Sound System

The main room of DNA Lounge has a brand new state-of-the-art sound system. It is a combination dj/live music sound system that serves the main downstairs dance floor, stage, and second floor balcony.

All sound system control and routing is provided by a pair of BSS Sound Web 9088 MKII 8x8 digital processors. These are signal-processing computers that digitally simulate all of the crossovers, compressors, equalizers, etc. used in the PA. By using these, we're able to have a single sound system that serves double duty as both a dj system and a live system, since it can be completely reconfigured at the press of a button.

The dj station, front-of-house sound board, and lighting station are located on a raised platform above the dance floor, with a clear view of the whole main room.

There is a second sound system upstairs, in the rear lounge. This can be run as a completely independent system, or can be slaved to the main room sound system. In the lounge, the dj station is a flying coffin located at the edge of the dance floor.
