Dubai, January 2023 - In Gate Village 5, there is a new, opulent restaurant called Babylon that at night, transforms into a vibrant nightclub. A fine dining meal with international influences and theatrically staged entertainment are the backdrop to all of this. This new DIFC restaurant is evidently influenced by Babylon, promising to capture the spirit of this great wonder of the ancient world. Addmind Hospitality, which also runs CLAP, Sucre, Iris, Bar du Port, and the megaclub White Dubai, is the company that founded Babylon.
To honor this place of wonder the venue opened with Adamson System’s Loudspeakers and Cyclops Lighting fixtures, which are distributed by Procom Middle East.
Various products from Adamson Systems were integrated to achieve the perfect immersive sound experience with the main system comprising primarily the IS7PX a passive 2-way, full range point source cabinet from the IS-series which have been installed throughout the venue, together with the IS7P and the IS10P. The IS10P is a 2-way, full range point source cabinet that provides equal tonal balance when moving outside of the intended coverage pattern. The IS119 was deployed as well, it is the larger subwoofer in the IS-series and it is mounted in an ultra-efficient front-loaded enclosure, designed to reproduce clean, musical low-frequency information.
Along with the IS-series, additional subs and point sources from the Point-series and the Point Concentric-series have been deployed as reinforcement in the venue. The Point 8Pi and 8P are the smallest members of the Point series family and are right at home with speech systems or moderate level playback systems, but still powerful enough to take on the live staged entertainment of Babylon. Furthermore the PC5i, PC10i, PC12i, and PC8i of the Adamson Point Concentric series were deployed, ensuring a warm, deep sound.
All artist monitoring was achieved by deploying the M12 for stage monitors of the M-series. The incredibly lightweight Adamson M12 monitor delivers everything needed in a low profile stage monitor: fantastic gain before feedback, precise pattern control and high output with extremely low distortion.
As for the lighting, to create the ultimate theatrical experience, more than 250 Boomer 6 LED RGB were deployed. The front ring is pixel controlled with the built- in macros making this compact zoom PAR the ideal fixture for Babylon. The Sparkly 600 and 800 moving heads were selected, because of the full control on the light beam and coverage.
Known in the professional audio sector as top-of-the-line sound systems, Adamson’s leading-edge loudspeakers and Cyclops Lighting fixtures were the perfect fit to create the ultimate sound and lighting experience for Babylon.
