Italian discotheque chain relies on DYNACORD alpha concept systems After its success in the Area Venezia, a DYNACORD alpha concept system is setting the tone in the top Tuscan club Canniccia Versilia

Straubing, December 2008 Last summer, Italian star DJ Joe T Vannelli took over a second discotheque: the Canniccia Versilia in the Tuscan resort of Marina di Pietrasanta. For the Canniccia Versilia, he opted for the same formula that worked so successfully in his first club, the Area Venezia in Venice. While architect Massimo Cadamuro concerned himself with the refashioning of the interiors, installation engineer Dario Juka selected and assembled the requisite equipment; Juka’s first decision was to replace the existing audio system with an alpha concept system from DYNACORD—hardly a surprising decision given that the world-renowned sound system has played a considerable part in the success of the Area Venezia. The club’s proprietor is of the same opinion: “The DYNACORD alpha concept system offers the highest quality imaginable,” says Vannelli. “For my money, it’s the best system in the world.”

The alpha concept system from DYNACORD is specially designed for fixed installation in discotheques. Loudspeaker boxes drawn from the various DYNACORD series (including the alpha, Plone and VariLine series) driven by DYNACORD CL and LX power amplifiers combine to form a sound system in which all the components are perfectly attuned to one another, providing discotheque sound reinforcement that is both powerful and precise. For this reason, there was never any question of Dario Juka opting for any other solution in the fully renovated and refitted club: “Our watchwords are ‘state-of-the-art in every respect’,” says Juka, explaining: “Since we engage as resident and guest DJs only the very best in their fields, we cannot and will not tolerate any compromises. All the experts—whether DJs or music producers—are convinced of the qualities of this system.”

About the Canniccia Versilia
After opening in mid June, the Canniccia Versilia enjoyed a successful summer season with stars like Boosta and Audiofly as special guests. The line-up for the winter season, too, which began in mid October, is studded with big name DJs like Radio Slave, Popof, and Lutzerkirchen. Joe T Vannelli’s formula certainly seems to be working: “Our idea is to create a discotheque network covering the most interesting areas of the country from the point of view of tourism and culture—always remaining faithful to our original concept and identity.” In addition to audio equipment of the highest quality, Vannelli sets great store by visual effects, such as video consoles and multicolour laser systems.
