The venue was the Koola Club, an eclectic mix of club, bar and attached restaurant, feeding the requirements of the resident surf and sand fraternity as well as the hedonist weekend visitors and devout clubbers, situated on the seafront. The owners wanted to invest in a new sophisticated, but discreet audio system that could provide extreme high power with exceptional clarity and finesse. With a diverse range of entertainments from dance to live performances, the system had to operate with the minimum of attention.
Dave Charman explained: "Andy duly came down and set up a simple system consisting of two KV2 ES1.0 mid/high packs, two ES2.5 subs and two ES1.8 subwoofers. All this was driven and controlled by three KV2 EPAK2500 amplifier packs."
A straight feed from the Allen & Heath mixer was then supplied, with no other signal processing or EQ. Charman continues: "Bearing in mind the venue capacity of 750, I was a little apprehensive of the potential for being a little light in the audio power stakes and mentioned this to Andy. He just shrugged . . ."
On the night, being a Drum and Bass promotion, the club was well attended and the system was properly extended and put through its paces. Suffice to say that the owners and operators were happy and impressed enough to take delivery of a fully installed KV2 Audio system in mid-June consisting of two ES1.0 mid/high enclosures, two ES2.5 subwoofers and two EPAK2500 amplifier pack. Both Phil Soltys and Dave Charman have reported that the system has functioned flawlessly and the clients have achieved exactly what they wanted.
