The room
A former bank in downtown Dallas houses Shyboy HiFi, where album listening and DJ-led nights share a programme directed by JT Donaldson. The Main Room, booth and dedicated Blue Room each have their own equipment identity.
OJAS and NNNN systems give audio enthusiasts particular reasons to explore the space. The contrast between rooms lets the musical programme meet different approaches to playback within one venue.

Browse this venue’s gear ↗The Main Room combines OJAS × NNNN ON2 and NNNN Gage 125 loudspeakers with McIntosh C55 control electronics, Powersoft Unica amplification and Rupert Neve Designs and Manley processing. The signal-processing equipment includes Neve MBT, P2MB and RMP-D8 units and a Manley Massive Passive stereo valve equalizer.
The booth offers ARS 9900BW, 5000 and 3500LE equipment alongside an AlphaTheta euphonia mixer, Technics SL-1200G-S decks and Pioneer CDJ-3000 players. An Isonoe five-band equalizer, Benchmark DAC3 HGC and NNNN monitoring broaden its control and playback options.
The Blue Room follows a separate OJAS chain: TAD loudspeakers, a Super-sub, Phonoplayer 1200G, April phono stage and April PSET 300B amplification. The contrast between the extensively processed Main Room and the dedicated valve-amplified Blue Room is a defining feature of the installation.
