Counted among Israel’s hottest nightclubs, The Beat has revamped its sound system with the help of local QSC distributor, Kilim Electronics.
The new PA system is based on QSC KLA Series Active Line Arrays and both K and KW Series Active Loudspeakers. Two KLA arrays, each with three KLA12 loudspeaker elements, are suspended on either side of the club’s main stage, with eight KW181 subwoofers for the low end. Two K12s supplelent the main PA, providing out-fill.On stage, six K12 active loudspeakers provide monitors for The Beat’s performing musicians.
As one of Israel’s best-known music venues, The Beat hosts live music from local artists and performers, as well as big-name artists on the international touring circuit. Every Tuesday night the club holds an ‘open mic’ night, when any artists may take the stage to perform, bringing only their instruments with them – many of whom have noticed the improvement.
‘A lot of artists play at The Beat on tour, and most of the live sound engineers who’ve worked here since the summer have commented on the improved sound quality and power offered by the new QSC system,’ say Doron and Erez, owners of the nightclub. ‘Most have liked the fact that the system produces audio at a high volume but does not hurt their ears like other nightclub PA systems.
‘The sound is clear without distortion, the subs are strong but not too overpowering, and the number of people who arrive at the club is increasing from week to week.’
‘The use of KLA, KW and K Series loudspeakers is very convenient and efficient,’ Gadi Kilim, head of Kilim Electronics, adds. ‘Since there are no amplifiers which physically take a lot of space, and the current draw of the K Family amplifier module is so low – the QSC system is the smart solution for permanent installations, especially when the audience is close to the stage.’More: www.kilim.org.il
