Stereo Covent Garden opts for L-Acoustics

The interiors of Stereo Covent Garden were designed by London studio Afroditi

UK – Stereo Covent Garden is the creation of Experimental Group, known for luxury hospitality spaces throughout Europe and the United States. A vibrant and varied music program is offered each night, starting with a house band providing relaxed vibes, before the stage is turned over to a rotating series of resident DJs.
Stereo Covent Garden’s interiors were designed by London-based studio Afroditi, who created a moody atmosphere for Stereo’s interior, using lighting and mirrors reminiscent of the prohibition era. Considering the opulent interiors and the large area to cover, it was crucial to design a compact sound system that could provide crystal clear sound and also fit in the limited space available or distracting the customers’ attention.
Solotech UK Group was appointed to design and install the lighting and audio solution for Stereo. Solotech chose a combination of L-Acoustics A Series and X Series as the ideal audio solution for this project, to provide a versatile soundscape with optimal sound coverage for different areas including a main stage, a bar, a DJ booth and a toilet, while remaining discreet and blending into the decor.
“We wanted a clean, clear and precise soundscape,” explains Mikey Sorbello, music coordinator at Stereo Covent Garden. “We know that L-Acoustics is renowned for its impeccable clarity, depth and richness, and we were confident that this would give Stereo Covent Garden an innovative sound.”
The main stage sound system consists of two sets of six L-Acoustics A15 Wide with two KS21 subwoofers on either side of the stage. On the raised bar, 10 5XT compact coaxial speakers are evenly distributed. Eleven X8 coaxial speakers serve as delay, bolstered by four SB10i subwoofers.
The rear room is equipped with five L-Acoustics X8 and two SB10i subwoofers, while the bathrooms are equipped with 10 5XT. The DJ booth boasts two L-Acoustics X8 while the performers on stage benefit from two X12 stage monitors. The entire system is managed by eight L-Acoustics LA4X and an LA12X amplifier controller.
“This solution ensures that every note resonates throughout the space, enveloping the audience in a truly vibrant sonic experience,” says Sorbello. “The clarity and precision of our sound system truly embodies the values ​​we stand for at Stereo Covent Garden. In short, we couldn’t be more satisfied and every show promises to be an unforgettable sonic journey.”
