hey vertexsound .. i'm just curious, but is Phazon a 'standard' kinda like THX, whereby if ur configuration is in such a way , then it'z (Phazon) or is Phazon specifically a line of equipment (ie. something physical) .. ?
just wondering cuz i wonder if it's possible for the system at Viva to be say Phazon equivalent ..
forgive me if i'm not making much sense outta all this, but i'm not a sound system expert or anything .. |
Here goes...........
Phazon is a company, its not a standard, They dont manufacture systems/components. They use different brands eg. JBL, Pioneer, DBX, KLarkTeknik etc and "design" a system according to the requirements. The venue is inspected, each and every corner of the room even the material of the walls are researched. So for every different venue where a phazon has to be installed, it has to be done from scratch. You cant just buy a Phazon and just simply install it.
So basically they do a complete research on the venue and than install various components accordingly.
Steve Dash is the main Engineer for Phazon. He was here at Guv last year to refurbish the system. From what I heard, he used to stand in different places on the floor and tune it with a remote control !!
There are sensors installed on top of the quads, which even detect the air temperature, density, humidity. Sound is released taking in view all these factors !!! The last part only happens in "generation II" though. Now I'll explain that.
The client list on the Phazon site is a bit innaccurate, I've never been impressed by their site. Dont know how they have such a cheap site with such a big name.
When they say one of four in thw world. Its true.
Of the total 18 clubs in which Phazon is installed, 14 have the Generation I (Im not sure if thats what they call it now, they've renamed it to some digit word.) And the rest four have the Generation II, updated much more sophisticated system.
Twilo - NYC (Closed)
Cream - Liverpool (Closed)
Guvernment - Toronto
Space - Miami
There is no such thing as Phazon Equivalent...........a Phazon is a Phazon. I have yet to experience a system better than that. ALthough Meyers Sound which installed Aria's (Montreal) system are pretty good aswell. I would give them second place to Phazon.

I am as nomadic as the others wandering from warehouse to warehouse to have my soul awakened. The music thunders through my flesh, the notes swim within my veins. DJs spin their scriptures with eloquence, zest and assurance. The bass rattles my lungs and beats in unison with my heart. If I close my eyes I can watch my flesh melt away and my soul rise between the spaces of sound.
