Clapham and Northampton were as sonically challenging as their predecessors, according to John Fearon. As with all new projects, the installer has to understand and interpret the client's requirements, and provide a scheme offering superior audio quality - on budget. The flagship two-floor Clapham venue is part of a new building on the High Street, and it required a mixture of equipment from Arbiter. Fearon opted for five JBL MS26 speakers and an SB2 sub on the first floor and a total of eight JBL Control 28s and eight JBL Control 25 enclosures plus a further two SB2 subs, on the ground floor.
Control 28s were chosen for the ground floor bar areas because they provide good decibel levels and high quality audio, as well as being small, with a discreet profile. In the raised areas of the ground floor, Eclipse has installed JBL Control 25 speakers.
