A new sound reinforcement system has been installed in Angola’s Patio Luanda – high on Luanda’s social scene, hosting live music, corporate events and weddings. The opening concert for the venue was performed by internationally renowned singer, Yuri da Cunha.
Requiring a sound system to deliver high SPLs, along with reliability, a Next-proaudio loudspeaker set-up was designed and installed by locale agent, Julio Cardoso. To achieve the venue’s requirements, the choice for the main system was a PX system, due to its versatility, sound quality and reliability. For the stage, there are Lam112x stage monitors.
‘The project was designed and conceived to satisfy all the needs of Patio Luanda, including live performances and DJs performance’, says Julio Cardoso. ‘In the case of live performances, they will use two PX systems as main system, one PX system as side fill and another PX system as delay. The PX system, thanks to its versatility and easy installation, allows Patio Luanda to change the position of the stacks depending on the event that is schedule. If they plan to use the systems for a DJ performance, each PX system can be placed in a corner of the room, covering the entire space uniformly and concentrating a huge sound pressure in the centre.’
The solution comprises eight PXH64 two-way, horn-loaded mid/high boxes, with 16 PXL118 18-inch hybrid-horn subwoofers. The system are powered by eight PXA8000 PX Power Rack.
The set-up is supplemented by six coaxial bi-amplified monitors LAm112x on the stage. The stage monitors are powered by Next MQ10000 amplifiers and with processing by the manufacturer’s LMS242.
