India's premier craft brewery IBC (Independence Brewing Company) outlet, located in Kalyani
Nagar
Pune, wanted to elevate its customer experience with a comprehensive acoustic system. IBC connected
with Shaan Bhavnani of Elements Events Management to install and design a
state-of-the-art Audio
system.
The Kalyani Nagar IBC outlet, spread over 18,000 sq. ft., is housed in a European-style Ivory
Monument Mansion and is more diverse than its counterparts opened across Pune and Mumbai. The
Biergarten dedicatedly serves top-notch, high-quality craft beers that are one-of-a-kind: brewed
meticulously by a team of highly competent brewers with premium ingredients from all over the world.
The venue is divided into three sections and needed fine-tuned speakers with a system that allowed
zero latency and delay when clientele passed from one zone to another. Shaan designed a
comprehensive audio system to complement the architect's plan and flow of the space, with the superb
sonic quality and adaptability of BlueBass.
The first outdoor section is powered by four BlueBass Sabre-12 Full Range Speakers (of 400W RMS
each) and supported by an extremely responsive and powerful pair of BlueBass Sabre-18s
Subs (of 600W
RMS each). The four full range speakers are powered by the Sabre 804 amplifier
allowing individual
volume control of each speaker enabling a perfect balance to be attained across the complex seating
layout.
Outdoor section powered by four BlueBass Sabre-12 Full Range Speakers (of 400W
RMS each) and supported by a pair of BlueBass Sabre-18s Subs.
The central indoor section features large glass windows, immense air conditioning ducting and many
other highly reflective surfaces. Using eight Sabre-8 Full Range Speakers (of 200W RMS each)
strategically placed on opposite sides with complimenting subwoofers allowed for an even flow of
music at both low and high levels minimizing any slap-backs and echoes when the venue is empty. At
higher levels, the DJ can convert the entire space into a nightclub or event space.
The third and largest of the three sections is the performance outdoor section where the stage
positioning for any live performances is a central quad. Even with this design, a set of five
BlueBass Sabre-12 Full Range Speakers with three BlueBass Sabre-18S subwoofers can
evenly cover every corner of the area allowing for all clientele to hear each performance clearly.
The response of the Sabre 804 Amplifiers coupled with the raw power of NX Audio N10
amplifiers allow
the total system to be perfectly tuned by a set of DBX Venue 360 crossovers with the
sensitivity and
response specifications further allowing for a zero latency across each zone controlled by a
Samson
S-Zone controller.
The Sabre Series Speakers is a line of very high power and high output Premium Lounge and Club
loudspeakers designed to achieve the best performance with a compact size. The Sabre 804 is a class
D power amplifier with ultra-light weight and superb watts-to-money ratio. The light weight makes
the Sabre easy to move around, while meeting all your needs for professional applications with its
front-end drive circuits that leverage the inherent efficiency of Class D output stages while also
maintaining exemplary audio quality.
About the installation, Shaan says "I expected to spend a lot more time working out the balance
between the three zones due to the different speaker sizes, however the tonal quality of the Sabre 8
and 12 are so alike, the difference was negligible and easy to match. Opting for the stable and
economical BlueBass solutions has made each of my last 6 installs a whole lot easier and more
efficient to work on, even with the venue speakers varying in sizes!"
