Designed for high-level dance venues, DAS Audio’s Sound Force sound system has made its European debut at City Beats in Salzburg, serving the freshly-renovated Sternbräu building,
One of the Austrian city’s trendiest clubs, City Beats owners called in local company Licht Ton Video to handle the sound installation. Heading the project were company owner Markus Schwenter, Johannes Stummer and K24 Technik & Vertrieb (DAS Audio distributor in Austria), who recommended the installation of Sound Force systems. This loudspeaker range was designed for venues like City Beats, where the club’s size, shape, décor and sound make a powerful system and a striking visual design a must.
City Beats uses two hangs that include two SF-215 systems and one SF-112 system each, flown from the ceiling and angled to provide end-to-end coverage to the club’s main room. These systems provide the definition needed for the club´s dance music and are driven by DAS D-100 amplifiers. Four of the SF-30A powered subwoofer systems provide low-end – these incorporate a moving magnet linear motor design, an ultra-high power amplifier and a 30-inch polyethylene cone that offers SPL equivalent to the performance of two 21-inch speakers.
The sound technicians recommended drawing from DAS Audio’s Artec 500 and Arco Series of products for the club’s entrances, adjacent areas and bars. Eight Artec 510 systems, two Artec 508 systems and eight Arco 4T systems were brought in and paired with DAS D and CSA-T Series amplifiers. The professional sound system was topped off with a set of four Artec 508A powered systems as monitors for the DJ booth.
The Sound Force systems at City Beats back the nightclub’s reputation for top-of-the-line sound, and are a match for the venue’s philosophy: the name itself refers to the heartbeat of the city. Holding strong on Salzburg’s party circuit, City Beats has created a series of rooms dedicated to various global destinations, each with a décor designed to evoke scenes from some of the world’s top clubs.
