UK: For Bristol’s award-winning RedX Dance – inspiring dancers of all ages from children to adults with high-energy street dance classes since 2012, high quality audio is everything. Now at its Staple Hill studio the vibe is sharper than ever thanks to an upgrade to the Optimal Audio ecosystem, supplied and installed by Richer Sounds, Bath.
The large studio space deserved a system that delivered punchy, even coverage reaching every corner. Richer Sounds turned to Optimal Audio’s Cuboid 6 wall-mounted speakers, to provide full-range clarity with style in a powerful yet compact footprint. Bringing the low-end weight that’s imperative for hip-hop and urban tracks is the support of a single Sub 6.
“The Cuboid 6 gives us a great balance between size and performance,” confirmed Tom, Store Manager at Richer Sounds, Bath. “We didn’t want to overload the space with speakers, so the Cuboids offered perfect coverage while staying discreet. And even though the Sub 6 is the smallest in the range, it’s incredibly punchy – just right for the music RedX dancers love.”
Optimal Audio’s award-winning WebApp provides full configuration or control of the system. For everyday use, WebApp presents a simple and intuitive interface which can speedily access routines or even set them up to be automatically triggered.
WebApp is available via any browser but at RedX is accessed via the ZonePad 4P, which conveniently offers four channels of 100W integrated amplification at four or 8 ohms, whilst for 70v applications channels can be bridged for 200W at 8ohms. An additional Amp100 completed the power requirement, and the combination provides a future-ready system for RedX.
Tom adds, “The use of the Zone4P was crucial to the success of the system as it not only allows for enough power to drive the speakers but also a great deal of connectivity so that it can be controlled by the client in a simple-to-use manner. Combined with the Amp 100 power amp the system has plenty of power so that if the client wishes to expand with additional speakers in the future there is sufficient headroom. It’s been a great solution for them.”
Red X studio owner and teacher Jasmine Sorisi-Thomas added, “The new, top-of-the-line sound system in our studio, gives crystal-clear audio that fills every corner of the room with incredible detail and depth. Dancers love the surround sound – it makes every session feel like a live performance.”
