3. FOR EVERY GUEST
Creating A Premium Experience
HARMAN has dedicated more than 60 years to acoustic design, tuning and signal processing.
Our best-in-class AV systems have been successfully implemented to provide optimal sound
at large concerts and festivals, performance venues and professional sporting events. These
high-impact systems are now must-have solutions for nightclubs, bars and lounges. By
streamlining the deployment of our market-leading house brands, HARMAN delivers scalable
solutions that meet specific needs as businesses evolve and grow.

4. Evaluate the space before you
begin designing sound and
lighting systems:
5 DIMENSION OF SPACE
5 CONSTRUCTION MATERIALS
5 ROOM ACOUSTICS
5 NOISE RESTRICTIONS
5 ACTIVITIES TAKING PLACE
A well-designed system
provides even coverage and
clear sound to all listeners.
JBL by HARMAN speakers are
precisely designed to replicate
music and speech, from portable
PA systems to installed nightclub
series solutions. With more than
500 different JBL loudspeaker
models, we strive to exceed
acoustic, architectural and
aesthetic expectations.
Providing proper amplification to
speakers is essential to sound
quality and the equipment’s
longevity. Crown by HARMAN
manufactures amplifiers that
satisfy all speaker power and
channel requirements while
reducing energy intake. Industry
professionals demand Crown
amplifiers due to their proven,
state-of-the-art technologies
and rock-solid reliability for
pitch-perfect performances.
UNDERSTAND THE SPACE PROVIDE EVEN COVERAGE AMP UP THE CROWD
Before we begin designing effective sound and lighting systems for
nightclubs, bars and lounges, it is vital to address a number of important
questions. What kind of venue is being used for the installation? What
types of performances are held in the space? What is the budget for
building and implementing the solution? The following concepts are the
foundation of the audio visual system design process.
BUILDING PREMIUM ENTERTAINMENT SYSTEMS

5. Digital Signal Processing (DSP)
ensures that systems surpass
user and listener demands. The
DSP within our Soundcraft®
by HARMAN mixing consoles
meets a variety of needs, but
depending on the space, some
venues choose advanced BSS®
by HARMAN, dbx®
by HARMAN
or Lexicon®
by HARMAN
processors for an even better
fit. All HARMAN systems work
seamlessly together to provide
spaces with superior sound.
Stimulating guests with engaging
light and video displays maintains
a high-energy experience and
takes entertainment venues to
the next level. Martin by HARMAN
has valued superior quality,
industry-leading innovation and
unwavering dedication for more
than 25 years. Built on the same
foundation, Rush by Martin
provides unparalleled creative
solutions at an affordable cost.
These solutions extend your
brand’s personality, provide the
best experience for your patrons
and add value to your bottom line.
With the press of a button or
turn of a dial, AMX by HARMAN
automation and control systems
can transition spaces from
speech to performance mode or
small audience setups to much
larger ones. Having the power
to efficiently manage your space
saves time, energy and money.
Our touch panels are simple
enough for anyone to master and
sophisticated enough to operate
all your audio, video and lighting
from a single interface.
FINE TUNE AND
MIX THE SOUND
LIGHT THE WAY CONTROL WITH EASE

6. Facade
A memorable arrival starts your guest
experience on the right foot and leaves a lasting
impression. This is your first opportunity to
excite your customers and encourage total
immersion in your venue’s offerings. Even
seemingly plain facades can come alive with
the use of relatively simple and inexpensive
color projection from Martin and all-weather
speakers from JBL.
Bar Areas
The bar is often the hub of entertainment
venues, and it deserves a serious investment.
On a busy night, it is important to keep your
guests engaged and entertained while they
wait for their orders. The last thing anyone
wants is a customer leaving empty handed.
From creative video and message boards to
interactive displays, HARMAN solutions draw
customers to the bar and entice them to stay
longer and buy more.
Total Management Of
THE GUEST EXPERIENCE
ENGAGING & ENTERTAINING EVERY GUEST FOR THE
MOST MEMORABLE EXPERIENCE
Customers expect to be entertained and comfortable from
the moment they arrive at a venue until the moment they
leave. HARMAN Professional’s audio, video and lighting
systems help create a unique story for your space while
providing the ideal environment for guests.

7. Restaurant and Lounge
Special consideration is necessary when
outfitting a dining area. High-quality background
music and lighting are a must as well as an
adaptable system for a wide range of uses, from
fine dining to large events. AMX control systems
ensure that staff can easily adjust your audio and
visual components to provide your guests with
the best overall experience.
Dance Floor
As the heart and pulse for many nightclubs and
bars, the dance floor requires a considerable
investment in audio and lighting. Crown
amplifiers power JBL speakers and subs to fill
the space with powerful sound, while Martin
lighting creates a lively atmosphere that helps
keep guests’ energy levels high.
VIP Areas
The VIP area must be designed with the guest in
mind. This exclusive clientele expects top-shelf
quality in every aspect of their experience, from
prompt customer service and superb brand
selections to high fidelity JBL speakers and
ambient Martin lighting.
Performance Space
Today’s customers are expecting to see a show,
not just a live act. That means your bands and
DJs need to do more than sound good, they
need to look good. HARMAN’s complete audio
solutions have been the backbone of successful
artists for more than 60 years, and now our
visual solutions will take them to the next level.

8. Innovating The Future Of
Pro Audio & Visuals
“My designs demand products that can withstand being in
high intensity environments. I’ve relied on Martin for years
to provide professional equipment that meets my needs
and expectations. I continue to specify and utilize their
equipment in large scale festivals and nightclubs all over the
world because I can’t afford to deal with any less.”
-Steve Lieberman, Owner, SJ Lighting
THE HARMAN EXPERIENCE

9. “Crown provides exceptional customer service.
My calls are always returned and problems are handled
immediately. My club uses nothing but Crown amplifiers –
they have the best warranties in the business.”
-Steve Fisher, Owner, Pure Nightclub - Miami
“I have been using Crown amplifiers in nightclub installations for the last 40 years.
My first D-75 amp is still in service today! For the right mix of sonic quality and
rugged dependability, they are unmatched. I am also a big fan of their design and
appreciate the level of customer commitment shown by them over the years.”
-John Lyons, Owner, Avalon Sound
“Having Harman as a partner really enables us to bring our shows at the
highest level of quality for our audiences across the globe. One of the main
benefits I personally experience is that no matter at which scale we have a
performance Harman and all of their brands will always have a product that
is right for the size and purpose we need it. The fact that their distribution
network and technical support is truly global only makes life easier for all of us.”
-Koen De Puysseleir, Production Designer for Tiesto

10. ENVIRONMENTAL RESPONSIBILITY
