ISTANBUL, Turkey — For a new nightclub here, Richie, Akhan SES Isik Ve Gorsel Sistemler Tic designed and installed a sound system centered on One Systems’ 208CIM full-range speakers and 118Sub-W subwoofers.
More details from One Systems (www.onesystems.com):
The 300-seat venue dreamed up by owner, Kalust Salcioglu, opened in February 2012 and boasts incredible live shows, gourmet food and drink. The atmosphere at Richie is very plush and upscale and is enhanced by dramatic black and white colors that envelope its space. Its unique ambiance is enhanced with a private bar, angled wall panels, mirrored ceiling panels and brilliant lighting.
The goal of the installation was to ensure that the sound was very high quality and perfectly detailed, down to the lowest frequencies. To match the aesthetic quality of the space, the project required innovative, high-quality sound. One Systems’ patented transducer technology and high-output woofers made the choice simple for Haluk Akgun, managing director of Akhan SES.
“One Systems speaker systems were ideal for this club setting thanks to their impressive aesthetic quality, impeccable design, and premium-class high quality sound,” commented Akgun. Due to its low ceiling height, Akgun began looking for speakers that would not dominate the space, or appear obtrusive therefore each 208CIM is suspended horizontally with U-Brackets and tilted downward 40 degrees. “The bright white finish of the One Systems enclosures perfectly complements the clean artsy look of the club’s interior,” adds Akgun.
In addition to the One Systems speakers, Akhan SES also equipped Richie with LED lighting and lasers. The club also uses the Xilica XD-8080, a high-performance digital processor to produce top class audio performance.
“We are very pleased with the look and performance of One Systems speakers, as is our client,” commented Akgun.
Doug MacCallum, President of One Systems is also very pleased with the growing relationship with Akhan SES. “This install again demonstrates that One Systems speakers are very appropriate for venues requiring high level premium sound quality. Although One Systems speakers are mostly specified for high-output sports and entertainment venues that also require all weather performance, One Systems speakers provide the performance that so many indoor venues desire. The 208CIM’s and 118 Sub-Woofers, our mid-sized systems, are perfect for nightclubs that want their customers to receive an incredible audio experience.”
