…and Lab.Gruppen System<\/em><\/span><\/h2>\n

In designing a distributed audio system for Monterey, CA event venue, Perry House, balancing the needs of the venue\u2019s guests against the expectations of their neighbours was key to the choice of Tannoy and Lab.gruppen products. \u201cThey wanted reliability and high quality, but they needed it to sound very clear, even at low volumes, especially outside,\u201d explains Kurt Yeager, owner\/president of Monterey\u2019s StreamLife Home Technologies.<\/p>\n

Purchased and renovated by Jim and Cheryl Cox\u2019 of Events by Classic in 2010, Perry House offers up a unique venue for couples looking to tie the knot in true California style. \u201cIf you\u2019re looking for a big sit down venue in a ballroom, you gotta go to a hotel. Here, you get something a little more interactive, fluid and fun.\u201d<\/p>\n

Essential to the classic Victorian home\u2019s signature atmosphere is its location; one block from historic downtown Monterey, but in the heart of what is still very much a residential neighbourhood. In order to operate in the area, however, Events by Classic must conform to rigid regulations concerning volume. \u201cWe can\u2019t go over 65 dB at the property line,\u201d says Cox.<\/p>\n

To meet their client\u2019s aesthetic and acoustic needs, StreamLife\u2019s Stuart Newhouse designed a multi-zone system incorporating 6 Tannoy CVS 4 in the venue\u2019s lounge and dressing room, 6 Tannoy CMS 501 and 2 CMS 801 Subs in Perry House\u2019s Great Room, 10 Tannoy SR 601T Rock Speakers in the garden and 5 Tannoy CVS 6 in a freestanding Carriage House. \u201cWe couldn\u2019t have anything interrupting the look of the rooms,\u201d Yeager says. \u201cTannoy\u2019s in-ceilings are very unimposing and the Rock Speakers were a natural choice for the exterior.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIn the main event space, the Great Room, they really needed to keep the sound localized,\u201d Newhouse adds. \u201cThe CMS 501s and 801s provide impact, but allowed us to be directional, instead of having speakers on sticks pointing out the back door at the neighbours.\u201d<\/p>\n

With the exception of the CMS Subs (which are driven by Tannoy\u2019s iwSA 500 Sub Amplifier), the loudspeakers in the great room, carriage house, and most exterior areas are part of a 70-Volt system powered by one Lab.gruppen C 16:4. \u201cWith the sheer number of speakers I had, and size of the coverage area, I couldn\u2019t have done otherwise without spending much more money on amplifiers. The Lab will give them years of reliable service, and the sound quality is top notch \u2013 I\u2019ve not heard anything, in that kind of amplifier, that sounds that good.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe also needed something that would run cool,\u201d Yeager adds, \u201cbecause the room the amp is in isn\u2019t environmentally controlled and temperature is an issue.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re primarily a residential integrator,\u201d he continues, \u201cand this was a hybrid residential\/commercial application. We chose Tannoy because it\u2019s become our \u2018go to\u2019 for architectural speakers and, increasingly, in in-room applications. They had the perfect products for the mixture of 70 Volt and 8-Ohm systems, with the sound quality, durability and price point we were looking for.\u201d<\/p>\n

The system\u2019s performance has been excellent, says Cox. \u201cWe don\u2019t have to blast the music for people to hear and enjoy it all over the property, but it\u2019s not obtrusive for the neighbourhood. I couldn\u2019t be more happy with the job StreamLife did, and the fact we have so many speakers running off the Lab.gruppen amp is unbelievable to me.\u201d<\/p>\n
