The Cult Achieves Audio Perfection with Electro-Voice and
Dynacord
The Cult, Kolkata, uses trusted audio partners Electro-Voice and Dynacord to deliver a prime audio
experience
In the heart of Salt Lake Sector V, Kolkata's bustling IT hub, a new high-end restaurant and bar
named "The Cult" has opened its doors. Designed to be a gathering place for like-minded individuals
to connect and share their passions, The Cult is the second venture from the team behind the
successful The Biker's Café. Drawing from their positive experience with Electro-Voice and
Dynacord
at their first venue, the team chose to rely on the same trusted audio brands for this new project.
Their decision reflects a commitment to maintaining the high standards of quality and control that
these brands are known for.
The challenge for The Cult wasn't just to provide a high-quality sound system but to do so in a
space that could have easily become a reverberant ordeal. The venue's 24-foot (7.3-meter) ceiling,
coupled with two glass walls and the absence of acoustic treatment, presented a difficult hurdle.
However, the team at Standard Radio Service was undeterred. Drawing on their expertise in system
design and integration, they crafted a solution that transformed these acoustic challenges into
opportunities for excellence. Central to the sound system's success at The Cult is a blend of
Dynacord and Electro-Voice equipment. The venue's main PA system features Dynacord FX12-PRO
medium/long-throw mid/high-frequency cabinets paired with FX20-PRO horn-loaded subwoofers.
This
powerful combination ensures that sound is delivered with precision and clarity, regardless of where
one is seated. Supporting this setup are Electro-Voice ZLX-12P 12" powered loudspeakers,
which
provide an even soundfield throughout the venue. The private dining room benefits from additional
ZLX-12Ps, while ELX118P subwoofers bolster the low end.
To power the passive components of the system, Standard Radio Service utilized a pair of
Dynacord
L3600FD 2x 1800W power amplifiers. Processing duties are handled by two Electro-Voice DC-One
sound
system processors, which fine-tune the audio to meet the venue's demanding requirements.
The result of this sophisticated setup is a space where audio quality meets the high expectations of
its patrons. Whether The Cult is serving as a relaxed backdrop for daytime conversations or
energizing guests with live performances in the evening, the sound remains consistently excellent.
This careful consideration of acoustic challenges and thoughtful integration of top-notch equipment
ensures that The Cult delivers the immersive atmosphere its creators envisioned.
