In the ten years since opening, top London club fabric has been networking audio through its three legendary dance rooms using the BSS Audio SW9088 Soundweb. During that time the venue’s sound reinforcement has undergone constant revision to keep it at the cutting edge, but the DSP remained the same — until now.
“The old green boxes gave us great service but we had to own up to the fact that technology has moved on — processing speed has become a lot faster, and there is now greater capacity and more powerful capabilities,” says head of technology Sanjeev (Sanj) Bhardwaj. This was something he became aware of last year when he was installing the audio at sister club, matter."
As a result he has just replaced the entire digital network with the new generation BSS Soundweb London BLU solution, using BSS Audio’s proprietary BLU-Link network transport, endemic to the BLU-160 and BLU-120 devices which are at the heart of the new system. Based on Gigabit Ethernet technology the BLU-Link carries 256 channels of fault-tolerant, low-latency audio at 48kHz/24bit, or 128 channels at 96kHz/24bit across a standard CAT5e connection — providing signal quality unprecedented in the club’s history, according to Sanj.
