Looking to redefine the way Blackpool spends its nights out, Bawden was entrusted with outfitting the venue with a top-spec sound, lighting and video system, and to satisfy the sound reinforcement he turned to Martin Audio.
"We've worked with the venue for almost 20 years, so we know it inside out," he said. Out went the old reinforcement system to be replaced by Martin Audio's new two-way passive AQ architectural range.
Flown and angled down onto the dancefloor via long ceiling brackets are four AQ12s, with a groundstacked AQ215, while seven of the smaller AQ8's service the dancefloor periphery. Elsewhere a combination of five AQ8's act as a line source at the bar, with 12 EM15s in-filling as necessary. A pair of AQ210 subs are built into the seating at the rear, where a further pair of Martin Audio Blackline S12's complete the installation. (Jim Evans)
