UK SNOOKER CLUB OPTS FOR EVIDS
Northampton, UK-based sound and lighting installer Fabtronic recently completed an extensive and flexible Electro-Voice sound system installation at Barratt’s Club in Northampton, a large sports bar and snooker hall fashioned out of a former shoe factory.Belonging to the McManus Group, which maintains its head office in the building, Barratt’s is a sizeable venue with several different elements, including pool rooms, a games arcade, a main bar, a restaurant lounge and a vast snooker hall.
Barratt’s owners briefed Fabtronic’s designers to come up with a sound system that would fit in and around the multiple plasma TV screens that form the core identity of the sports bar. The objective was to have 6 discrete audio zones, allowing different sports to be shown in different areas of the bar.
Using Electro-Voice's popular EVID compact loudspeakers, with their distinctively shaped full-range cabinets, Fabtronic installed more than 30 of the 6.2 models in white to match the venue's upmarket interior design. The system is capable of far more than just background music replay: powered and processed by EV, with eight 12.1 subwoofers in support, the EVIDs are powerful enough to handle live bands, DJs and karaoke entertainment when required. The Fabtronic team reports that the speakers are easy to fit as well; engineers installed the whole Barratt’s system while the pub was trading as usual.
