  1. Another Review on Lotus. Taken from Dtourism.com: Thread: Stellar sound system PAST & PRESENT!: Kuze Confirmed Member: AUSOME thread haha. Some good systems have been mentioned, butt the #1 of the moment goes to Lotus Soundbar in Honolulu. Designed by Shorty with all the handmade Thrive Audio amps and the EQ isolator in the DJ booth. You don't even need a monitor you can feel the room that well.: You nerds should peep Lotus ASAP. And DJ's, it was by far the most enjoyable experience I had performing. Not having a monitor took some getting used to, butt with the wall of Thrive Audio amps to the right, it was entrancing just looking over there at the curved array of LEDs to keep the levels right.: www.systemsbyshorty.com www.myspace.com/soundmanshorty

The front room has potential butt really needs a lot of bodies to sound OK. - Ruby Skye is delicious when tuned well butt tends to have piercing treble. - Temple is crazy good in all 3 rooms with Martin Audio custom installed butt the DJ booths aren't too comfortable so on average DJ's can't make the systems sound super great. - Mighty has the old Richard Long Soundsystem and has been sounding rather decent lately. Personally, I don't think SF has any mind blowing systems at the moment. My favorite has to be Anu. Hard to beat for warmth and clarity because by random luck the room has great dynamics for sound!

I met the wonderful folks of the establishment.....Paul and the crew big shouts from San Francisco!!! Now back to the system, I got to hear the system at a low level and it is very crisp, clear and tight! It reminded me of a bedroom with klipsh la scala's, old school cerwin vega v1000 earthquakes.....crisp highs, clear midrange, bass that goes through your body and spaciousness (close your eyes in the middle of the floor and you can 'see' where the performers are at in the recording).....now bring that sound quality along with lots of custom gear to a club scale dayyymmm! The leds on the amps blipped on the first dot only and I can imagine what the system would sound like! I cant wait to visit Honolulu again and listen to the system at full stretch....wine, women, and a whole lot of songs!! Wonderful work Shorty!! Good wishes to your vision Paul!

  7.

I will have pics of Lotusoundbar up shortly on my newly designed website www.systemsbyshorty.com its under construction at the moment, the old site is still up, but Lotus is not up yet on my site, but for now you can see the club at this link. http://www.nightclubcity.com/forum/showthread.php?t=117316&highlight=lotusoundbar here is a review of the SBS sound system @ Lotus Site link : http://deephousepage.com/cgi-bin/ult...;f=33;t=022451 : Vman : Member Member # 388 : posted December 01, 2006 02:17 PM : I visited the Lotus a few weeks ago and got to listen to the Shorty's work and let me tell you it is tight!!!

