DNA Lounge has four separate sound systems in each of our
four rooms.
The sound system in the main room 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
BSS Soundweb London BLU-100 12×8 digital processor. This
is a signal-processing computer that digitally simulates all of the
crossovers, compressors, equalizers, etc. used in the PA. By using
this, 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.
The Above DNA sound system is similarly controlled by a
Soundweb London BLU-16, and simple lighting controls are integrated
into the DJ coffin.
The two upstairs back rooms ("Lounge" and "Dazzle") each have
their own DJ sound systems as well.
More details on the physical layout of the rooms can be found
on the Facilities page.
