Both premises have been equipped with sound systems KV2 ( according to the company the first KV2 systems to be installed in clubs in Poland) designed and installed by Wise Clubs and supplied by the Polish KV2 distributor, Arcade Audio.

The P23 has a post-industrial feel with natural brick walls, steel beams and high ceilings.

The biggest names in techno and electronic music have performed at the P23 in recent years..

This location has recently upgraded its sound system with a KV2 solution based on the full-range wide dispersion system SL412, plus a couple of subwoofers SL2.15 and two low-frequency VHD2.21 by side. Four Esd 12 and two Esd 15 act as frontfill and balcony delays.

For this space, Wise opted for the classic ES system of KV2, composed of two ES1.0 medium/high speakers, complemented by four individual subwoofers of 18 es1.8 inches, with power and control supplied by two EPAK2500/R units.

Michal Piwowar, co-owner and director of both rooms, explains that for the P23 they were looking for a system that would provide high-quality sound and uniform coverage throughout the enclosure., which admits that it is not an easy task due to its unusual shape. They also wanted something that would fit with the club's austere aesthetic and that, However, minimize acoustic treatment work.

“Probamos muchos sistemas y realizamos conciertos y eventos con diferentes configuraciones de alquiler, but it was the KV2 system that sounded exceptional. Offers the full spectrum of sound: attacks in the middle, masajea el extremo inferior y penetra en los agudos”.

As for the CEL club, Piwowar explains that the requirements were slightly different., ya que se trata de un local puro techno/electro underground. “Nuestros clientes exigen mucho, so we needed an efficient and maintenance-free system to cover the long, narrow space that is our main dance floor.. Por eso volvimos a optar por KV”.
