Geelong nightclub Club 4 Play recently underwent refurbishment and top of the shopping list for owner Scott Mackay was a new sound system and after extensive research Nexo PS Series was chosen. Previously the club had been divided into two distinct areas but after the renovation four areas were created with extensive sound insulation. Each room caters to a different music genre: rhythm and blues, disco, main dance floor and a main bar with a small VIP section.

The main dance floor, which regularly features guest DJ’s from interstate, is not a very large space yet it still houses four Nexo PS15 speakers for a loud and powerful effect. Three double 18″ custom subwoofers that have RCF drivers provide the thump. The quieter R ‘n’ B room has a couple of Nexo PS15 speakers along with some custom subwoofers containing RCF 18″ drivers. The main bar features four Quest HP8 speakers with Quest single 18″ subwoofers. The disco room and VIP room utilises old speakers from the previous fit out.

Prior to the refurbishment Scott spent a month traveling through Europe sampling the nightlife continuing his investigations upon his return to Australia. At the end of his extensive survey he was adamant that Nexo was the only sound system for him.

“I’d heard such good reports about Nexo speakers particularly from clubs 161 and Revolver in Melbourne,” said Scott. “Just listening to them is phenomenal; they give such a great performance. Since we’ve installed our Nexo speakers the most crucial and critical response has been from the visiting DJ’s who have been absolutely overwhelmed by their sound quality. And believe me they’re not easy to please!”
Interesting Light Installation at Club 4 Play
“Fortunately Nexo was the product that I wanted to specify too,” said Kevin Bishop, managing director of Bishop Audio & Lighting who supplied and installed the sound system into Club 4 Play. “Scott is very hands-on and likes to oversee everything that happens in the club. When it comes to equipment he generally has a good idea of what he wants before we start discussions.
Nexo PS Series for a loud and powerful effect
“For the size of the space the Nexo PS15 is the perfect product. They’re not really large areas but we wanted a very clean, punchy system.” Kevin also specified the Camco Tecton 38.4 amplifiers to power the Nexo speakers throughout the installation.
