Sound revamped at the Valencia Oceanographic aquarium with CXA-12 for outdoors

May 14, 2024 | Installations, Public Buildings

Oceanogràfic, the biggest aquarium of Europe, has recently renewed its sound equipment in the dolphinarium area, trusting once again in Lynx Pro Audio. 15 outdoor passive CXA-12 enclosures have been set up in the venue, supplied by Neec Iberia, the official distributor of the brand in Spain and Portugal.

Until now, this dolphinarium had a set-up of Ionic-100 column speakers distributed around the pool, in front of the stands, to improve vocal clarity; while several DRN-12 subwoofers were flown to reinforce the low frequencies.

From now on, 15 units of passive CXA-12 speakers suitable for outdoor use will be covering the sound of the dolphinarium, next to the columns of the stands. The CXA-12 is a constant curvature line array, designed to make basic multipurpose line array configurations, with a maximum of four cabinets.

These 15 cabinets have been distributed in 3 points with three cabinets in array configuration and another 3 points with two cabinets, with the aim of covering the extensive stands with clarity and power, so that both the explanations of the monitors and the music can be heard clearly in each performance.

Each CXA-12 enclosure is amplified with a total of 1400 W Class D and switching power supply, with a PFC system and DSP processor with linear phase FIR filters.

For the amplification of the cabinets, 3 XT-10K amplifiers (4-channel stage for installation with 4 x 25000W of power, 64-bit DSP and Networking AES67 connectivity option), a RS4-3000 amplifier (4-channel stage with power up to 500 W per channel and connectivity through 4 balanced XLR inputs) and a RS4-4000 amplifier (4-channel amplifier with power up to 1000 W per channel and connectivity through 4 balanced XLR inputs) have been set up.

Finally, ARK digital processors have been implemented, specifically an ARK-2026 (2 inputs and 6 outputs) and an ARK-7048 (with Ethernet, 4 inputs and 8 outputs) designed to offer intuitive and easy-to-use access for users.

Baptist church sound reinforcement upgraded in Nordhorn, Germany

Jun 8, 2023 | Houses of Worship, Installations, Our Clients

The Baptistenkirche Nordhorn, as its German name suggests, is a Baptist church located in Nordhorn, Germany. Tom Fuhrmann, Pro Audio consultant in Pan-pro GmbH, has been in charge of the church sound reinforcement.

Baptistenkirche Nordhorn is a religious community that aims to help others to know Jesus, to be inspired by him and to increase their faith in him. It is a community committed to the well-being of the people of its city.

The church needed to upgrade its sound systems for a clear voice reproduction and the installer decided to set up IONIC column speakers, which are designed for reverberant installations such as houses of worship. These column speakers are lightweighted, providing easy set ups in fixed installations.

The installer chose the following set-up: 3 x IONIC 100 for main area, 7 x IONIC 50 for senior space and under balcony, 1 x IONIC 18S all feeded by Yamaha MTX5D and RS4-4000 amplifiers.

Tom Fuhrmann stated: “It has been found that the IONIC series from Lynx Pro Audio delivers excellent results, specially in acoustically demanding rooms. Significantly improved speech intelligibility and a balanced sound image were decisive for the customer’s satisfaction.”

In white colour, these cabinets are a low profile, discreet column, melting in the church’s white environment. Fuhrmann stated that the customers “are happy with installation”.

In the main area we find 3 Ionic-100 passive column speakers. The Ionic-100 uses 12 x 3″ (0.75″ voice coil) neodymium transducers offering a coverage of 15º +/-5º V x 100º H and 121dB SPL.

For senior space and under balcony we find 7 Ionic-50 passive column speakers. The Ionic-50 is a compact column speaker with 6 x 3” (0.75” voice coil) neodymium transducers offering a coverage of 15º +/-5º V x 100º H and 119dB SPL.

As low frequency reinforcement, we find the powered subwoofer Ionic-18S. This subwoofer uses 1 x 18” (3” voice coil) neodymium transducers with 132 dB SPL.

The installation was feeded by an RS4-4000 amplifier, designed for professionals who demand quality, reliability and value.

