Situated on the second floor of Kansas City Live! within the Power & Light District, Mosaic recently re-opened having undergone an extension and a complete interior renovation. The new club now boasts a sound system featuring 1 SOUND loudspeakers and Powersoft amplification, atmospheric LED lighting with a wide selection of CHAUVET Professional theatrical lighting units, and a hi-res LED wall supplied and installed by The LED Studio. Taking charge of the project from the production perspective was Jason Bradley, Director of Production at Kansas City Live!. “We gave the club a full remodel, even changing the routing in and out of the room, and we leaned heavily into the production to make it into something that you wouldn’t normally see in the Midwest,” said Bradley. The Kansas City Power & Light District is a dining, shopping and entertainment district in Downtown Kansas City developed by The Cordish Companies, and opened in 2008. During the early years of The Cordish Companies’ development of entertainment districts and facilities in Baltimore and further afield, they met Peter Bonavota, owner of Definitive Pro Sound in New Jersey. As a long-time connection, Bonavota was approached to specify the new sound system for Mosaic, and he had no hesitation in choosing 1 SOUND. “I immediately looked to 1 SOUND because of the compact design, incredible output, aesthetics and that amazing clarity, with the punch right where it needs to be for electronic music,” said Bonavota. “The design and technology of all the 1 SOUND speakers is impressive, and the shape and size of the room called for a point source box – and the pattern control, coverage and range of the 1 SOUND Contour CT212 rival and line array in a single box. Not only that, the look of these speakers also blows away line arrays.”
