Located in the dynamic Palermo barrio in the north of Buenos Aires, the Crobar Club is the undisputed home of techno in particular, and dance music more widely, in the Argentinian capital.
With multiple mezzanines, two dancefloors and a capacity for 2300 people, the NEXO-equipped club already has a strong reputation for great sound and has hosted some of the biggest names in the global scene such as Tale of Us, Adriatique, Stephan Bodzin, Charlotte de Witte, and more.
So, would a recent planned upgrade to the sound at Crobar call for an even larger line array?
Actually no. It’s a new NEXO Alpha+ hybrid source system supplied by distributor ONLOP S.A. that’s raised the bar even further at Crobar, and it’s fair to say that the club’s owners are pleased with the results.
“At the heart of Crobar , the sonic experience has reached a new dimension thanks to the implementation of NEXO’s Alpha+ Series. It’s not simply ‘volume’; it’s an audio architecture designed for the physical demands of cutting-edge electronic music.
“Entering Crobar when Alpha+ is in full swing isn’t about listening to music; it’s about undergoing a physical experience. The moment you cross the threshold, the air changes. It’s not just loud noise; it’s a perfectly constructed wall of sound that envelops you and compels you to move.”
The full Alpha+ system at Crobar comprises two flown pairs of M210 Main boxes with 4 x B218 Bass modules and 8 x L20 Subs across the front.
“What makes these NEXO speakers a different beast is their fidelity. In EDM, detail is everything. With the Alpha+ Series, you hear the grain of the synthesizer’s distortion and the air between each snare hit. The bass isn’t a muddled ball of sound rumbling off the ceiling; it’s a sharp, defined, and powerful punch that you feel directly in your chest.”
About NEXO Alpha+
Three decades on and original NEXO Alpha systems are still thrilling live music audiences and clubbers around the world with their characteristic power and presence. Now NEXO has drawn on the spirit of that ‘90s classic to create Alpha+, an ultra-powerful, long-throw, ‘three-box’ FOH system that combines the benefits of line source coupling with the easy deployment typical of point source speakers.
Stacked on a mid-sized festival stage, installed in a club or deployed in a theatre where a line array can’t be flown, it’s all Alpha, reimagined for the modern age.
