ZOUK NIGHTCLUB - Singapore - 2005/2006

Zouk located at 17 Jiak Kim Street in Singapore is the brainchild of night club entrepreneur Lincoln Cheng, built in an ancient blessed warehouse that stands next to the Singapore River. Zouk has been an icon in Asia’s music industry for the past 15 years. This past October the club closed for a one month major refit. Everything was gutted from the space and rebuilt. New decor, lighting & sound was installed. After the refit Zouk reopened to celebrate its 15th year anniversary. Owner and CEO Lincoln Cheng spent one year searching for a new sound system that would be correct for his club & patrons with that in mind he auditioned many out of the box popular sound systems on the market today but after hearing them all he chose to use GSA. more >

LOVE - 8th Street New York, New York - 2004
Sound is at the core of every memorable nightclub that ever was. We can still feel Studio 54 and Paradise Garage in our bones. In fact, that was the inspiration for our new project, Love, in NYC.
It all started with the owner’s desire to give back to NYC something he feels the city once had and now has lost: a groove. A fully analog system with amplified speaker stacks on the floor and flown tweeter arrays, combined with a motorized DJ console and custom SME tone arms on the turntables, are a few of the elements that make up the system that will deliver that groove that
the world-class DJs are going to be sending to the NYC crowds night after night at Love. more >

Garage Underground - Tampa, FL - 2000
The Garage Nightclub in Tampa, Florida is GSA’s most recent nightclub installation. This sound system is unique to GSA’s previous installs in that their new speakers, console and electronics premiered here. The system consists of a newly designed GSA Speaker Series; including Coax Full Range, Sub Bass and Hi Output Tweeter Arrays.

Garage’s main room is 5538 square feet containing a 3198 square foot dance floor. Sixteen active Full Range Coax Line Arrays hang in pairs around the perimeter of the dance floor, which are balanced by four GSA V-8 Sub Bass speakers and 4 GSA Tweeter Arrays. The unique design of the speaker box combined with the tactical placement of coaxial drivers create a clean and well-defined sound that travels through the dance floor with maximum clarity and power.

The new GSA V-8 sub bass speakers contain eight 18” drivers that are strategically placed to push the deep bass sounds through the air, floor and bones of the people dancing within the boundaries of the dance floor; allowing people to actually feel the music. The combination of the clarity of the “hi’s & mid’s” with the powerful throb of the sub bass creates an element of sound that can be enjoyed as long and loud as desired. Every tone is recognized by your ears and thus does not create the strain that normally occurs when trying to differentiate between tonalities. It was for this very reason that Garage owner, Gary Allen, chose GSA to design and build his new sound system; but not before flying to New York to hear the speakers for himself. more >

Ministry of Sound - London, England - 1996 Capacity: 3,500
GSA designed and installed the entire system in this renowned night club in 1992 and upgraded it in '96. The system is widely regarded as being the world-wide benchmark by which all other night clubs are measured. Sound is provided by six huge custom-designed GSA speaker stacks capable of producing sound up to 160 decibels (a jet engine produces 140 decibels at a distance of 100 feet).

Sound and Video Contractor said in April, 1997: "London's world renowned night club, Ministry of Sound, is certainly no exception in the trendsetter department. The often emulated super club recently underwent a major overhaul of its main room furthering Ministry's worldwide status as a benchmark in the entertainment industry." Nodd McDonagh, General Manager of Ministry of Sound, begins, "When we decided to move forward with the new project it was apparent that our system was wrapped in such cloaks of mystery it was difficult for us to determine what was legend and what was fact. Between our technical audio team and GSA, the firm that had designed and installed the original system, we dramatically improved the overall audio quality and reliability of the system." more >
