Located in the Plaça Reial (Reial square) next to La Rambla in Barcelona, Spain, the Jamboree Jazz & Dance Club is not only one of the most famous jazz clubs in Spain, but also one of the oldest in Europe.
Opened in 1960, jazz legends such as Bill Coleman, Ornette Coleman and Chet Baker (to name but a few) have performed here. Since 1993, the Jamboree – Sala1 has also been transformed into a dance club for lovers of R&B, hip hop, and dancehall with the best DJs in town.
The sound system in the 257m² cellar vault (Jamboree – Sala 1), which can accommodate 220 people, was extensively renovated at the beginning of 2024. The Spanish Voice-Acoustic distribution partner VTècnics en Ruta S.L. from Lleida was hired to design and realise a new sound system for this cosy and cave-like basement.
The self-titled ‘sound-obsessed’ project manager Francesc Güell, Co-Owner of VTècnics, has implemented his sound design with Voice-Acoustic Score-8.
A total of 2x Score-8 and 2x Paveosub-118 are used as the main PA, supported by a delay line of 2x Score-8 for even-level distribution. A combination of Score-8 and a flown Paveosub-115 is used for the sound reinforcement in each of the 3 adjoining rooms (VIP area, bar area and the passageway room).
For perfect control at live events, a total of 6x Modular-12 (bi-amped) and 2x Alea-5 as monitoring are available. For the DJ, 2x Modular-12 have been installed for precise and powerful sound reproduction. The entire system is powered by 6 Voice-Acoustic HDSP power amplifiers (28 power amplifier channels).
