Consistent Quality Sound at Puma Social Club with VERIS
A new system was recently installed for the Puma Social Club in Indiranagar, Bangalore, operated by the
world leading sports brand of the same name. India's third most populous city, Bangalore is the capital city
of the Indian state of Karnataka, located on the Deccan Plateau in the southeastern part of Karnataka.
The Puma Social Club, located above the Puma store on Indiranagar’s busiest street, provides the
community with a unique venue incorporating restaurants, bars and artistic space for the country’s most
prolific DJs and artists. With indoor and outdoor spaces, the multi-story club’s open areas take full
advantage of the region’s climate to create an atmospheric night environment.
For the main dance and bar areas, a combination of VERIS 1596, 2-way 15-inch and VERIS 8, 2-way 8-inch
loudspeakers, and S-218S dual 18-inch subs were chosen. VERIS provides a consistent sound quality
throughout the venue, while delivering the significantly different sound levels required for dance floor and
bar. The well-defined dispersion patterns provided by the VERIS were also a great benefit in controlling
sound for the various zones, with minimum spill to adjacent areas.
New Loudspeaker Test Facility at Community
In
keeping with its commitment to accurate and complete loudspeaker technical data, Community has opened
a new, state-of-the-art indoor test facility.
With its indoor location, the new facility makes it possible to control temperature and humidity. It eliminates
wind problems and minimizes interference from outside noise sources. This allows Community engineers to
accurately measure complex loudspeaker data and to gather polar data in precise 1-degree resolution.
Measurements are automated with an ELF robotic rotator system controlled by EASERA™ software.
Gwynedd-Mercy Academy Upgrades Multi-Purpose Gym
Gwynedd-Mercy Academy, a Roman Catholic elementary (K-8) school located in Spring House,
Pennsylvania, has a large, well-designed gymnasium to support its physical education classes and sports
events, drama and musical performances, worship services and other school activities.
The school’s activities had outgrown the capabilities of the system and its coverage and sound quality were
poor. To compensate, users would turn up the volume causing feedback and intensifying reverberation.
Because of these issues, the school often rented a sound system. The scheduling and cost of these rentals
complicated event planning.
In mid-2013, a new sound system was designed for the gym using Community VERIS2 and R-Series
loudspeakers. The system uses two rows of R.5 loudspeakers distributed over the bleachers and the gym
floor and a pair of V2-35 three-way loudspeakers above the stage opening for front fill. A V2-215S
subwoofer can be quickly connected to the system for musical events. A Community dSPEC processor was
added for system equalization and configuration.
Sal Scinto, Music Teacher at Gwynedd-Mercy Academy provides a quick overview of the sound system
