THE LOFT Vienna, Austria
from MONDO-DR 32.6
IN BRIEF
The Loft takes Alcons V-Series Pro-Ribbon speakers to new heights
The Loft is a nightclub in the Austrian capital Vienna with a diverse program of events, from pop parties to Latino nights, poetry slams to techno nights and everything in between. The club prides itself on delivering the best sound, so a recent major upgrade has seen Alcons pro-ribbon speakers chosen to deliver the best quality mid-highs. For its tenth anniversary, its owners celebrated by investing in new sound systems for two of its three floors. For the main floor, sound partner Pro Performance built a bespoke horizontal bass array of 24 by 15-inch speakers. Four VR12/90 12-inch mid-size versatile monitors were added to deliver the purest, most powerful mid-high frequencies. In the smaller ‘Wohnzimmer’ (pictured), a compact 6 by 15-inch bass array was installed, together with two more VR12/90s. “We have fitted out a number of locations in Vienna with Alcons pro-ribbon speakers,” says Pro Performance proprietor Wolfgang Sauter. “When The Loft approached us about the system upgrade, we did a speaker shootout with them and were not surprised when Alcons came out on top. The VR series was their clear choice.” Club owner Mike Tscholl added: “When we listened to the different speakers (in the shootout), Alcons Audio was the obvious choice. The VR12s are perfect as top speakers and the VR5s are very popular with both live musicians and DJs.”
