Tune It Up in Slippery Senorita
03 Dec 2009
This Penang hotspot just got hotter thanks to RCF sound system.
Malaysia - Want to have a
dash of retro in the urban concrete jungle of Butterworth? Step inside the
latest attraction of Juru Autocity, the Slippery Senorita. This club is a
mixture of contemporary design with retro theme decoration. From outside, this hot
spot literally stood out like an orange among the apples. Coated in a shade of
tangerine orange, this club is a cheerful reminder of the happy and
enthusiastic side of life.
Opened in
September 2009, this popular spot is the brainchild of three long-time friends.
Mr. Mark Siva, the Sound Engineer, is one of the pioneers of the club. Sitting
before us, Siva is still as enthusiastic as ever when it comes to his club.
“This is actually a sister club. As you know, there is one established Slippery
Senorita in
Georgetown
(Located in the nightclub hotspot, The Garage). After contemplating, we find
that Juru Autocity is also a very suitable location for us. That’s why we
decided to go ahead with the decision”
Since both clubs
are running a different concept (Autocity’s is taking an acoustic live band
approach while Garage’s is leaning towards urban R&B beats), serious
considerations need to be taken in the sound and audio aspect. “Let me put it
this way. For this club (Autocity), I expect a system with clearer definition.
We are dealing with live bands and acoustic music; we must have a clear and defined
sound system. We really want to bring out the music and the raw energy of live
performance. So, in more ways than one, RCF really fulfils all the criteria”
Coverage to the
main dance floor is provided by a ceiling mounted FOH system comprising of four
NX-L23A line array cabinets in each cluster. A further 4 units of NX-S25A and 2
units of NXS-21A were positioned on each side of the main stage. For processor,
Siva opted for a DX4008 4 input and 8 output speaker processor. Two units of
FLY BAR NXL23 suspending bar for array system support were also installed.
Besides looking
for high definition in sound system, Siva is also vying for reliability. “We
want a good system that does what it does best without constant maintenance. We
can’t be expecting the system to break down all the time. Good quality consistency
is also another key factor in our selection of sound system. Well, we must have
certain degree of confidence in our system. In this case, RCF has so far performed
splendidly. Plus I must add, this system is definitely value for money. It
worth every penny I spend!”
Installed on a
complex truss pattern that reminisced the intricate design of a spider web,
this whole system proved to be a hit with the club goers. Siva feels that the
sound quality is good and it enlivens the whole atmosphere of the club.
“Feedback from the crowd has been positive so far. They love the sound quality
and the clear definition. For me, I really like the way it brings up the
spirits and the energy of the crowd. A bad sound system can drive the crowd
away but a good one will make them stay”
