The bass belongs
on the dance floor.
At a club night, what decides the evening is not how loud it is but where the loudness lands. On the dance floor the bass should sit in your chest. At the bar you should be able to talk without shouting. And as little as possible should reach the building next door. Those are three demands on the same system, and they are solved by placement, not by watts.
Where the subwoofers go
Low frequencies go round corners and through walls; you cannot aim them the way you aim light. What you can influence is the placement: subwoofers grouped together in the middle focus the punch on the dance floor, split left and right they spread it through the whole room. For a club night the first is usually right — more effect where people are dancing, less where nobody needs it.
Light needs something to land on
A beam of light is invisible in clear air; you only see the spot where it lands. Haze is what makes the beam itself visible — and that is the difference between a lit dance floor and a room where something is happening. What matters is a machine that works evenly rather than firing out clouds, and an agreement with the venue about the smoke detectors.
Get-in and get-out in the middle of the night
A club night finishes late, and afterwards the equipment has to come out — often the same night, because the room is needed for something else the next day. That is part of the plan, not an afterthought: access, lift, carrying routes and who is still there at four in the morning. We say beforehand what we need for it.
What the DJ finds waiting
DJs arrive with different habits. Some bring their own controller, some expect players and a mixer, some just want somewhere to plug in. We settle that beforehand, so that at nine in the evening there is no missing cable that nobody thought of.
- ▸Sound with subwoofers for the dance floor
- ▸Separate sound for the bar and side rooms
- ▸A DJ setup, or a connection for equipment you bring
- ▸Lighting above the dance floor instead of ceiling light
- ▸Haze or fog, agreed with the venue
- ▸Get-in and get-out overnight
Every setup is cut to the venue, the guest count and the running order — this list is a starting point, not a packing list.
What we get asked most often.
The venue or the authority sets that, not us. Tell us what applies — we set the system up accordingly. At the same volume, a well-placed system sounds considerably better than a badly placed one.
It can, and that has to be settled with the venue beforehand. In some rooms the system is switched over for the night, in others haze is not possible at all. Then we work differently — but we tell you in advance.
Not a problem, and often the better night. In a small room, too much system is worse than too little: it gets loud without getting better. We size it to the room.
For smaller parties we set the system up and hand it over. For bigger ones, or when several DJs swap over, one of us stays. We will tell you what makes sense once we know the basics.
