Nightclub Sound Systems

High-output, low-fatigue systems for rooms that run six nights a week.

Overview

A nightclub system has to deliver 105 dB plus at the back of the room without making the bar staff miserable, and it has to survive a resident DJ who never turns it down. We build used systems around line array tops, grouped subwoofers and a processor that protects the drivers.

Budget guide: A typical 400-capacity room lands between 18,000 and 35,000 USD for used main PA, subs, processing and amplification, before freight and installation.

What makes this room hard

  • Low end that carries to the back of the room without booming at the bar
  • Driver protection when DJs run the system into the limiters every night
  • Noise spill into neighbouring buildings and residential floors
  • Service access without closing the venue
