[ATTACH=CONFIG]195143.vB5-legacyid=3073[/ATTACH]FEBRUARY 2012 – CONCEPTUALISED AS A COMPREHENSIVE ONE-STOP LIFESTYLE venue, Singapore’s Aquanova Restaurant Bar aims to set the bar as the hot spot for an exquisite dining experience twinned with stimulating live performances.
Headed up by LifeBrandz’s Executive Chef Ivan Ho, Aquanova presents an exquisite menu boasting delectable Asian-inspired dishes with a novel touch, accompanied by the dulcet beats of house acoustic duo, JJ Live, while after dinner guests can party to the electrifying performances of contemporary rock and pop by John Molina & Krueger.
Aquanova is the site of a recent audio refit by Turbosound’s Singaporean distributor Consolidated Audio Networks, who has installed a new sound system comprising ten TCX-12 two-way passive loudspeakers with ten TCX-18B bandpass subwoofers supplying plenty of low end shove, all powered by RACKDP-50 DSP-based four channel amplifiers. Self-powered Milan M15s are deployed as drum and keyboard monitors, and Impact65T injection-moulded architectural speakers provide the required ambience in the VIP areas to complete the overall sonic picture.
Head of Music / Technical Mr Josh M. says that audio quality was high on the list when it came to choosing the loudspeaker products for this unique project. “Turbosound’s TCX series won hands down,” he says, “the passive TCX boxes produce a very good tonal balance, and that was exactly the kind of sound we were looking for in Aquanova. The RACKDP-50 amplifiers were a plus with their built-in DSP platform – that facility gives exactly the correct level of control only to the qualified audio staff, and no-one else, in order to maintain the system’s integrity and sonic quality at all times. The boxes sound amazing!”
A last-minute design change to the stage placement required a re-think on the part of the CAN crew, and involved some experimentation in coupling the TCX-18B subwoofers for the best bass response, but Mr Josh M. declared his satisfaction at the result: “We’ve been very happy with the extra time and effort Chad Batchelor and his crew have put in, and for taking the time to patiently and expertly tune and align the system to be so perfect.”
