E11EVEN Sound by DAS Audio boosts the vibe at Brick Miami
Audio upgrade brings a new level of energy to the club
Located in the vibrant Wynwood district, Brick is one of the area’s most prominent nightlife spots, offering hip hop music by some of Miami´s top DJs and menu and bottle service to fully enjoy the South Florida vibe. To ensure the energy level is at peak performance, the venue recently upgraded its sound reinforcement capabilities with a new audio system featuring E11EVEN Sound by DAS Audio equipment.
Willy-Tech Services of Miami, FL, an A/V system installation firm, worked in close coordination with DAS Audio’s John Fiorito, who designed, managed, and commissioned the new system, along with Geovanni Ortiz, DAS certified Rational Acoustic SMAART engineer, who handled loudspeaker optimization.
Guillermo “Willy” Rodriguez of Willy-Tech Services, also a Certified Installation Manager for E11EVEN Sound by DAS Audio, commented: “Brick is an outdoor nightclub, so it was very important to deploy a sound system that could withstand the weather here in Miami. We opted for an E11EVEN Sound by DAS Audio weatherized system at the venue, which is the best sounding club system on the market, and it includes the best warranty for customers—all at very competitive pricing.”
The installation includes 12 weatherized ES-26 Passive Point Source loudspeakers, which incorporate twin 6-inch transducers, a M-34 compression driver, and includes threaded fixing points for wall mounts that can accommodate either horizontal or vertical positioning. These were augmented by eight ES-212 Passive Point Source enclosures. These 2-way long-throw loudspeaker systems include two 12-inch horn loaded low frequency transducers coupled with a M-78N neodymium compression driver.
Two loudspeaker systems from other DAS Audio series round the system out. The installation includes eight DAS Audio OVI-12 loudspeakers, and two Artec-308 2-way passive full range loudspeakers, which utilize an 8-inch low frequency transducer mated with the company’s M-26 compression driver.
“For audio processing, John [Fiorito] specified two E11EVEN Sound ESP-260 DSP’s” Rodriguez reports. “With two inputs and six outputs, this processor provides quite a bit of flexibility. It has all the necessary features that make my job easier and the install that much better.”
Power amplification included one EP-6K4 four-channel amplifier offering 1200 watts per channel at four ohms, along with two EP-10K4 four-channel high power amplifiers that offer 2100 watts per channel at four ohms—both drawn from DAS Audio’s E11EVEN Power Amplifier Series. Additionally, there was a single DAS Audio D-100 four-channel amplifier deployed for the project.
“The DAS team is terrific to work with,” Rodriguez commented. “John Fiorito is very actively involved in the company’s E11EVEN Sound projects. The company is always quick to get back to me, and that makes it much easier to keep a project on schedule.”
“All of us at Brick are extremely pleased with the new DAS sound system,” says Gregory Blanco, Club Manager at Brick. “The system sounds great and delivers all the power we were hoping for. John and his team were always actively involved in the project. Likewise, Willy Rodriguez did a great job too. We couldn’t be happier!”
