Bringing Europe to Siberia

A new entertainment complex called Europe has opened in Yakutsk in eastern Siberia, designed and installed by MS-Max and using sound kit from EAW.

The complex is set over five floors, with a pub and sports bar on the ground floor; an Italian restaurant, billiards room and cafe on the second floor; the Striptease nightclub and a karaoke bar on floors three and four; and bowling lanes on the fifth floor.

MS-Max supplied an EAW dance system in the form of the purpose designed Avalon Series. This comprises a pair of DC1 enclosures, complemented by 10 rectangular UB82, eight BH760 bent horn subwoofers, four LA212 monitor speakers, four FR129z 12in LF and four SM129z compact single 12in speakers.

EAW's CAZ Series amplifiers and UX8800 and DX1208 rackmount digital processors are prominent among the control devices.

Elsewhere in the complex are 10 EAW NTL720 3-way line array elements, a pair of SB1000 subs and 24 SMS4 rear speakers. Reference monitoring is in the form of four SM129z and two SM159z compact floor wedges, while EAW CAZ Series amps and UX8800 and DX1208 rackmount DSP's again help out.

In the Striptease nightclub, a pair of EAW FR129z 12in LF provide the main playback, along with three MicroSubs, eight JF60z and six JF80z, with CAZ Series amplification and DX1208 digital control.

Sound reinforcement in the Karaoke room takes the shape of a pair each of self-powered NT29 offering 90˚ horizontal dispersion and 12-inch woofer, and matched NTS22 sub, all powered by EAW CAZ series amplifiers.

Elsewhere, further EAW FR129z, FR250z, CIS300, CIS400, CIS65, SMS4 and CAZ Series amplification feature among the armoury of audio devices serving the bowling, sports bars, billiards and other areas such as the brewery.
