Innovation - Turbosound’s official installer in Tyne and Wear - was recently commissioned to supply and install the sound system for a ‘wild west’ theme bar in Newcastle. Purpose-built on two floors, Buffalo Joe’s is the latest and now the largest theme bar to hit The Quayside, with a capacity of up to 1000 people.

Hosting a schedule of live entertainment six days a week - which includes a DJ throughout open hours, cabaret, live PA and bucking bronco - the owners considered the sound system to be a major priority. Innovation tendered successfully, and the company designed and installed the sound system, the main backbone of which is 12 Turbosound TCS-259 speakers positioned discreetly amongst the wild west props throughout the ground floor, six TCS-35 speakers set on the first floor, six TCS-118 subwoofers placed throughout the ground floor, along with one THL-818 enclosure on the dance floor.

Innovation founder and director Rob Hutchinson commented: "The design needed to incorporate less level aimed at the bar staff, yet at the same time be loud enough on the ground floor level to extend the dance floor sound to surrounding areas when required. The THL-818 horn-loaded enclosure on the dance floor enables the bottom end to kick."
