UK - Sweeny's, a new bar and restaurant in Royal Leamington Spa, has just opened with a complete Community system designed and installed by Leamington-based sound and lighting specialists, PSL Distribution. The owner of the venue, Tony Sweeny, has had a long association with Leamington Spa and the Sweeny name brings with it an enviable reputation for excellent food; a reputation that this new venue intends to continue.

Décor in the venue is smart and stylish, so the sound system was required to complement the aesthetics as well as provide the highest quality audio to meet the expectations of its clientele. Peter Smith, proprietor of PSL explains: "The system also had to be dual purpose, providing a high power, DJ-driven system for weekend use in the bar and a more subtle quality ambience for the restaurant. We have recently started using Community loudspeakers on such projects as the clean, detailed sound and well controlled dispersion works exceptionally well in low-ceiling venues."

He continues: "We used a combination of Community I/O5 and I/O8 throughout, reinforced by the powerful MVP18 subs for the bar. The smooth design of the I/O loudspeakers in white met the aesthetic requirements and they sound excellent. A Cloud 263 gives the flexibility of fine tuning and balancing the zones and the staff have an RSL6 level attenuator for quick and simple volume control."

For the DJ position, PSL supplied: a Numark CM200 mixer; twin Technics SL-1210 turntables with Ortofon cartridges; a Numark CDN35 CD player; and a Denon 5-play CD player.

Peter Smith concludes: "PSL have installed systems in around 85 percent of the bars and clubs in Leamington and every new installation reflects our ability, so choice of equipment is very important. Given the quality of products, and the exceptional support by their UK distributor CUK Audio, I think we'll be using a lot more Community in future."
