HAHA well yea that lighting will work better than lasers haha. Thing with lasers is its cheaper than lighting. So wasnt sure how much they put into lighting. That is sick though. I mean like with the church before the lights were actually used since tiesto, there was nothing. so in that case lasers would have worked. But yea lights are better if they are good.

I just was hoping a sound engineer could explain how the Funktion works using surround as well as acoustic panel like dance floor. I took some classes on sound and what not so those two dont really make sense to me. But with an explanation that makes sense - I can see how bad ass it really is.

imo the dance floor would *only* make sense (from a sound perspective) if it was empty, however when people are standing/dancing on it they're acting like a diffuser for the sound as it travels from front to back. perhaps it has more to do with being comfortable to dance on for extended periods of time than anything else?

Originally posted by omega1n Will be the first club in North America with the new FUNKTION-ONE Dance Array 4 Speaker Stack System. FUNKTION-ONE is regarded as the premier purveyor of sound in the world and we will be the first club to unveil their new line! And we're not just installing one, but two of these futuristic systems in Beta - one in the main room and one in the Beatport Lounge. We've taken great lengths to find sonic purity by hiring an acoustical engineer to analyze our space and we've installed more acoustic paneling then Webster Hall to ensure audio perfection. TRANSLATION: OUR SHIT BUMPS!!

but i digress, nowhere in his original post regarding the funktion one do i see a mention of "surround sound" so where are you getting that from?

Yea thats what i would say about the dance floor. For acoustic panels in a club to actually work you need them on the wall and ceiling. As for surround, I was told that, but I guess it doesnt mention anything about that. Cause from what i know surround isnt a switch type of thing. You need to have the tracks produced in dolby to be played in surround and this is something that is a bitch and is rarely done. It is like taking a blu ray dvd or hddvd and clicking surround. The amp will eliminate sound channels.

Well with that aside - FUNKTION ONE Array 4! Not sure how the new array sounds, but cant wait to check it out. Off topic, but anyone heard of JBL Synthesis? I went to a demo of the new line and think the older ones were better. JBL Synthesis is considered right up there with Funktion One for Pro Audio.

You can find tickets already online for opening day weekend and future dates on groovetickets or thru www.betanightclub.com

Open bar for the the 7th (Sharam of Deepdish) and 8th (Kaskade).

so is beta where Rise used to be? am i wrong?|

OHH ok. that clarifies a lot. Yea if Beta sets up properly, that place could really look top notch.

yeh after beer fest last fall that culminated at rise, hopefully they spruced it up a bit, but its a dynamic space.

lets just hope that it moves into the 2001s design wise. i guess seeing it with daylight didnt help tho|

I dont think they are renovating the outside - are they? Like i mentioned, they should have lights outside or a projection of the event flyer, something do make it feel club like and attract/spread the word from those passing by it.

no i meant that we were inside the club around 3pm, it wasnt too pretty. that being said most clubs prolly look like shit when you can see things with real light|
