features. The iRock 7 Spot MSD are a great looking moving mirror, that can work in conjunction with the iMove Spot 250 yokes, featuring 7 rotating indexible gobos and 9 trapezoid dichroic colours. Jade also specified an e:cue multimedia dongle for their AMX touch screen in each bar for ease of use.
With tasteful designed prints greeting patrons on entry, and colorful wall hugging luxurious couches, the Exchange Hotel has created a relaxing modern atmosphere, while keeping in touch and much loved original charm. The hotel has a large open plan design and boasts real class and style.
“The roof top bar is by far one of the most biggest and striking features to the hotel with views of Brisbane’s CBD”, says Jade. “We specified Visio Flexi LED on this bar as well due to its high intensity and its flexibility.” Visio Flexi LED can also be cut or connected every 5 LEDs (140mm) which is great for any length of area.
A quality design needs quality in other areas particularly audio and so JVG Sound Lighting & Visual didn’t hesitate to recommend a Crown driven JBL sound system.
“JBL has such a good sound and offers a really competitive price,” commented Jade. “We been using JBL powered by Crown on quite a few installs. We’ve also been using BSS digital audio processing a lot as it has a lot of DSP power at a good price point. We’ve been interfacing it into the AMX touch screen system and it’s been working very well.”
Two JBL AM6212/95 speakers are used for the dance floor along with a JBL SRX728 18” sub woofer delivering the volume and clarity required. The speakers are powered by two Crown XTI4000 amplifiers as well as a XTI2000 amplifier.
Outside there are ten Bose DS100 SE, waterproof speakers.
AMX 5” touch screens have been installed in all three bars with video preview.

“The Exchange Hotel is extremely happy with the renovation. They are very happy with all the lighting products supplied and have had such great feedback on their renovation. They now have the power to control their own scenes and moods with lighting effects, which plays a large role when operating the venue. At JVG we are pleased to have played our part in transforming a Brisbane icon,” says Jade.
The Exchange Hotel utilises Nightlife Music + Video’s music, advertising and visual management platform, the HDMS (Hard Drive Music System), as an essential ingredient in its daytime and evening entertainment offering. The Nightlife system provides the venue with customised music for its different areas. Such as video clips for visual entertainment and dj’ing in the downstairs bars, as well as chilled café styled audio tracks for its more relaxed entertainment zones.
The Exchange Hotel also has the Nightlife system set to display ambient visuals (the content for this is supplied in conjunction with MoodTV). This is a new service being offered by Nightlife and is 100% integrated with the Nightlife system. Ambient Visuals are being used on screens throughout the Exchange as an alternative to video clips, complimenting audio only tracks and used in between scheduled advertisements. Essentially, the venue can pick and choose exactly what they’d like to show on their screens and when (music video, advertising or visuals)… and it’s all been pulled together by one solution, the Nightlife system.
