Stereo Covent Garden, a new location for luxury fashion, beauty stores, and restaurants and bars in London’s West End, is equipped with a sound reinforcement approach devised by Solotech UK Group that’s headed by a combination of L-Acoustics A Series and X Series loudspeakers joined by a host of supporting components to serve a main stage, bar, DJ booth and other areas while remaining discrete and blending into the décor.
Located beneath the historic Market, Stereo Covent Garden is the creation of Experimental Group, known for hospitality spaces throughout Europe and the U.S. It offers a multi-sensory experience made of signature drinks and a live music program presented nightly that kicks off with a house band before the stage is turned over to a rotating series of resident DJs.
“We wanted a clean, clear and precise soundscape,” explains Mikey Sorbello, music coordinator at Stereo Covent Garden. “We knew that L-Acoustics is renowned for its impeccable clarity, depth, and richness, and were confident this would give Stereo Covent Garden innovative sound.”
The main stage sound system consists of two clusters of six A15 Wide with two KS21 subwoofers on either side of the stage. On the elevated bar, 10 compact 5XT coaxial loudspeakers are evenly distributed. Eleven X8 coaxial loudspeakers serve as delay, bolstered by four SB10i subs. The back room is equipped with five X8 and two SB10i subwoofers, while the restrooms are fitted with 10 5XT. The DJ booth has two X8 while performers on stage utilize two X12 monitors. The system is managed by eight LA4X and one LA12X amplified controllers.
“This solution ensures that every note resonates throughout the space, enveloping audiences in a truly vibrant sonic experience,” says Sorbello. “The clarity and precision of our sound system truly embodies the values we uphold at Stereo Covent Garden. In short, we couldn’t be more satisfied and every performance promises to be an unforgettable sonic journey.”