The Ionic series are available in a variety of colours/finishes by request, in this case, white RAL colour. As standard the full-range cabinets are finished in anti-rust steel and the subs in rugged, premium birch plywood, coated with polyurea paint. All are protected by front steel grills and backed with a special triple layer, acoustic textile which allows greater air flow and reduces heat and humidity.

Bali club Mrs Sippy main stage revamped with DS-12 clubbing systems

May 16, 2023 | Installations, Nightclubs & Bars, Our Clients

Mrs Sippy, a trendy party venue on the island of Bali, has decided to do an image renovation and update its main stage with Lynx Pro Audio sound systems for nightclubs: the DS-12 enclosures.

Host to the island’s biggest saltwater swimming pool with 1, 3 and 5 meter diving platforms, good times are encouraged through their entertainment calendar of international DJ’s spinning tropical island vibes until late every day.

Sontastic, a premier AV installer specialising in integrating systems for beach clubs, restaurantes and hospitality business, has been in charge of the renewal of Mrs. Sippy’s main stage. They have decided to acquire Lynx Pro Audio’s special clubbing systems, supported by Melodia, official distributor in Indonesia.

Ian Johansson, Sontastic’s director, stated: “Sontastic have been using DS-12 for four years now, and we are very happy with this speakers. It has the emotion of a classic club speaker but is more smooth and versatile. When paired with the right amplifier, the DS-12 plays absolutely fantastic! We are getting a lot of compliments for this setup and very happy with the Lynx.”

Lynx Pro Audio’s DS systems were required for the upgraded main stage that has been set up near the pool, where parties are organised everyday and international DJs come to play on weekends. The stage set up cointains 3 DS-12 cabinets on each side of the stage for a powerful result.

These sound systems are available in any colour and finish needed, since they are not designed to not only be pleasing to the ear but also to the eye.

The horn loaded, high power DS-12 clubbing systems are ideal for these installations since they were primarily designed for giving an extra boost in nightclubs and discos. The cabinet is bi-amplified and can also be manufactured as a self-powered version to deliver all the features such as FIR that Lynx Pro audio electronics deliver.

It uses an exponential 12” Driver (64mm aluminium voice coil) for the low/mid and the high frequencies are looked after by a 1.4” neodymium compression driver with titanium diaphragm and mylar surround. The special GFK/Sandwich horn delivers 60º x 40º coverage.

Mrs Sippy Bali is the latest holiday hotspot, a melting pot for locals and international travellers who occupy the abundance of day beds while sipping expertly shaken cocktails.

SLVJ, an exotic restaurant inside the 5-star “Only You” hotel

Apr 11, 2023 | Installations, Other applications, Our Clients

SLVJ (Salvaje) is a trendy restaurant, located in the lobby of the five-star “Only You” hotel in the centre of Valencia. The venue is divided in two floors: a ground floor where parties are organised and the upper floor with the main room and an interior terrace.

This restaurant is based on three premises: a wild gastronomic proposal, a professional cocktail bar and a place where music and atmosphere combine. At SLVJ you don’t just go to eat, you go to have fun.

On the ground floor, the club area, is where customers can have free rein to their wildest side. The party is guaranteed with a luxurious atmosphere; with waiters, dancers and a DJ in the booth to liven up the service and create a party atmosphere. At SLVJ the music takes centre stage as the evening progresses and the cocktails begin to work their magic.

SLVJ is equipped with state-of-the-art technology, offering an unforgettable experience in terms of sound and lighting. On the covered terrace, you can enjoy breathtaking views, while in the main room you can enjoy exotic flavours surrounded by lush décor. It is the perfect venue for exclusive events.

Blaky Group were chosen for the sound installation of this venue. They had to make a different installation for each space. For the indoor terrace they used Juno JN-8T loudspeakers, which have an ideal power for this type of installation and an elegant design that does not clash with the decoration of the venue.

For the main room, HR-26 passive loudspeakers have been installed, as they offer an excellent power-to-size ratio. They are easy to install on the wall thanks to dedicated accessories and offer selectable bi-amp or passive operation.

As low frequency reinforcement, a BS-112 subwoofer has been installed, a compact subwoofer enclosure with 12″ speaker (3″ voice coil) in bandpass configuration reaching 126 db SPL.

