HEAVEN:   Electracoustic produced a stunning state of the art sound

installation throughout five rooms in this legendary venue beneath Charing Cross.

 

Three Turbosound Floodlight systems including  a 25kW main room experience are installed.

In addition a broad range of Turbosound TMS, TSE,  TXD, TSW, TFM  and  Impact  

loudspeakers have been employed throughout the venue.

 

Crest amplification including custom high power class AB designs,

XTA digital and analogue  processing, Formula Sound discotheque mixers

and Renkus-Heinz VIP room loudspeakers are featured.

 

The venue's sound design includes a number of innovative features such

as rotating loudspeaker clusters to switch from disco to live mode,

a 50 ton concrete stage floating on a vibration absorbant membrane

for noise emission control and remote midi switching of XTA controller modes.

 

In addition the entire curved arch ceiling of the Main Room has been lined

with custom built rectangular and triangular sound absorbing panels to reduce

the reverberant nature of the building structure.
