DJ Mag is pleased to announce that it has partnered with Pioneer PRO AUDIO for a two-year deal as its Official Audio Partner.

The new system, installed by Cosmic Electronics, features loudspeakers from the Pioneer PRO AUDIO XY Series to cover the dancefloor, as well as its very latest XPRS2 powered monitors for the venue’s custom-made DJ booth.

The recently launched XPRS2 draws on the heritage, versatility, and mobility of the original Pioneer PRO AUDIO XPRS range to deliver enhanced sound performance and audio-intelligibility in a lighter, even more competitively-priced package.

The system comprises eight XY-81 8” two-way full-range loudspeakers on the room’s ceiling to obtain optimal coverage, with a further two XY-215S subwoofers on the dancefloor. Two Quattrocanali 4804 DSP amplifiers drive this part of the system. There are also two XPRS2 12” full-range active speakers complemented by two XPRS2 115S active subwoofers mounted to the portable DJ booth.

“We chose Pioneer PRO AUDIO speakers at DJ Mag HQ because of their quality and versatility,” said Euan McGraw, live broadcast manager for DJ Mag. “We wanted to be able to move the DJ booth anywhere within the room while maintaining the best possible sound quality. This flexibility means we have the audience 360° around the DJ to create a unique experience for both DJ and crowd.

“Having the speakers split into sections enables us to have so much versatility without any compromise on audio quality. Each week we have the freedom to do something different if we choose to. The whole system enhances the audience’s experience — having good sound across the whole venue is key to creating a great atmosphere for the streams.”

“As soon as I heard the system, I knew we’d made the right choice – the sound quality is right up there with the very best – seeing all the DJ Mag team’s reactions confirmed it! Working with Pioneer PRO AUDIO  and Cosmic has been a pleasure and we will, of course, be thinking about what we can achieve together next.”

Cosmic did a great job of designing and installing a Pioneer PRO Audio system that creates an authentic club atmosphere in the space, while retaining the audio flexibility to stage events in a variety of configurations.”

The system comprises eight XY-101 10” two-way full-range loudspeakers on the room’s ceiling to obtain optimal coverage, with a further two XY-215S subwoofers on the dancefloor. Three Quattrocanali 4804 DSP amplifiers drive this part of the system.
