Versuz Ipanema
Hasselt (Belgium)
The name ‘club Versuz’ has been around for more than a decade, and even managed to reach the prestigious DJMag list of top 100 clubs, only two years after opening its new premises in 2013.
One of the strengths for achieving its place in this respected list was probably the fact that they had the luxury of designing and constructing a club with the sole purpose of providing, even the most critical clubber the night of their life. Having the asset of starting with a clean slate to achieve the high standards placed upon themselves, the club owners started a search for an audio system that could manage complex processing in multiple zones and could easily adapt to future developments.
Without knowing, they found the solution for their requirements in a device that originates from the same city of Hasselt, where club Versuz operates. The solution controlling the club’s complete audio system ended up to be the M2 digital audio mixer from AUDAC. This device could achieve every challenge with ease, due to its 11 powerful DSP processors. Thanks to this multimedia digital audio mixer, headliners like Martin Solveig, Bob Sinclar and Klingande made the audience dance like there is no tomorrow.
While building a new outdoor beach club this summer they asked AUDAC for a system that could deliver the same reliability and quality that they experienced with their advanced audio matrix. For this special occasion AUDAC suggested a combination of more than 30 WX502 outdoor loudspeakers, 6 BASO15 bass reflex cabinets and 26 custom build 100V VEXO8 compact power cabinets.
The outdoor concept ‘Ipanema’ is the ideal location for a friendly chat and a place to relax in the afternoon while listening to lounge or house. With the Mexican theme and creating the ultimate summer feeling you can say that Ipanema is a bit of Ibiza in Belgium.
As a special treat to this was that AUDAC also provided a prototype of its 100V amplifiers that powers the complete audio setup from just one unit. This soon to be released PMQ series amplifiers is built for applications that require a high output power on low and high impedance, which suited perfect for the outdoor club. “With the virtue of the WaveDynamics™ technology that is implemented in the amplifier, everybody is astonished if we tell that the sound only comes from just one 100V amplifier.” Tells Stijn Vandebosch product manager at AUDAC “This forms the best real live test procedure we could hope for” continues Stijn Vandebosch. “Having a prototype running in a real environment for an entire summer will show that the amplifier can take up the most intensive use.” Tom Van de Sande Marketing Marketing manager at AUDAC adds to this “The club Versuz always manages to surprise its guest with the latest technology for show and events, knowing that AUDAC products are driving part in this atmosphere makes me proud to be a part of it”.
