NICE!
I am heading to Stereo to see Sander K on the 24th. I guess he has been asking to come back and may even make it a residency?

Sander played here twice in 2002. Personally I like the koolhaus when they limit the tickets. I saw digweed with about 1500 other ppl, much room to dance. Personally I'd take the guv/koolhaus over viva any day but then again, I'm biased

The sound system in guv is very good but you guys are right, its not set up properly. Its like they bought it but don't know what to do with it. I thought with such a system you also get a technician to set it up but i guess not.

My name is Bob Vonesh, and I work with Vertex Sound and Lighting, in Markham, Ontario. Our company was responsible for the sound and lighting installation done at Viva, and I was pleased to hear that many of you seem to prefer the result we were able to acheive in that club. The fact that the two rooms are so different in size has much to do with the differences in sound that many of you perceive. The equipment used in each system is quite different as well, but in both cases, the quality of the gear used is very high. The system installed at Viva is comprised of flown EAW KF-850's for the mid/hi portion of the system, and the deep bass is produced by a large quantity of the well known Vega SL-36PE "Earthquake" subwoofers. The fact that the subs are driven by MULTIPLE Crest 10,001 amplifiers is the primary reason that the bass you hear is so fat and deep. There is no substitute for large numbers of watts when you are going after tons of deep bass! The power amps throughout the system are somewhat oversized, and this helps to contribute to the lack of distortion many posters commented on. Extensive use of digital signal processing gear is also a factor that contributes to the unusually clean audio in this space. We worked hard to try and design a system for Viva that would produce not only the volume the owners wanted, but that would operate at those elevated volume levels without sounding harsh or distorted. The art of properly tuning a large scale sound system is partly science, but also partly the magic of the human ear, and sound companies (including ourselves) are especially interested in this human aspect. Anyone with money can purchase a large pile of equipment, but it takes skill to turn that equipment into a system that works well in the space it is installed in. In the end, it is this ability that separates the posers from the real companies out there. I'm happy to talk equipment issues anytime, if you care to email me at [email protected]. Check us out at www.vertexsound.com Cheers!

There you have it folks! If you have any questions regarding the sound system installed at Viva, just ask Vertexsound.

jeez. I tell non-trance folk about how tight the trance community is, but they don't listen.

they didn't have the balls to go to a nightclub either when I invited them.

NO! I'm ALWAYS trying to spread the word to people at clubs. You do find people that "SAY" they've heard of it, but for the most part a lot of people are clueless! SPREAD THE TA WORD!
