VNM – Situated in the entertainment hub of Da Nang, Shanghai Beer Club offers patrons energetic DJ sets and live music performances backed by a Martin Audio system with Powersoft amplification. The solution was designed and integrated by B-Star Sound & Lighting, with the Powersoft amplifiers provided by the brand’s Vietnamese distributor UPSV.
Shanghai Beer Club sets itself apart with its premium beer club-meets-nightclub concept. With a large floor area, high ceilings and demanding SPL requirements, the venue needed an audio system capable of delivering powerful impact while maintaining clarity, balance and long-term operational stability.
Taking this into account, B-Star Sound & Lighting built the system around a Martin Audio line array solution which handles the primary sound coverage, while the British brand’s Blackline X15 and X218 units provide additional reinforcement and low frequency energy. This configuration has been designed to provide wide, even coverage, high SPL capability, and the controlled sound clarity essential for a large-scale beer club and nightclub environment.
At the heart of the system are Powersoft Quattrocanali 8804 and Duecanali 6404 amplifiers, chosen for their high-power density, efficiency and reliability.
Ita Pham, technical representative of B-Star Sound & Lighting, highlighted the features of Powersoft’s technology ecosystem for nightlife venues: “With Powersoft’s ArmoníaPlus software, we can easily set up and configure the system in a very intuitive way. The integrated DSP and EQ presets for many loudspeaker brands make tuning fast and accurate. Connectivity via Dante or AES67 is also quick and convenient. We are truly impressed by the sound quality the system delivers.”
Nguyen Quang Truong, sales representative of B-Star Sound & Lighting, added: “After the system was completed, the client was extremely satisfied with the audio performance. This is a very large beer club with strict requirements for sound quality and output, especially when DJs, singers, and live bands perform. The compact design and energy efficiency of Powersoft amplifiers were also highly appreciated. That’s why we are always confident in Powersoft technologies when proposing solutions for major projects.”
