USA - Desert 5 Spot, a “cosmic Americana” dance and music venue, opened its second location in Williamsburg and set out to enhance its live music experience with an American-made audio system by 1 Sound. Inspired by Joshua Tree hideouts and vintage roadside motels, the venue pairs its rustic charm with top-tier sound quality, solidifying its reputation as a must-visit country bar with nightly live music and DJ performances.
Desert 5 Spot partnered with Anthem Productions to integrate its audio system. The team experienced 1 Sound loudspeakers and discovered they could have a powerhouse sound system custom colour-matched to complement the walls of the rustic venue.
For the main PA at the stage, Anthem deployed two Contour CT212 loudspeakers that were flown with their respective Fly Bar accessory as the main left and right. With a max SPL of 140 dB, the smaller Contour CT28s were hung with the Fly Bar accessory as a left and right delay. Two SUB2112s were set on either side of the stage. 1 Sound’s SUB2112 is a loud, deep, and impactful subwoofer. It is comprised of two 21” drivers which provide the powerful sub-bass and one 12” driver which gives this subwoofer a more clear and punchy sonic performance with its upper bass.
To provide a distributed audio design for this bar and dance venue, Anthem deployed full-range Cannon C8s for the entry of the venue and the VIP table areas. Anthem enlisted 1 Sound’s Custom Shop to colour-match each Cannon C8 to the wall it was mounted on.
