Two of China’s most prestigious nightclubs have recently updated their technical installationsusing Apex Intelli-X2 processors to manage their sound systems – with six further similar installations to follow.

Among them, Xi’ang’s Club TNT is an 850m² venue offering a diverse course of live music and DJ sets, including pop, rock, electronic and hip-hop. The audio system here was designed and installed by Real Music Acoustic & Lighting Technology, one of China’s leading production technology houses, who specified four Apex Intelli-X2 48 processors to control a comprehensive Adamson loudspeaker system.

‘We designed the system with a matrix of loudspeakers, to ensure that all guests are covered by audio from at least two different directions wherever they are,’ says Real Music MD, Richie Wang. ‘This delivers a uniform sound throughout, maximising the enjoyment and experience for clubbers.

‘They are exceptionally powerful and flexible, deliver fantastic quality sound and are also remarkably straightforward to install and program,’ he adds.

The Club TNT installation also prompted its owner (Nanjing Trendsetter Entertainment Management, NTEM) to ommission Real Music to install a similar system in its latest venture, Club Enzo, an 875m² venue in Nanjing. Here, three further Apex Intelli-X2 48s were specified.

‘The sound at Club TNT and Club Enzo has really impressed everybody, not least the owners, who are dedicated to building China’s very best nightclubs,’ Wang reports. ‘Using Apex processors is an important part of achieving that aim and we look forward to specifying them at six more high-profile projects for NTEM in the near future.’
