Taste Club, a destination for nightlife enthusiasts in Bangkok, Thailand, recently upgraded its sound system with the installation of an Allen & Heath processor and mixer joined by Adamson IS-Series and Point Series loudspeakers following a proposal by pro audio distribution company Sonos Libra.
The goals were to be able to attain very high SPL with intelligibility and uniform coverage while also attaining a convenient way to control the sound system. There are four analog signal runs coming from the DJ booth into an AHM-16, which offers a 16 x 16 processing matrix and 8 x 8 local analog I/O.
AHM processors lend themselves to spaces with multiple areas such as Taste Club, as the system can be set to automatically adjust how loud each zone is. The AHM-16 processor also offers Allen & Heath’s 96 kHz FPGA Core with low latency and a variety of simplified control options that don’t require specialized training to use.
Meanwhile, the new system’s SQ-5 mixer provides 48 input channels with 96 kHz processing and was set up to send its outputs to the AHM-16. This means the club’s management can use presets for uncomplicated control or instead opt for in-depth control when required. This signal flow additionally provides redundancy in case of any hardware failure.
The final tuning and commissioning of the system were overseen by the engineering team at Sonos Libra, with a final check from CEO Alfonso Martín, who comments, “This is one of the best sounding clubs in the city, no question.”
