An L-Acoustics system has been installed into SEVEN, the new club at La Cigale Hotel in Doha, Qatar, supplied by L-Acoustics Certified Provider Venuetech.
The 1,000-capacity oval-shaped club has been installed with an unusual sound system based around a stereo configuration located in front of the DJ booth.
This consists of two hangs of four dV-DOSC cabinets focused on the dance floor and four hangs of three ARCS medium format line source cabinets to cover the table areas around the dance floor. A further system of six distributed 12XT coaxial boxes cover a pillared area.
The club also features an unusual sub bass setup of six SB28 subs in a horizontal ARCS/SUB configuration, to deal with the very wide shape of the venue. This provides consistent sub/low frequency coverage all around the room.
The DJ, VJ and LJ all have personal monitoring systems of 12XT coaxials, and the entire system is driven by LA4 and LA8 amplified controllers, monitored by the L-Acoustics Network Manager remote control software.
“The venue’s architectural shape is unusual and the design of the system was a big challenge,” said Venuetech’s technical director Elie Khairallah.
“The result is phenomenal and the sound quality, along with SPL levels that system can provide, is excellent. All of the gear was installed in a very short time and setup of the system was accomplished in just two days.”
The club opened in late September to great acclaim, with a set by French DJ David Vendetta, and an audience who were delighted and astonished by the sound system and entire setup.