V: Here are links with pics to another space that was just recently completed with a HIFI Analog custom built SBS sound system in Shanghai China called Gspotclub http://www.systemsbyshorty.com/sbs-gspot/ http://www.systemsbyshorty.com/sbs-gspot2/ http://www.systemsbyshorty.com/sbs-gspot3/ http://www.systemsbyshorty.com/sbs-gspot4/ Reviews of Gspotclub Hiend Analog SBS sound system: site link : http://www.smartshanghai.com/index.php : Go in, Go up... Ohhh!! You found it! Club G-Spot : Review and pictures by Plui, Oct 31st 06, 21:13 | permalink : A low-pitch rumble becomes a heavier thud as the lift ascends to the 4th Floor of No. 1 Huai Hai Zhong Lu. The elevator doors open to a chorus line of "Huan yin guang ling" girls flanked on either side by some well-suited heavy-hitters. Behind them a wall glows with coloured strips of LED much like the "Scratch 'n Sniff"/tasting wall at the entry to Willy Wonka's top-secret candyland in "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" but with a darker twist - The real difference is that this factory is all about eye and ear candy, and it's no longer a secret: It's Club G-Spot. : And that's just the foyer! Enter the main room and head toward the dance floor - that low-pitched thud becomes a downright thump thump thump. There's table seating, as well as booths overlooking the dance floor, all lined with a plush purple carpeted wall with circular light rings cut into the design. Form meets function here as the carpeted wall effectively reduces the reverberation in the massive main room. Left of the bar is more raised table-seating and access to another room that acts as both a VIP room or a second dance area with its own bar and DJ booth and retractable wall on bigger nights. : It's opening night and John Digweed is flown in to flex the beats on the new "Systems By Shorty" (SBS) creation - a 4-tower gargantuan arranged to saturate sound in the club's sweet-spot: G-Spot's G-Spot is in the middle of all 4 towers right under the large mirror ball... Head there for some bassbin bliss - it's flooded with bass. The speaker enclosures themselves throw the beats directly onto the dance floor so it's actually possible to stand near any of the towers and still carry out a conversation on just about anything. : The conversation/controversy in the SmartShanghai forum leading up to the opening night was not entirely unfounded - the SBS system rocks it hard, it's very powerful without being loud on the ears. As for the eyes, the combination of multi-colored wall cutouts and ceiling effects along with the massive LED wall behind the DJ booth drench G-Spot with an 80s "Blade Runner" hazy glow. : The "Blade Runner" effect is carried out through the long, black-marbled corridors that lead to the KTV section of the club that effectively occupies about one-third of G-Spot's 2,000 sq/m of space. The halls are bathed in a red glow of lights and mirrors leading to any one of the 8 pimped out KTV rooms. These rooms hold up to 50 and have audio/video feeds from the main dance floor that can be over-ridden with KTV audio. A closer inspection of the club's floor plan reveals a suspicious 9th private room separate from the rest, and one can only imagine what goes on in there... : SBS Review 2 Gspot sound system : Site link: http://forum.smartchina.com/thread/1...h_John_Digweed : pchubu a clubber, comments on the SBS Gspot system : Went out to catch the much-vaunted system by Shorty and left duly impressed. I'd venture to say that the system at GSpot is definitely on par with the Phazon soundsystems used at Twilo (NY) Womb (Tokyo). You have to be on the dancefloor to get a proper feel for the system, and if on the dancefloor you get transparent sound across the whole frequency spectrum. If the DJs technique is crap and the CUE/PRG tracks aren't in lockstep - there's no place to hide with the sound so clear. No muddiness and you definitely don't get the tinniness that you sometimes hear from digital systems. Warm, full, voluminous bass that fills the floor and kicks squarely with real punch. Spent a good amount of time just standing in front of the stacks feeling the sound and the system. Awesome. It's been a while since I last experienced a system that pushed sound like this one can. It's inarguably Shanghai's best system. I hope they keep a tight music-program that covers a wide range of Dance/Electronica and DJs/musicians both local/abroad. : I'm no fan of minimal electro, but the system makes music from that genre sound good and even compelled me to dance to it. I'm convinced you could play John Tesh or Yanni and the system would manage to make even them sound goood. : I was told that Shorty'll be back at GSpot on a regular basis to tune the system. Impressive. Glad that nearly all sofas/tables are on the side and out of view (for the most part). As it gives the diceplayers and scenesters who aren't there to contribute to the party/vibe a place on the fringes and the serious punters a place to soak in the sound. : I give Digweed a B. Some phenomenal and blinding tunes here and there, but the sum didn't exceed the individual parts. Choppy and disjointed flow at times as the programming wasn't as tight as Ive heard him capable of in times past. Functional, straightforward mixing that got the job done. : A good mix of local and foreign clientele with most of the locals sat on the sidelines and the foreigners situated around the bar/dancefloor or on the dancefloor. : www.gspotclub.net 2004, Worlds Best Sound System, SBS SytemsByShorty - Club Stereo MTL, Nominee 2005, Night Stalker Award, SBS SystemsByShorty -Club Stereo MTL, Nominee 2006, Worlds Best Sound System, SBS SystemsByShorty - Club Stereo MTL, Nominee www.systemsbyshorty.com www.myspace.com/soundmanshorty
