ELECTRO-VOICE RAISES THE BAR IN DOWNTOWN MINNEAPOLIS

Sneaky Pete's (1st Av & 5th St)

System design/install: Doug Suiter, Metro Sound & Lighting, St. Paul

 

Sneaky Pete’s is a brand new bar with a stunning QRx, ZX1i and Sb122 install that looks great and sounds even better. Like Drink a couple of doors down, the EV sound system at Sneaky Pete’s accommodates the need for high quality background music AND club-level SPLs for DJ sets and live band performances later on in the evening. A no-expense-spared distribution of surface-mounted ZX1i boxes (with Sb122 sub reinforcement) accompany numerous plasma screen monitors throughout the bar, covering every square inch with impeccable audio and video. Assorted QRx boxes cover the dance floor and live stage. Power is via EV P-Series amps located on the lower level.

 

Drink (1st Av & 5th St)

System design/install: Doug Suiter, Metro Sound & Lighting St. Paul

 

Drink originally featured a large audio install with equipment from another top pro audio manufacturer. That system didn’t make the grade, and was quickly replaced: now a proliferation of white Electro-Voice QRx, ZX1i and Sb122 boxes ensure the club, which boasts a brand new live stage, is packed every weekend.

 

Other recent EV installs of note in downtown Mpls include Bootleggers and Axis, both on busy 1st Av. Both feature QRx systems to deliver the full-bore club experience in a compact package.
