Z1 Nightclub Varkaus Finland

Z-one is a high class night club in the city of Varkaus, Finland. There are only 23,000 people living in the city, a local entrepreneur wanted to build something completely new and different. There weren't any good venue's for live music and this was a very good reason in his mind for him to do this. Z-one has about 1000 m2 of floorspace and can take about 800 customers.

The venue needed a sound system capable of creating quality sound and appropriate sound levels everywhere with delay speakers. The main PA-system was supposed to be bi-functional, taking care of sound for the dance floor and able to be effective as the PA for visiting bands. There was also a need for a separate system in the Suomipop-bar, a small separate area focusing on finnish dance and pop music. more

DJ Karnter Record attempt

 

DJ Karnter breaks continuous mixing world record by 13 hours

At 1pm on Saturday 1st September, DJ Karnter finally played the last tune in his marathon 101 hour world record attempt.  DJ Karnter now has to wait 6 weeks for official confirmation from The Guiness Book of World Records, but is hopeful as all criteria were fulfilled.

Speaking after he finished, the DJ said “This was the hardest thing I have ever done, I have been hallucinating and I can’t feel my fingers anymore”. He praised the support he had received from his wife Sarah, the Event sponsors, which included OHM UK Ltd and Numark and the online community that have been watching the event via webcam.

OHM UK Ltd supplied the sound system for the Event, comprising 2 x BR-12, 2 x Moon Subs, 2 x CFU-A2 amps and a CRED-2.6 controller.

“The system was amazing” says Karnter “The bass just kept pushing me on, it was incredible”

After the event, OHM took DJ Karnter out for a well earned beer along with the owner of the host venue, Matt Green of djbargains.co.uk.

The attempt was to raise money for the Nordoff-Robbins Charity which uses musical improvisation to form a therapeutic relationship with children and adults with a wide range of needs and difficulties. If you would like to contribute to this well deserving cause go to www.justgiving.com/djkarnter

We will be speaking to Karnter once he has got out of bed for more insight into his marathon set and he will be visiting the OHM stand at PLASA ’07 on Monday 10th September.

This is the second World Record achieved using OHM equipment, the first being the longest continuous live gig which stands testament to the robustness of OHM product.
