European aprés-ski venue L’Abarset has completed the installation of a carefully considered sound system from d&b audiotechnik.
In this spectacular mountainside location, with its strict residential noise regulations, the off-site sound levels had to be taken very seriously. Serving the clientele of the Pyrenees’ largest ski resort, Grandvalira, L’Abarset is known for fine-dining and parties, it needed to balance its entertainment reputation with environmental responsibility.
The challenge fell to technical production company, Onlivelighting who chose d&b because it was rider friendly and met the DJ’s demands. At the same time, they had to be aware of how the sound would spread off-site, away from the partying guests. Sound reinforcement was needed both inside the venue, in the restaurant area, and out on the terrace where revellers gather to enjoy the performances.
Inside, d&b 8S point source and 18S compact subwoofers are installed. Outside, point sources again prove valuable with V Series and Y Series in combination, with B6 Subs hidden within space’s architecture. All are powered by 40D amplifiers and system control is via R1 remote control software and an R90 touchscreen.
