Tube UK installs D&B sound system at Gorilla in Manchester

Manchester based audio specialist Tube UK Limited has installed a new D&B sound system with Midas and Yamaha control into the 800 capacity site comprising bar, lounge and live music venue Gorilla.

Tube UK's team, led by Melvyn Coote, designed and installed two separate sound systems, one in the live music room and the other in the main bar and lounge area. In both cases they were replacing previous sound set ups to a new brief from owners, the TROF Group. Gorilla’s live programming manager is Ade Dovey.

In the main live music room, a Midas Pro2 was chosen for FOH together with a Yamaha for monitors, with two dead-hung arrays of D&B Q1 speakers with Q10 downfill per side, all powered by D12 amplifiers. Underneath the stage are four D&B Y-Sub and two V-Sub bass units, with cardioid dispersion that reduce the amount of sub frequencies pushed out to the solid back wall. 8 x D&B M4s and a Q-Sub for drum fill are all running off D12 amplifiers.

D&B's E8 elements were chosen for the bar area with 9 x E8s and two E15 subs in the main bar area, plus 3 x E8s and two E12 subs for the overflow bar spaces. Tube UK also installed three E6s for the toilets. All areas are run off three D&B D20 amps with a Cloud controller system. Tube kitted out the DJ booths in both rooms with identical set ups comprising a Pioneer DJM 900 Nexus mixer, Pioneer CDJ 2000 Nexus multi players and Pioneer PLX 1000 turntables.

Working alongside Melvyn Coote on the Tube UK team were Jamie Sharman, Mike Seddon, John Redfern and Adam Taylor.
