Australia’s Largest Pub puts its Trust in Electro-Voice Sound

The pub is extremely spacious, and welcoming at the same time. It caters for a wide variety of patrons and uses: from the sports fan visiting next door, to workers popping in for lunch or an after work drink, through to meals with friends and family, or corporate events of all shapes and sizes. Not only does The Camfield provide the suitable spaces, extensive menus and a wide selection of beverages (including in-house micro-brewery products) for a wide variety of patrons, it also features the professional audio system required for a venue this size.

The bright and tasteful bistro space caters to reservations, walk in guests and small to large functions. The combination of bar, dining and lounge style seating offers an ideal space for meeting up with friends and family or networking with clients.

Electro-Voice’s EVID-S, the latest award winning commercial installation loudspeakers, provide background music in this space. EVID-S offers impressive performance, faster and easier installation, and great value for money. Due to the expansive area and changing volume in chatter from varying numbers of patrons, EVID-S loudspeakers are reinforced with Electro-Voice EKX passive subwoofers, to extend the frequency response of the system at all volumes.

There are a number of terraces with spectacular views of either the Swan River, Optus Stadium or the Beer Garden. Perfect for cocktail events, or just for chilling out, the spaces combine both high and low seating. Industry staples, the Electro-Voice EVID ceiling speakers are used across the terraces. Designed with both the contractor and the listener in mind, EVID ceiling speakers are aesthetically pleasing and sonically proven to provide exceptional sound for patrons. Corners of buildings feature ZX5 loudspeakers that easily fill the outdoor spaces with music.

The Beer Garden is at the heart of the venue. The space has access to the Main Bar, Garden Bar and the Container Bar with roof-top seating. The space has a huge, custom-built screen surrounded by an arrangement of high and low seating, as well as beanbags. Across the outdoor spaces a full-range of high performance Electro-Voice ZX5 loudspeakers provide sound for the big screen as well as outdoor entertainment.

The ZX5 is lightweight and combines audio performance, with versatility, aesthetics and a tremendous output capability. ZX5 loudspeakers are known in the industry for their installation versatility, durability and high-spec performance. They deliver 600 W power continuously (2400 W peak), produce a maximum SPL of 132 dB and have a very smooth frequency response.

Every amplifier used to drive the loudspeakers at the Camfield comes from the Electro-Voice CPS range. Engineered in Germany, the CPS 2 and 4 channel amplifiers are industry workhorses known for their reliability and value for money. The 2 channel models drive the low-impedance ZX5 loudspeakers while the 4 channel models drive the EVID-S 100 V line loudspeakers.

Marcus Stackpole, Project Manager from Vision Cabling explains why Electro-Voice gear was chosen for the project. “Vision Cabling Systems designed the concept around the EVID-S wall-mount and the ZX5Pi weatherised range for the performance, quality and ease of installation. Backed with The Camfield being so close to the Swan River, speakers that could perform in an environment such as this were integral to deliver the project. Since the opening of the venue the support for the product from an integrator’s perspective has been outstanding and we look forward to working with Electro-Voice and Audio Source (Distributors of Electro-Voice in WA) again on upcoming projects. The performance of both the indoor and outdoor speakers selected outdoes what was proposed to the client, exceeding their expectations and delivering a higher quality of sound than previously thought with acoustic challenges throughout the venue including stadium ambience.”
