Varia Instruments

Inside the system

New Fidelity designed the distributed system, with Vunktion responsible for installation. Two Reference 12 three-way monitors serve the listening room, supported by a custom 10-inch subwoofer and six Ref 6 satellites. A Varia Instruments RDM40 rotary mixer forms the centre of the vinyl booth. The main pair establishes the dedicated listening area, while satellites extend coverage through the tavern. Acoustic ceiling treatment and decoupled speaker mounts connect the installation with the architecture of the bar and private dining room.

Inside the system

Klipschorn AK6 loudspeakers form the main system, with a pair of Topping B200 monoblocks driving their midrange and treble. Bag End IPD12 subwoofers handle low-frequency support; LEA Connect 702 and Connect 354 amplifiers also form part of the installation. Klipsch Heresy IV speakers serve the upper level. Technics SL-1200MK7 turntables with Ortofon Concorde Club MKII cartridges feed a Swiss-built Varia Instruments RDM40 mixer. The design prioritises the dynamics of vinyl and stable stereo placement. Mogami Neglex W2534 signal cable, W3082 speaker cable and Neutrik connectors complete the wiring. Acoustic treatment is integrated into the listening space. The monitor designation is retained as “KL172 SMA RAW”; its precise revision remains unconfirmed.

Yoyaku pairs a custom Martion loudspeaker setup with room acoustics by CNTRL Acoustics. Einhorn horn speakers and matching subwoofers form the playback system, tuned by Basil Martion, while a Varia Instruments RDM20 rotary mixer sits at the DJ end of the chain. Custom acoustic panels and room treatment complete the installation.
