Located in Dushanbe, the capital and largest city in Tajikistan, the newly built LOFT nightclub recently opened its doors for visitors. Modern technology and a friendly vibe have combined to create an attractive space for local and international artists, musicians and DJs.
The owners’ desire to create the best nightclub in the city in terms of sound and lighting led to Moscow-based design and systems integration company, Muztorg.PRO, being awarded the contract. It had been the success of the luxurious Versal Club, also located in Dushanbe and equipped with Martin Audio loudspeakers, that had made such a positive impression on the future LOFT owners—and so the choice of Martin Audio for the new venue became obvious.
The main loudspeaker system includes five Martin Audio W8LM Mini line array elements, plus a W8LMD Downfill on each side of the stage. Several Blackline Plus F12+ loudspeakers have also been used as infills and for karaoke zones. The punchy, deep low-end is provided by WLXGS hybrid subwoofers, while stage monitoring and dance podiums are covered by Martin Audio LE1200S monitors.
A hybrid Dante and MADI signal infrastructure is used throughout the venue and controlled with BSS Soundweb BLU processing.
The installation process, including truss construction and assembly, cabling, sound and lighting systems, set-up and tuning, was undertaken by the Muztorg.PRO team during an extremely short lead time of 15 days. At the opening party, both club owners and guests rated the quality of the technical installation highly.
Now the dance floors of LOFT have provided an alternative destination for clubbers in Dushanbe, while the café is open during daytime to serve both food and coffee.
