I don't like Roxy

It's not because of the layout or the cheesiness, the lack of vibe or the half dressed 16 year old girls running around (I recognize that some of these things are appealing to others). It's because the sound sucks. I have only been there twice, both times since they installed their $300,000 Phazon and it is horribly disapointing.
I am not usually one to bitch about clubs (excluding exit) but the sound at the roxy concerns me because i plan on giving them a lot of my money in the next few months to see some world class djs. and i will be very disappointed if i go to see great talent only to have their sets obscured by the washed out sound in the roxy.
this is just a recurring thought i've been having but it is causing me to consider driving to baltimore to see sasha again because i want to hear him on a good system.
is anyone else concerned about this or i am just being silly? |

No your right, Its ridiculous how a top dj like Edgar V would be told to stop after spinning for 30 min:mad: :whip: Hopefully things will change for the better |

i dont think it is possible...then again i am no certified phazon installer but i think i remember reading on it. something having to do with the dimensions of the club for it to be fully optimized. idk-roxy is way too big imho. |

so it's a tradeoff i guess. for a bigger venue you can pack in more people, but the sound system will be diluted.
i dnon't know how big the roxy is (never been) but the Guvernent in Toronto (which has the phazon installed) is huge and cavernous and the phazon just sounds absolutely sublime over there..
maybe the roxy owners need to tweak their phazon system!
Pork! |

| How is Roxy's Phazon compared to Exit's or SF's sound system? I was verry satisfied with Phazon at ARC. |

phazon is a great system but it is not designed for a small space. the sound needs to resonate off the walls of the club to sound right and it can't do that at roxy cause the speakers are in the middle of the room. arc has the perfect space for this desgin.
i hope they can tweak it but this is a fundamental design problem that they can't fix. i hear the sound is better than it was before the phazon but I had much higher expectations for the amount of money that they spent.
i do think it is better than exits system (which is not too great) from the perspective that the bass is very good at roxy (no ear ringing). there also is not a lot of distortion in the sound at roxy but what good does that do if all the mids and his are getting lost in the room? |

No, your not being silly at all.. the sound at Roxy SUX, like i said on the scott bond review, there is no treble there.. it just sounds muffled and .. if it stays like that, im gonna be pissed when pvd comes.... i dont care if Arc is "too small for pvd" i would die to hear paul's set on Arc's soundsystem....i dont know, i just hope roxy dont become another commercialized "super club" but i have a feeling its already leaning towards that direction:( |

hi,
I didn`t like Guverment`s phazon... It has way too much bass and you can barely hear other sounds (synths, etc).
many greetings,
f0x |
