Twelve Miami is a club that focuses on promoting live concerts
every weekend in addition to hosting various electronic nights and other
cultural events. Since its opening in February 2016, notable artists that have
appeared at the club include Chino y Nacho, Farruko, El Gran Combo, El Binomio
de Oro, Caramelos de Cianuro, and many others. To ensure the best audio
reproduction for a wide range of events, club management wanted a versatile
sound reinforcement system, which they found with components from the Event,
Artec, and Vantec Series catalogs of Valencia, Spain-based D.A.S. Audio.
PA Sound and Solutions Corporation of Medley, FL, a company
dedicated to the distribution and sale of audio and lighting equipment for
export as well as sales throughout the American domestic market, coordinated
the transaction for the newly opened Twelve Miami. Leandro Arguello, the
company’s Sales Manager, discussed the project and his decision to deploy
loudspeaker systems from D.A.S. Audio.
“Since the club regularly hosts a lot of live acts and uses DJ’s
as well, they required a versatile system capable of performing well for both
types of acts. The sound system needed to be capable of handling both live
music and music playback accurately, have good speech intelligibility, and
provide even dispersion throughout the room. The combination of the D.A.S.
Event Series 210A line arrays and 218A subwoofers—augmented by the company’s
Artec and Vantec point source loudspeaker enclosures—worked out really well.
The system covers the entire area evenly with great low end and clarity.”
The D.A.S. loudspeaker setup at Twelve Miami includes a total of
eight Event 210A active line array enclosures: flown four elements each for the
left and right main hangs. These loudspeakers are augmented by four D.A.S.
Event 218A powered subwoofers—two enclosures each for the left and right sides
of the stage, positioned on the floor. To ensure event coverage at the very
front of the stage area, there are four D.A.S. Artec 508A powered loudspeaker
enclosures placed across the front of the stage.
For
the performers, the on-stage monitoring setup includes four D.A.S. Vantec 15A
powered 2-way sidefill enclosures as well as four Event M210A active stage
monitors. Loudspeaker management is provided by a D.A.S. DSP-4080 processor.
System cabling is handled by products from Accenta USA while an Avid Venue SC48
console handles mixing chores.
