The
world will be watching Zero Gravity this winter. In the final months of
2015, Dubai’s most talked about beach club, bar and restaurant will not
only reveal its 2,000sqm expansion, including a 39m glass-fronted
infinity swimming pool, but an 800sqft multi-use stage, along with a
permanent installation of the highest quality audio/visual equipment
available to purchase across the globe.
The
state-of-the-art L-Acoustics K2 and Arch Wide system will put the
clarity and depth of sound of all Zero Gravity events at recording
studio quality. The internationally-lauded system has been used to
transform audience experiences at the Olympic Games, Coachella Festival
and Eurovision Song Contest, but will be the first of its kind to be
permanently installed at any venue in the MENA region.
In addition to the K2, Zero Gravity has selected Clay Paky lighting, Kvant lasers, Universal Effects
and much more, to revolutionise the visual experience of both its large
and smaller scale events from November – from DXBeach festival right
through to the intimate live music of Drift, every Saturday.
It is also working hand-in-hand with global noise and vibration
consultancy Acoustic Logic, to ensure this ultimate audio experience
will also produce minimum disturbance. For example, there will be more
than 100 sound boxes covering the new outdoor space, to assist the
control of sound.
With
anything from two to five international artists performing at Zero
Gravity per week (the full winter line-up of events is detailed
overleaf) – this world-class audio/visual overhaul could not have come
at a more impactful time. “Our events will look, sound and feel like
something most people have never, ever, experienced,” explains Peter
Skudutis, General Manager at Zero Gravity since its inception.
“We
have spent at least the last six months researching the technology
available and our competitors, on a global level. We went to who we
believe are the five leading audio suppliers in the world and gave them
the same brief – ‘get us the best’. And I can say with great confidence –
this is the best.”
“L-Acoustics
has a standard two-year waiting list for the K2. Zero Gravity was
fast-tracked through the process, and that’s because every party
involved in this set-up is aware of just how spectacular, and unique, it
will be. We haven’t forgotten about a single square metre of the
place.”
Peter
Owen, Sales Manager at L-Acoustics says: “The sound design and
installation done by Delta Solutions for Zero Gravity is nothing short
of unique. It will be one of the first locations globally to feature
speakers from our brand-new X Series, coupled with our award-winning K2
and Arcs boxes. Patrons of Zero Gravity will easily benefit from the
best sound on the market, and I am proud to have been a part of this
flagship project.”
