Martin LC Series Adds to the XXX Factor at Miami Gentlemens Club

Tuesday, March 18, 2008 || Martin Professional

Located in Hallandale Beach, Florida in North Miami, is a unique club with a unique flair. Scarletts Cabaret is a club unlike any other. What makes it stand apart from the other Miami-based gentlemens clubs is its production equipment, used to add entertainment value to each of its shows.

Part gentlemens club, part nightclub

While it may be called a gentlemens club by most, many women would disagree. The girls, girls, girls atmosphere that most clubs in its realm possess is lost on Scarletts. In fact, many of Scarletts patrons are women who accompany their boyfriends and husbands to the nightspot.

This openness has much to do with a rich entertainment factor.

Scarletts is a one-of-a-kind club, its a hybrid, said Michael Meacham, Lighting Designer and Programmer at idesign. Its part gentlemens club and part nightclub.

Helping to create this unique atmosphere is a long list of Martin gear that includes MAC 250 Kryptons, MX-10, MX-4 and Mania SCX600 scanners, and Wizard Extremes all brought to life by a Magnum Club Smoke system. Lighting control is from a Martin LightJockey.

LC Series

Adding a distinctively decorative look to the club is a wall of Martin LC Series LED panels that work against mirrored pillars and chrome poles to emit a brightness that seems to increase in intensity and range throughout the venue.

The LC Series is a semi-transparent and modular system of LED panels which is perfect for a venue like Scarletts. Designed for stage shows, TV studios and commercial applications, LC Series is able to display video and images and is stunning to look at.

Its brightness is remarkable and reliable, said Michael, who had the panels installed in the skybox at the back of the club.

One truly innovative aspect of the LC Series is that while it may seem a spectacular product in its dynamism, it has a simple assembly process and the ability to be stacked as high as 46 ft high and as wide as necessary.

It took no longer than an afternoon to install and set up, said Michael. Its an excellent product with great display and ease of use.

The LC units are built to withstand various temperaments and have been used in the touring market. With no external power supplies or drivers, each unit comes with everything built in, which ultimately reduces costs and set-up time.

Maxedia PRO

Paired with Martins Maxedia PRO media server, the possibilities are endless.

The Maxedia media server is a great companion, continued Michael. We use everything from custom content to live video feeds and its own stock content. With Maxedia, there are so many ways to change a single image from its original look.

Incredibly versatile, this pairing has increased Scarletts visual appeal by volumes and has created an even more energetic place to visit.
