On New Year’s Eve the famous Moscow entertainment complex Samolyot presented a beautiful gift to its guests when a new, multipurpose hall — designed for live concerts, corporate and children’s shows, sports programmes and other presentations was unveiled.

However, the main business activity of this large entertainment facility will be bowling. The building also houses a motor racing circuit, multiple bars, a restaurant, a karaoke club, and other features. Despite its size, Samolyot never had a versatile concert area with its own infrastructure, capable of hosting large shows.

The project for renovating the third floor for this purpose was accomplished in just four weeks. The new hall now hosts famous Russian musicians and bands.

A&T Trade Company designed and assembled the audio system and carried out the complete schedule of works — from acoustic surveys and solution provision to supply of equipment, assembly and final commissioning of the hall. A&T Trade experts amended, on their own initiative, the architectural project to enhance the hall’s initial zoning layout and acoustics (aided by computer simulation).

The new hall is equipped throughout with Martin Audio Blackline loudspeakers (and Blackline F12 stage monitors), Crown CTs amplifiers, Tascam DM24 digital mixer — and industry-reference processing equipment.
