Bozak

Inside the system

Tempo assigns different systems to its rooms. The Living area pairs Altec Model 15 speakers with McIntosh MC2205 amplification; the Bar combines Tannoy FSM II speakers with two Accuphase M100 monoblocks. The listening room uses Altec Valencia 846B speakers and a McIntosh MC2205. The concert room has a separate PA comprising two L-Acoustics 112P speakers and two 18-inch DAS subwoofers. A Bozak AR-4 rotary is also part of the inventory. The distinction between the vintage listening systems and live-performance PA is fundamental to the venue’s layout.

Inside the system

Two turntables and a Bozak mixer form the vinyl front end, with valve amplification also associated with the installation. Exact component models are unspecified. The combination centres the system on hands-on record selection and a separate amplification stage.

Inside the system

Shibuya Hi-Fi assigns a different system to each of its three rooms. The dedicated HiFi room pairs Klipschorns with a Luxman L-505uXii. The bar combines JBL “Heritage 100s,” as described by the venue, with Naim NAC72 and NAP140 electronics. The lounge uses bespoke Cathode Bias / Café Sound loudspeakers with 15-cell horns and dual 15-inch woofers. Technics SL-1200 MK2 decks and a Bozak AR4 rotary also form part of the project. The room-by-room distinctions matter: the custom lounge system is separate from the Klipsch and JBL installations.
