“Anywhere in the club, you can see the stage now,” he concurred. Whisky a Go Go’s senior engineer Eddie Oertell, who has been working at the club on-and-off for more than 30-years, also admits that the low profile of the HDL 30-A was a big selling point. “It really has a great sound for live rock music, and I knew that, with just a minimal number of boxes per side, we’d really be able to increase the sightlines.” “The 30-A is such a great, musical, rock and roll box,” he continued.
“So, it really killed the sightlines.” Tarik, a sound engineer himself, was already familiar with the club, so he knew right away what he wanted to install-RCF’s HDL 30-A Active Two-Way Line Array Modules, a compact bi-amped system designed for medium to large venues. “The old system hung very low, and if you were upstairs, you literally lost two sides of the stage,” explained Tarik. And so, in September, RCF Vice President of Sales and Marketing, Tarik Solangi, visited the club at the behest of the Whisky a Go Go’s Ultimate Jam Night host Paulie Z, who identified the need for the system to be upgraded, not only because of the sonic properties (there were issues with the previous system being old and outdated), but also because there were some serious sightline issues. In early 2018, the owners of the Whisky a Go Go decided it was time to overhaul its sound system. With a newly installed PA, provided by Italian speaker manufacturer RCF, the Whisky a Go Go is once-again asserting itself as the world’s preeminent rock club. The Whisky a Go Go first opened its doors on January 16 th, 1964 and has famously acted as a launching pad for bands as diverse as the Doors, the Byrds, Buffalo Springfield, Steppenwolf, Van Halen, No Doubt and many, many others.