On the ground floor, which is the disco area, 12 HR-26s have been installed to ensure coverage of the whole area and an HR-18/10 subwoofer as low frequency reinforcement in the DJ booth. The HR-18/10 are subwoofers with one 18” low frequency in bass reflex, direct radiation configuration, which reach up to 135 dB SPL.

SLVJ is committed to fusion cuisine, showing a more casual side of Japanese gastronomy, using robata, a Japanese grill. In Valencia, the chef in charge of preparing the dishes is Fermín Azkue.

The cocktails have been designed by Borja Goikoetxea, the best bartender in Spain in 2019 by the World Class Competition, and who has worked in top-level venues. His proposal includes reinvented classics and several cocktails of his own creation.

In charge of the décor is the prestigious interior designer Lázaro Rosa-Violán, who makes extensive use of bright colours evoking certain parts of Africa and Asia to bring the SLVJ concept to life, highlighting the use of monkey figures in the main room or a giant rhinoceros presiding over the party area.

The SLVJ group has establishments in Panama, Bogota, Madrid, Miami and Barcelona, and continues to expand around the world.

La Diva, the most chic restaurant inspired by the 20s

Feb 27, 2023 | Instalaciones, Nightclubs & Bars, Restaurantes

La Diva is one of the most chic restaurants in Valencia, which opened its doors just over a year ago and is located near Calle Colón, the city’s shopping hub. Entering La Diva is like going back in time to the roaring 20s. The objective of the restaurant is to make you feel like a Diva; from its elegant and extravagant decoration to its unique gastronomy, the result of the fusion of flavours from around the world.

The decoration is its hallmark, being elegant and striking at the same time. This spacious restaurant has different decorations that divide each area according to use. Its strong point is not only its setting, but also the gastronomy. La Diva offers a gastronomic journey that seeks to create original and innovative dishes that offer exquisite flavour in every bite.

In this restaurant, the sound system is key, since it not only uses ambient music to complete the diners’ experience, but at night the restaurant is transformed into a nightclub, so it needs versatile and powerful equipment capable of working in both environments.

From Thursday to Saturday nights, DJ’s enter the scene and the restaurant is transformed into a nightclub. From 11 p.m., the diners’ tables begin to be cleared and they are offered to go to the entrance bar for a cocktail or to the bathroom area that has a DJ in the booth. As the diners finish, the main room is cleared and transformed into a dance floor, and the venue into a nightclub.

In La Diva, small QB-5 installation enclosures have been installed, painted in different RAL colours to blend in with the decoration and not damage the setting. They have been placed in areas such as the bathrooms, the entrance and the bar area to offer a reinforcement for background music. These are the smallest systems among Lynx Pro Audio’s products, with a 5″ transducer, 90ºconic dispersion and 110 dB SPL (160W program).

The dancefloor is covered by a powerful installation of HR-1596/7, HR-8 and BS-12 enclosures. The HR-15 and HR-8 are found surrounding the entire main room, in white and gold, and the BS-12 are the sound reinforcement in the DJ booth.

Both the HR-1596/7 and the HR-8 are basic in an installation of these characteristics. HR-1596/7 is a full range, two way bi-amp/passive cabinet, with 700 W power. It consists of a 15” transducer and a 1.4” high frequency compression driver, with two dispersion options. Regarding HR-8 system, it is a passive, lightweight and very versatile enclosure with an 8” transducer with neodymium magnet and a 1” high frequency compression driver. It offers 125 dB SPL (600 W program). It is an excellent solution for all types of fixed projects and has a complete range of accessories to facilitate its installation.

The BS-12 is the ideal enclosure for this type of installation as it offers a wide range of applications (fixed, frontal and stage monitor installations). In this case, it’s installed in the DJ booth. BS-12 is a compact two-way passive enclosure, with a 12″ loudspeaker for low frequencies and a 1” driver coupled to a 90º x 60º rotatable diffuser for high frequencies.

La Diva seems to have been taken from a design catalogue, with very striking decoration and furniture, a play of lights to create more exclusive environments, use of videomapping on the walls of the main room, decorative palm trees, etc. This venue was also a candidate in 2022 for the Restaurant & Bars Design Awards.
