DAS Loudspeakers Deployed To Deliver Impact At Florida Club

idesign Productions implements wide-ranging new system utilizing E11even Sound and Quantum Series loudspeakers and more at The Penthouse Club – Tampa.

The Penthouse Club – Tampa in Florida, a combination gentlemen’s club and steakhouse that caters to upper echelon clients, has implemented an AV renovation that includes a new sound reinforcement system utilizing a range of DAS Audio loudspeakers.

The project was handled by idesign Productions, a lighting, video and audio design / build firm headquartered in Miami that services upscale establishments such as nightclubs, lounges, hotels, resorts, and restaurants. Michael Meacham, idesign’s owner and lead lighting and video designer, coordinated with DAS Audio Sales Manager for Nightclubs and Hospitality John Fiorito for the design and implementation of the new sound system.

“This was a complete renovation for interior finishes, lighting, video, and audio,” Meacham says. “Both John Fiorito from DAS and myself worked closely with Chuck Rollins and Eddie Suqi from Penthouse to upgrade the Penthouse Tampa location. There are six spaces throughout the venue that received new audio equipment, so this was big project that involved a lot of equipment.”

In the building’s “Main Pit,” the idesign team deployed eight DAS E11even Sound ES-10 2-way point source loudspeakers, two ES-S218 bass reflex enclosures plus 4 Quantum Q-10 passive subwoofers. These enclosures are driven by E11even Sound EP-8K4 and EP-10K4 power amplifiers. Meanwhile, the Upper Lounge is covered via four DAS ES26 enclosures and dual DAS Quantum Series Q-10 passive subwoofers, with audio power again provided by an E11even amp. The system also includes 28 DAS CL6TB ceiling loudspeakers throughout the club that are driven by Crown XLS1502 amplifiers.

Additional Quantum Series Q-23-T full-range loudspeakers and Quantum Series Q-10 passive subwoofers are deployed extensively throughout the club’s “Large Whale” room, “Long Narrow Whale” room, and the “Far Whale” room, with amplification handled by additional XLS1502s. And, four DAS Artec-306 2-way passive point source loudspeakers, a pair of Quantum Series Q-10 passive subwoofers, and an E11even Sound EP-8K4 power amp complete the coverage picture in the dining area. System control throughout the venue is provided by a BSS BLU-100 signal processor with BLU link and a BLU-BOB2 output expander. The interface for control of the system is accomplished via the Harman HiQnet app for Apple iPad.

“DAS loudspeakers use only the finest components, and the ES-10 has a 110-degree wide horizontal dispersion pattern, which helps tremendously in terms of providing even coverage throughout any given space,” Meacham states. “The loudspeakers are very coherent, producing extremely high clarity, which is also attributed by the E11EVEN power amplifiers. All loudspeakers are placed in the optimum positions, determined by using Ease Focus modeling software, to ensure you can feel the music, thus creating a great vibe while still be able to carry a conversation at any table or banquet seating area.”

“DAS is a terrific company to work with,” he concludes. “John Fiorito is an extremely capable, well-informed product / sales manager and his assistance on this project was invaluable.”
