Pub Silenus in downtown Budapest
Hungary - An English-style pub in Budapest has been refitted with QSC's K-Series and AcousticDesign loudspeakers. Situated in the trendy downtown area of the Hungarian capital, Pub Silenus boasts international cuisine and a wide selection of beers downstairs, while up on the first floor a full evening entertainment package, ranging from soft ambient music to karaoke, disco and live music takes place nightly.

Owner, Ákos Bankó, wanted to replace his old PA system with a loudspeaker brand that would sound clear right across the volume spectrum - whether fed from a band or the resident CD background system. QSC's K-Series was chosen on recommendation from a colleague of QSC's Hungarian distributors, Interton.

The resellers were soon carrying out a live demo of the moulded enclosures to show how matched components (including a 1K Class D amplifier present in all models) would optimise the system. As a result, some of Hungary's most famous musicians will now perform through a pair each of K12 12" two-way speakers and two 12" KSubs as the main PA, reinforced with four K10 floor monitors and a pair of K8 speakers providing additional fills.

Also mounted around the room on a distributed system are 16 AcousticDesign AD-S52Ts, which take over from the K-Series after 10pm due to volume limitations. These are driven by a pair of QSC's ISA300Ti 100V line amplifiers.
