three
UPA-2P compact narrow Coverage loudspeakers. Delays are UPM-1
compact wide coverage loudspeakers and a UPA-2P compact narrow
coverage loudspeaker is used as a fill. Two 650-P subwoofers
handle low frequencies.
