GUMBET, Turkey – Club Sapphire in Gümbet in Mugla province, Turkey, recently installed One Systems loudspeakers in its new outdoor dance club. Akhan SES Isik Ve Gorsel Sistemler Tic of Istanbul, one of Turkey’s leading audio installation companies, performed the design and installation of the sound system that includes One Systems’ 103IM and 106IM speakers.
With a capacity of over 2,000, Club Sapphire boasts incredible live shows with today’s latest pop and club music. Club Sapphire offers a fantastic outdoor space that is complete with lighting, leather seating, multiple bars, a large DJ booth and dance floor.
Due to the club’s proximity to the Aegean Sea, the goal of the installation was to install completely weatherproof speakers that could handle the hot weather and humid sea air. Secondly, the goal of management was to ensure that the sound was perfectly detailed, so that their patrons can experience every word, note and beat of the music.
One Systems’ weatherproofing, patented transducer technology and high-output designs made the choice simple for Haluk Akgun, managing director of Akhan SES. “One Systems is the only real weather-proof speaker line in the world that offers outstanding intelligibility and full-bandwidth audio. Their full line of speakers is unlike any other we have found,” says Akgun.
Each speaker is mounted on the perimeter walls of the club using One Systems PT-10 pan and tilt brackets. In order to maintain even coverage throughout the outdoor club, each speaker location is precisely three meters apart. “We have used One Systems speakers before and were very familiar with the installation process, as well as the quality of the speakers. The 103IM and 106IM speakers were perfect for the space, as they did not dominate the area, or appear obtrusive,” adds Akgun.
“Once again One Systems speakers did not disappoint and the club is very happy with the finished product,” commented Akgun.
Doug MacCallum, president of One Systems, is also very pleased with the growing relationship with Akhan SES. “This installation demonstrates that our products are perfect for venues requiring high level premium sound, and our speakers deliver the premium sound quality our customers expect whether outside or inside.”
