Lucky Coq is a new retro-fashionable nightclub venue with multiple audio environments and plays host to a very wide variety of entertainment acts. The music spaces change, but the big overriding benefit demonstrated by the sound system can be summed up in one word – consistency. This new venue situated in Melbourne’s very fashionable Chapel Street has got to be one of the most “attention to detail” venues you are ever going to see. Spread between two floors with several sub-spaces, there’s lots of nooks and crannies, and it’s all audio zone covered with very high-fidelity sound.
The RCF Acustica is perfect here as the uniform acoustic footprint between the many speaker sizes required in this venue, makes transition from one space to another seamless–with the only change being sound pressure level. This is pretty handy as there are lots of nooks and crannies around the building and they are all covered with sound.
This venue is really worth a look. The presentation and attention to detail is quite exceptional and as for the sound, that is just as good. Installation and system design was by Pro Light and Sound.
