The Best sound system of all time.

Re: The Best sound system of all time.

The one at Home in London was pretty special, you could feel the vibrations going through your body. Fabric always made a big deal of theirs, but I never walked away from there thinking wow that system was amazing.

Never made it to home... it was on Leicester Square?

JD on twilo's system

"The sound system was to this day the best I have ever heard anywhere on the planet, and the lighting was in total sync with what we were playing and the mood and atmosphere was electric."

Check out Josh Wink's set from Gare in Porto, which uses the same sound system as DC10

Gare Porto:

When it comes to improving the listening experience in a tunnel Void Acoustics had some bright bright ideas for Porto's new club GARE PORTO - owned by the DJ Duo Freshkitos.


GARE features an all-Void system, designed to deliver an exciting, high impact sound throughout the club. The club's main room occupies a 35-metre tunnel, with a ceiling height of 10 metres and just 6 metres wide, with the system incorporating Void's signature design, the triple-horn Air Motion speakers, as well as the Stasys 8 dual 18" horn loaded enclosures. Friday nights alternate between the fast paced sounds of Drum'n'bass and House Music while Saturdays are devoted to Techno Music.


Considered one of the best clubs in Europe and now a favourite of so many artists in many different genres, Gare is the club in Porto where you go for the music and get to experience the alternative culture of the underground scene.





The Sound System:


When it comes to improving the listening experience in a tunnel, Portuguese installer Raul Ribeiro of T2 Produção e Eventos and Void Acoustics had some bright bright ideas for Porto's new club, GARE Club - owned by DJs Freshkitos! GARE Club features an all-Void system, designed to deliver an exciting, high impact sound throughout the club. The club's main room occupies a 35-metre tunnel, with a ceiling height of 10 metres and just 6 metres wide, with the system incorporating Void's signature design, the triple-horn Air Motion speakers, as well as the Stasys 8 dual 18" horn loaded enclosures.


the main room is equipped with 2 x Air Motions, facing the audience, complemented by 3 x Stasys 8s. 2 further Air Motions provide an extra degree of intelligibility at the back, creating a virtual "square" of sound. Extra sub reinforcement is from a fourth Stasys 8 cabinet. The all-Void installation includes 2 of the compact Impulse 4ts for the bar area, which benefits from some sub leakage from the main dance floor area. The VIP room and wine bar are equipped with 2 x B12s and 2 x VSUBs, mimicking the main system set-up but with a lower SPL. A pair of Mycro 8s give the club's trendy entrance lounge a comfortable ambience, with comprehensive intelligibility, bringing guests into the Void sound field from the moment they enter the club. The DJ Booth was built around 2 x Air Tens and 1 x VSUB, in line with the many live acts performing at the Club, providing a powerful sound in a small package. Amplification throughout the installation is from Void's range of Kryo Dual power amps, and the system includes the Livedrive and Digidrive loudspeaker management systems.

Very cool.. the acoustics at that place must be pretty special

Re: The Best sound system of all time.

TWILO - Everything was tight and clear and you could be anywhere on the dance floor and it sounded amazing. The acoustics were amazing in that place. I have very fond memories of sasha and diggers 3rd anniversary party we got there at midnight and didn't leave until 1:30 in the afternoon it was in 2000 when things started to get deep and damn did S&D work that system that night. But probably my fav night was diggers Solo for the 4th anniversary party when sasha was still sidelines with his ear issue. That night and every month during that time is when diggers EXPLODED!!!!! I get choked up when i think of those days. damn wish they had camera phones like they do now back then..

Re: The Best sound system of all time.

Fire night was my birthday night. March 31st 2001.

Yes Diggers 4th anniversary. After we got the OK and went back in Diggers WENT OFF, HOLY Crap My brain was melted by the time we leff and whenever i went to Twilo we stayed till the very end. It was a good 2 1/2 hour trip each way and we went usually 2 times a month but on the last friday almost Every month for 3 years. Used to drive my Maryland to NYC then usually an afterhours with some locals then the drive back to Maryland sometime sunday evening or night.

One of the best. Plus their top guy checks re-tune and adjusts it each summer.

Re: The Best sound system of all time.

Off to Stereo [Montreal] next weekend .. Diggers was raving about the club and sound system when he got back last, told me it was the nearest to being back at Twilo .. so had to be done

I think these days it's much of a muchness. Home, Cream, Fabric, Space, Amneisia, all had great sound systems. I think if I said one was better, it would more than likely be based on which one I had the best night at. If I was having a great night, I wouldn't be spending my time analysing the soundsystem.
