Executive Summary
Silks Darwin is an impressive and aesthetically beautiful venue tucked away in the near waterfront suburbs of Fannie Bay, catering for Darwin’s locals and visitors to the city. It is a delightful venue where members and guests can enjoy fine dining, a quiet drink on the delightful deck area or rooftop, hit the gaming room or simply relax and catch up with friends – all in elegant and fashionable surroundings.
Objectives
As a brand new benchmark venue to the Darwin area, Silks required an audio system that rivalled the site’s unequivocal elegance and taste in all rooms. Audio needed to be clearly audible for background music and
announcements, the zoned system needed to be as simple as possible for Silks’ staff to use and the visible components were also required to bring elegance and unobtrusiveness to match the venue’s overall stylish décor.
The Solution
Chris Turkmen from Signal Master, who already had vast experience with Australian Monitor products, went back to his number one audio brand to create the complete solution across six indoor and outdoor zones, as he
knew that Australian Monitor’s signature ease of use and overall value for money was going to be in play as always. Chris enlisted the assistance of Amber Technology’s sales team for recommendations and support in the
design and installation phases of the project.
Australian Monitor QFC series 6” coaxial ceiling speakers, FLEX series wall-mounted indoor/outdoor rated 30W speakers make up the visible part of the system, while the head end compromises of a DIGIPAGE 8 zone
solution with wall mounted DPRM controllers; the whole system is powered by Australian Monitor HSP series multi-channel 120W and 250W power amplifiers.
The Results
Signal Master has provided the Silks Darwin club with a beautiful and aesthetically stunning solution, incorporating the best that Australian Monitor has to offer. The outdoor entertainment areas are filled with sublime sound from the FLEX series speakers and the indoor dining, gaming and sports/bar areas have been brought to life with the sleek finish and pure audio quality of the QFC series coaxial ceiling mount speakers, which all but disappear into the background.
Visitors hear (but do not notice) the audio system, which is exactly what the venue ultimately wanted to achieve.
