BSS has installed many systems
for clients over the years, but the most remarkable
is the full scale professional system at the
Lone Star Texas Grill Restaurant and Dance Hall. The stage at the Lonestar is often graced by well-known international
acts such as Brooks & Dunn, Toby Keith, Montgomery
Gentry, and Keith Urban, so only a sophisticated,
top-quality system was acceptable.
BSS is proud to have been chosen to design and
install and maintain it.

In designing the system to fit the budget for the
project, we chose Yorkville Concert series (TX-4)
and Crest Audio amplifiers. The cumulative FOH power
alone adds up to over 11,000 watts of power, for a
room that has a capacity of 350 people. We also
installed a Midas Venice console with professional
effects (Yamaha, Roland) and equalized with (Ashly)
processing. A separate monitor console (Mackie SR24
modified to provide six post mixes for weekend
bands, on bi-amped Martin LE400 monitors. A Yamaha
GA32 or Yamaha LS-9 32 is brought in for national
acts, QSC PLX power, and Electrovoice XW12A, and
XW15A monitors to complete the National act monitor
system.
The band lighting system for the Lonestar is getting
a facelift changing from twenty four Par 64 chrome
cans, on NSI NRD8000 dimmers, driven with a 24
channel, 7024 NSI console to 24 PAR 64 LED cans and
an elation scene setter 24 console. The six Par 64
chrome cans will stay to provide warm front
lighting, with medium-wash bulbs. We have recently
added 4 blizzard flurry spot Led moving heads.
The dance floor lighting system is another story… We
used 5 minimac profile fixtures, 2 blizzard
colorstorm 252's, 2 blizzard RGBpinspots, and 2
White pinspots. The secone area of the dance floor
has 4 technobeams. A Martin light jockey and touch
screen interface controls the system. Hazer of
choice for this venue is the ULTRAFX - Radiance
Hazer. On such a small dance floor, the lighting
provides a great party atmosphere.
We were also asked to install the restaurant audio
system. This was no small task because of the
various floor levels and small private rooms. For
this task, we turned to the JBL install product,
using a JBL 25T monitors to be the beefy playback
speakers, and then powering the 70 volt
fourteen-speaker system with a Audio Pro
4020 (2x1200 watts @ 2 ohms). For the mixing console
in the kitchen we used a sixteen-channel mixer
with an auxiliary feed out to the main bar system.
There are also a couple of all-weather outdoor
speakers on the patio.
The Lonestar Café's system is the crown jewel of
BSS's club installations.
We installed and currently service all of the
Lonestars audio requirements for all four locations
in the city of Ottawa, Ontario, Canada.
