Harnessing knowledge gathered from over five decades of successful AV installs, The Avit Group’s principal strengths lie in the deployment of industry-leading technologies for entertainment and hospitality venues across Australia. Tasked with the installation of a comprehensive audio system for a new space within Sydney’s Revesby Worker’s Club, The Avit Group chose a selection of systems from Melbourne’s own Quest Engineering.
An enduring presence in Sydney’s entertainment landscape since 1973, Revesby Workers’ Club has evolved dramatically from its humble beginnings. Once a modest social gathering space for a close-knit community, the venue has expanded to encompass a wide range of amenities- a growth which continues into present-day. 2022 saw the planning and development of Miss Iggy’s, a new nightclub/pub combination promising to ‘bring a trendy Inner Sydney vibe to the heart of Revesby.’
Inspired by quirky street art and retro arcade parlors, the development of Miss Iggy’s brought a host of audio requirements spanning multiple interconnected zones- including a lounge, bar, nightclub area and arcade. The Avit Group’s Operations Manager, Adrian Davis, expands on the brief:
“Miss Iggy’s successfully marries the vibrant, eclectic energy of inner Sydney with modern AV technology. The brief required an AV system that would act in synergy with a broad range of services and facilities, while maintaining a seamless atmosphere for guests. The solutions needed to be versatile enough to accommodate a variety of events and performances, whilst being able to deliver high-quality audio throughout the venue. After evaluating various options, we decided on loudspeakers from Quest Engineering for their top-tier performance, flexibility, and adaptability.”
The venue’s exterior features a spread of MX801s, Quest’s compact weatherproof monitors. Perfectly suited to keeping the quality of audio high across more utile aspects of the venue’s system design, Quest’s MX Series are equally regarded for their architecture-friendly, low-profile aesthetics and a variety of easy mounting options. Quest Engineering’s high-fidelity MX6C ceiling speakers were also chosen to extend coverage into the bathrooms, and a QX4300 amplifier from Quest’s new QX Series is used to power all MX loudspeakers.
Long favoured by The Avit Group, systems from Quest have become the integrator’s go-to solutions for premium installs, as Adrian explains:
“Quest’s MX801 speakers deliver vibrant and detailed sound, ensuring a top-notch auditory experience. These are paired with Quest’s own amplifier system, which match up perfectly in performance and price. Both brands are renowned for their exceptional sound quality and versatility, and they have certainly delivered in this project.”
Brought to life by an exceptional audio system, Brad Magri, The Avit Group’s Managing Director, shares an anecdote from the venue’s development process:
“The people behind Revesby Workers’ Club were a new client of ours, and they were initially leaning towards the ‘bigger is better’ approach to the sound system. We showed them the Quest loudspeakers, that boast a smaller format, but don’t compromise on performance. As soon as we turned the speakers on- and they heard that hard-hitting power- there were great big smiles all round. They love what we’ve achieved and so do we.”
