With Morjana Club’s “bottom of the sea’ theme, the new 800-capacity Morjana nightclub at the Radisson Blu Hotel in Dubai chose to drive its sound system with Powersoft’s processor-controlled K3 amplifiers.

Pulse Middle East Trading were brought in to mastermind the fit-out from the beginning. Their plan was to achieve the best sound possible, and deliver fast-fit, high end sound, light and LED screens at a sensible budget.

The combination of TW Audio and Powersoft made it possible to produce a clear, undistorted and evenly distributed sound up to 143dB, with the incredible power saving and optimisation properties of Powersoft’s K3 DSP+AESOP 2800W 2-channel amplifier.

The benefits were clear from both an installer and integrator point of view; a 12U rack, holding 12 x K3 DSP+AESOP could comfortably produce 70 000 W of pure sound using TW factory presets routed and remote controlled and monitored by Armonia Pro Audio Suite software.

With the built-in DSP, the amplifiers needed to be linked together in stereo mode, back to the DJ booth without going through any external processors. Each K3 channel can be controlled individually and the complete sound processing tailored without getting limited to a specific control mode.

The result is that while the sound system typically outputs 130dB, evenly distributed throughout the club, the Powersoft K3-DSP+AESOP is utilising just 50% of its available power and saved 40% on the power consumption compared with other brands, says Karl Kahlau, Powersoft Regional Manager, EMEA. “We are increasingly seeing installations where factors such as extreme power density, reliability and manageability — all areas in which the Powersoft K-Series excels — are becoming increasingly important; the necessity to minimise the equipment footprint becomes significant.’
