The sound system is all JBL, supplied by JBL's UK distributors Arbiter Pro Audio. The Cellar's dancefloor area features four JBL MS112 top speakers and two MS125S subs. The bar is serviced with four of the new JBL Control 29s, with Control 24 speakers also in the toilets. For the DJ booth, CP Sound supplied Technics SL1210 turntables and an Allen & Heath Xone:464 mixer, complete with a Denon DN-1800 twin CD player. The mixer was chosen to provide the facility of live microphones when the club has bands playing onstage. Distribution is by a Cloud CX133 zone mixer with a remote control - for operation from the bar area when desired. Amplifiers are all RSE.
For the lighting, CP chose the Pulsar Chroma range to illuminate and highlight the architectural elements in the bar. The arches of the room are down-lit with ChromaHearts, chosen for their multi-colour effects (14.7 million) and impressive 25,000 hour lamp life. Arches inset into the wall run along the length of the space on one side, naturally splitting the room into sections. The central columns of these sections are lit from four sides with ChromaDomes illuminating the brickwork. The ChromaDomes have ChromaFilters fitted to produce a wide beam effect and are controlled by two ChromaZone control boxes.
The dance floor is lit with one of CP Sound’s versatile club moving light systems, including eight MAD QScans and seven MAD QStars. An Anytronics strobe adds plenty of welly for those burn-out moments, and a JEM Magnum 2000 smoke machine pumps up the fog factor when required! A MAD1 controller located in the DJ booth looks after the dancefloor lighting. The dancefloor fixtures are divided up between five ceiling areas, delineated by the arches, with the QStars rigged to form two central cluster features. The neon elements were supplied to CP Sound by Simply Neon - instigated by designer Steve Howie, who is working on the interiors for the top two sections of Reynolds.
