At Air in Birmingham, Audio-Tek has installed six Qlight TQ-440 units, along with four THL-828 bass enclosures and TXD-151 systems, while Bristol's Hard Rock Bar features TXD-121 and TSB-110 loudspeakers. As part of a new mezzanine-level development, Manchester's Hard Rock Caférequired a new audio system to provide a medium-level wash throughout the area, with Audio-Tek installing 12 diminutive Impact 50 loudspeakers for the purpose. The company's installation at the very stylish Anam Bar in Islington - a fashionable Irish cocktail bar - entailed a combined TXD and Impact system to serve the venue's different zones. Four TXD-121 and two TXD-118 units were deployed in the basement club area, with the lounge area covered by two TSB-110 units and four Impact 50 loudspeakers. A further four Impact 80.2 systems provide coverage for the bar area.
Audio-Tek International's Santi Arribas, commented: "Turbsound's current portfolio of products provides an impressive degree of choice, and it is a straightforward task to select and specify a suitable Turbosound-based system, whatever a project's requirements. In addition to the range of options available, the audio quality and reliability are of a very high standard, hence our regular use of the products in all our installations. The products' performance and coverage are also dependablypredictable, easing the job of designing systems to match a venue's acoustic and practical constraints. Above all, they just sound so good!"
Other recent installations completed by Audio-Tek International include a background music system for the makeover photographic studio Doubletake Portraits in London, using Impact 50 units in the office and public areas. Further afield, the company's international work has encompassed the BlowFish Sushi restaurant on Sunset Boulevard, Los Angeles. DJs working the venue get very loud, and Santi's design utilises seventeen Turbosound TCS-35 systems, plus eight TSB-110 subwoofer enclosures, to achieve the necessary coverage and SPL handling.
