It is the second largest city in the country and the commercial and processing center for a sugarcane, coffee, and cattle region. with a rock concert environment. It's all in the decor, though: There's no live music. But there is quite a stereo system. "The speakers are optimized for getting loud and being fairly rugged. They're designed to be corned around in the back of vans," said Paul Chavez, director of systems applications for Harmon Pro Group, who worked on the project with the retailer. The sound system features Harman's DBX DBX Data Bus Accelerator DBX Debugger for Unix DBX Digital Private Branch Exchange DBX Data Base Extension DBX Dolby Stereo DBX Debugging Tools DBX Digital Branch Exchange DBX Extended Debugger DBX Data Byte X Zone Pro, a digital equalizer that contours the sound by digitally balancing the treble treble, highest part in choral music, thus corresponding in pitch to soprano, but associated with the voice of a boy or a girl.

"The ones in the store would run at $3,700 so it's pretty obvious why they didn't use the real thing," Chavez said. "Besides, it would be way too loud for that environment." Beyond suspended stacks of speakers and loud music, the concert theme features include light towers and merchandise such as concert shirts, CDs and music memorabilia. A second store with the same theme will open soon in New Jersey. Hot Topic refused to comment on either of the pilot stores. Chavez said he's happy to be associated with the chain, thanks to its young shoppers. "There will inevitably be a young musician who comes into the store and sees the stereo system," Chavez said. "There is a synergy there with Hot Topic." |
