Locura, Goa
ID : #V216 Name : Locura City : Anjuna State : Goa Type : Lounge / Club Brands: British Acoustics, OSL, Adam Radio ABOUT THE CLIENT : Locura is a restaurant built upon the open air design, which is ready to change the entertainment and nightlife scene in Goa. Spaced between two sections, with live performance stage in a nice open-air seating arrangement, and a comfortable terrace area with unhindered view of the open sea and the sunset. The decor is great with a rustic look during the day and beautiful shack-like look during the evenings. The food menu caters to the palate of a comfort seeker and a gourmand, alike. It serves an alluring cocktail menu stirred especially for the new age drinker of today along with the old classical ones. Great place, with great food where you can sit back and enjoy the sunset while listening to good live music strumming in the background! ABOUT THE INSTALL : The installation carried out in this restaurant was a challenge as it is open air and there are noise level regulations, which had to be taken into consideration. A distributed loudspeaker system was deemed the best option to provide optimum SPL throughout the space. To create a party atmosphere, 6 nos of 15″ Mid-High loudspeakers and two Dual 18″ sub-woofers were installed at the main stage area, acting as the main FOH system. The installed 15″ loudspeakers, were chosen for the main stage due the need for a truly directional system, avoiding spill in to the other areas. Another six 12″ loudspeakers in combination with two 18″ sub-woofers were split equally at the mezzanine bar to ensure the party goers can dance around the venue with no drops in sound levels. They also deliver the high SPL required at the restaurant, as the system looses no more than 3 dB SPL even with the increasing distance. Optimal placement also helped in directing the sound straight to the guests, with minimal reflections which were further eliminated by British Acoustics signal processor. TESTIMONIALS : “The system is very powerful, but the control provided by the DSP Processor and placement of the subs ensures that the sound of the entire system is very well contained.” Vicky Pareira, Sales Executive, VMT Enterprise “The sound quality is very high in the restaurant, and on the terrace, with plenty of headroom” Anurag Khanna, Deputy General Manager, VMT Enterprise “It has been great working with Mohit and the passion he has for this industry can be seen in the way the place has turned up! The system deployed meets and enhances the demanding needs of the restaurant; and has the ability to flawlessly transition and drive higher volumes when the dance floor expands.” Jeff Mandot, National Sales Manager, VMT Enterprise “The new speakers sound awesome and really help make each dance night a blast. Kudos to the team at VMT for their support. Their team was quick & professional while installing the systems and im extremely happy with the results” Mohit Bachani, Director, Locura
