This past summer, EMELEC VIASCOM, through SPL Audio Sistemas, was responsible for providing the material for the installation of cables in one of the most prestigious nightclubs in Marbella.
This is the Momento club, one of the big clubs that bet on quality electronics in our country. The Momento club bets on the quality of both the artists it invites and the quality of its spaces, sound and lighting. In this article we will talk about the importance of a good wiring in discotheques, if what you want is to stand out and leave only good impressions on both clients and artists.
Artists such as Andrea Oliva, Apollonia, Adriatique, Chelina Manuhutu, Johannes Brecht, Sebastian Gamboa, Âme or Benny Benassi, among others, have already passed through the booth of this club, which shows that the "fine ears" are betting on the level of sound provided by Momento.
The company SPL Audio Sistemas, which was in charge of the sound and lighting installation, has managed to make the room sound like "one of the big ones" and make it look like one. As a curious fact, Momento has more than 700 meters of LED lighting, an elegant waterfall on one of the walls of its big terrace and an incredible decoration and gardening. In this place, every last detail is taken care of.
It also has two musical areas, the terrace and the club restaurant, and we can say that both areas take care of the musical selection.
BECAUSE IT IS NECESSARY A CORRECT WIRING IN DISCOTHEQUES
The function of a cable is to carry a signal between two components, protecting it from any external interference that could alter it, a vital purpose if we are talking about sound and lighting in a discotheque, since its success depends largely on these factors.
It is essential to be able to count on top quality cables such as those offered by EMELEC VÍASCOM in order to obtain good cabling in discotheques. In the case of the Club Momento, the following models have been used
Q3-1110: Digital Audio and DMX cable made of 0.35 mm² copper OFC.
Q2-580N and Q2-580: 0.50 mm² section copper LED cables.
Q15-225N: Speaker cable with two 2.50 mm² cross section OFC copper conductors.
Q5140: Speakerphone cable with two 4.00 mm² cross section OFC copper conductors.
CHARACTERISTICS OF A GOOD WIRING IN DISCOTHEQUES
It must be assumed that virtually all signals pass through a cable at some point. No matter how good the equipment is, if the cable that connects it is not good, problems can occur. It is in the cable where noises can be coupled or generate distortions of the signal so it is very important to use good cables for the connection of devices. This alteration factor becomes more evident if we talk about long runs of cables like the ones used in a club of the magnitude of Moment.
Several factors are taken into account to achieve transparency:
Composition of the cable: there are cables of different materials (aluminium, copper, silver, fibre...) each material, as well as its diameter will determine the quantity and quality of the information that is transmitted (at Momento we install copper cables and with high quality sheaths).
Composition of the connectors: the composition of the connectors must be taken into account, as well as the quality of their soldering, since these are the "end doors" of data transmission.
Shielding: protects the transmitted data by absorbing the electronic signals that are commonly known as noise, so that these signals do not pass through the cable and do not distort the data.
TIPS TO GET THE RIGHT WIRING IN DISCOTHEQUES
Audio Cables: Improve your sound system
Cables should use OFC (oxygen-free copper) type conductors to ensure that losses are minimal, and quality connectors to ensure optimum contact. Shielding to magnetic and radio frequency fields is also important in order to transmit the signal in its pure state, as has been achieved in the Moment club by installing the DMX audio cables.
Speaker Cables: High Power without disturbance
The combination of the best materials with a good production process gives the speaker cables a high protection against disturbances that can lead to the signal they carry. The use of OFC-free copper and perfect insulation allows the signal to be transmitted throughout its length with the minimum possible disturbance. The use of a very small wire and quality PVC makes the cable very attractive to touch and to use in a wide range of applications.
The right lighting also depends on the LED cables
SPL Audio Sistemas, experts in the field of sound, equipment and audio systems, with more than 20 years of experience and the ability to provide the best sound installation service on the Costa del Sol, advises us on some of the steps that followed, in the installation of wiring the MOMENTO discotheque.
"The first thing you must take into account is the size and physical structure of the club, it is important to consider what space is intended for the dance floor, liquor bar, bathrooms among others. Essentially, the height of the venue has a great influence on the purchase of the lights"
Effects
With robotic lights, LED pairs and a variety of well-configured LED equipment, complete shows of great magnitude can be created. The technology that has made this possible is the DMX (Digital MultipleX) protocol that allows the lighting equipment to communicate with an analog controller or through software, where the only limit is creativity. For this purpose, at Club Momento we have decided to install the EMELEC VÍASCOM Q2-580N and Q2-580 LED cable models and the Q3-1110 DMX cable, to achieve an incomparable lighting effect in accordance with the level of demand of both customers and artists.
The LED PAR: equipment that can never be missing
These small spotlights have been reinvented over time and are still present in any quality nightclub wiring system. Thanks to their design, they are ideal for creating colourful environments on walls, ceilings or canvases, and this versatility makes them essential in any nightclub lighting system.
In short, the options for good wiring in discotheques are diverse. Having said that, if you are looking to achieve the maximum quality of sound and lighting as SPL Audio Sistemas has achieved in the Momento discotheque, it is essential to have quality cables, like the ones you can find in EMELEC VÍASCOM, because when you are looking for absolute sound and excellence in lighting everything matters.
