KV2 serenades Sushisamba

Located on the top three floors of the Heron Tower – the second tallest building in London’s financial district – the Sushisamba rooftop restaurant and bar boasts panoramic views of the city through floor-to-ceiling windows. To add a suitably impressive soundtrack to this vista, the venue recently called on Cosmic Electronics to upgrade its sound system with KV2 ESD loudspeakers.

‘Sushisamba is a magical place,’ says Cosmic Electronics CEO, Mark Damon. ‘They wanted a system that wouldn’t take away from the splendour of the restaurant – it needed to blend into the surroundings whilst sounding amazing and consistent across every floor.’

Southern California studio takes first Harrison 32Classic

Having steered Mexican music star Peso Pluma to the top of the charts, a Grammy Award, 12 Billboard Latin Music Awards and a sold-out arena tour in just two years, George Prajin has now turned his attention to expanding his Prajin Music Group’s music production capabilities. Based in Southern California, Prajin Parlay Studioz recently took delivery of the first Harrison 32Classic analogue mixing console to come off the production line for a tracking room that will become fully operational in early 2025.

‘At first sight, it looks like your traditional analogue console,’ says mixer and producer Ernesto ‘Neto’ Fernández. ‘But where I see the power is with the whole Dante set-up and the routing capabilities.’

DND Club opens in Maoming

When DND Club opened its doors in China, it wasn’t just its size or the US$7.7m investment behind it that caught people’s attention, it was also the immersive audio experience that set it aside from other clubs on the Maoming nightlife scene. At the core of this remarkable experience is KV2 Audio’s flagship VHD5 system, a high-definition, point-source loudspeaker that sets standards for clarity and impact. 

‘Our goal was to create an atmosphere where every beat and every note feels alive,’ says Peter Chen from YueShun Entertainment Company, the club’s investors. ‘We needed a system that could deliver not just volume, but clarity, even at peak energy levels.’

Symphonicity Tour After concerts in Palermo, Venice and Rome, Sting‘s Symphonicity Tour arrived in the northern Italian city of Brescia.

This extraordinary world tour saw the singer perform his biggest hits with a symphonic slant, accompanied by the Ensemble Symphony Orchestra, conducted by Sarah Hicks, plus band members Jorge Calandrelli, David Hartley, Michel Legrand, Rob Mathes, Vince Mendoza, Steven Mercurio, Bill Ross, Robert Sadin and Nicola Tescari.

An Outline loudspeaker system was installed in Brescia’s Piazza della Loggia for the concert.

Provided by Cipiesse Produzioni per lo Spettacolo, this comprised 12 Butterfly, nine Manta and four Subtech cabinets per side –flown at the request of FOH engineer, Howard Page. There were no subs on the ground, just six Outline Mantas units positioned against the stage and used as fill for the front rows.

openarrayThe system was designed using Outline OpenArray 3D software, a 3D simulator able to predict the electro-acoustic results expected from a live show or a permanent installation.

‘We simulated everything with the Outline software a few days before the show and, after the installation we found the simulation reflected reality with surgical precision’, says Cipiesse Head Audio Tech, Giancarlo Paladini.

‘One of the challenges was to obtain 110dB SPL over the entire square with no spill onto the stage – above all, of low frequencies. This were the result – no delays half-way down the square, in spite of the 73m to be covered length-wise, and 110dB guaranteed with wonderful uniformity, exceeding even Sting’s technicians’ expectations. To manage this, we used two Outline VLAs, with an array made up exclusively of subs placed between them. Also, 9+9 Mantas elements (120°) were aimed at the audience to cover a distance of 30m, while for the remaining distance we had 12+12 Butterfly enclosures.

‘There was also a third array made up of subs positioned between the Mantas and the Butterfly systems. Following the sound engineer’s instructions – since a 50-piece orchestra is no joke to handle – we kept the stage clear of low frequencies, once more using OpenArray 3D so successfully that, thanks to a rather unusual cardioid sub configuration, somebody on stage even said that the subs were switched off.’

A few days earlier in Piazza della Loggia, Cipiesse used its Outline arrays for a sold-out concert by Jethro Tull.
