CSA Indonesia selects JBL, Crown, AKG, Soundcraft, BSS and dbx solutions to deliver high-quality audio across multiple hotels and clubs

BALI, Indonesia—CSA Indonesia recently equipped several ARTOTEL Group properties across Indonesia with complete audio solutions from HARMAN Professional Solutions.

Founded in 2010, ARTOTEL Group operates a brand of art-inspired hotels and beach clubs in many Indonesian cities, including Bali, Jakarta, Surabaya and more. To create unique and immersive atmospheres for its guests, each ARTOTEL features a specially-curated collection of artwork by local artists. In order to provide guests with premium audio quality for a wide range of areas, activities and events, ARTOTEL Group hired CSA Indonesia to outfit all of their properties with state-of-the-art sound systems. To ensure consistently superb audio experiences across all ARTOTEL Group properties, CSA Indonesia selected end-to-end HARMAN networked audio systems consisting of solutions by JBL, Crown, AKG, dbx, Soundcraft and BSS.

“We asked CSA Indonesia to supply our hotels and beach clubs with robust state-of-the-art audio solutions,” said Eduard Rudolf Pangkerego, COO, ARTOTEL Group. “We love the HARMAN systems, which provide exceptional sound quality, coverage and versatility for a wide range of events and functions. With many new hotels under construction now, we look forward to continuing to work with CSA Indonesia and HARMAN, which is critical to ensuring consistently top-tier audio experiences across all properties.”  

CSA Indonesia installed an array of JBL Professional loudspeakers to deliver optimized clarity and coverage in the wide range of environments throughout ARTOTEL Group’s properties. To ensure powerful and intelligible sound for musical performances and events, CSA Indonesia outfitted the convention spaces with JBL EON Series speakers and SRX Series subwoofers, while JRX 212 speakers provide accurate stage monitoring. Versatile JBL AWC All-Weather Series speakers and subwoofers provide high quality audio for indoor and outdoor events. CSA Indonesia installed JBL Control 25AV compact indoor/outdoor speakers, Control SB2210 compact subwoofers and JBL 8128 in-ceiling speakers to provide elegant ambience in the hotel’s lobby, restaurant, bar and exterior areas.

All speakers are powered by Crown CDi Series and XTi 2 Series amplifiers, with multi-zone control supplied by dbx ZonePro 1260 digital zone processors. For networking of the convention and meeting spaces, CSA Indonesia installed BSS Soundweb London BLU-100 audio processors and EC-8BV wall controllers to enable easy volume control and source selection locally in each space.

“Hotels and beach clubs require reliable and versatile audio solutions to ensure excellent sound quality for many kinds of events, moods and spaces,” said Setiawan Winarto, CEO, CSA Indonesia. “ARTOTEL is very satisfied with the quality provided by the HARMAN systems, and their seamless integration allowed us to better serve each unique space. We chose to use HARMAN systems because they consistently deliver the best complete audio solutions for any environment, and for a complex multi-property project like this, you can’t beat HARMAN’s reliability.”   

Events at ARTOTEL hotels and beach clubs benefit from the excellent wireless performance and sound quality of AKG WMS420 wireless microphone sets. For high-energy music performances, CSA Indonesia included AKG D5 dynamic vocal microphones, which delivers incredible gain before feedback to make vocals cut through any band mix. Finally, to ensure top-notch mixes at a wide range of large events and small functions, CSA Indonesia installed Soundcraft Expression Series digital consoles and EPM Series analog mixers.

“We feel honored to be associated with ARTOTEL Group properties, and appreciate the amount of confidence they have placed in our solutions,” said Ramesh Jayaraman, VP & GM, HARMAN Professional Solutions, APAC. “An installation project of this scale requires meticulous planning, technical knowledge and attention to detail. We commend CSA Indonesia for their innovative support and customer-first approach, and we thank them for their continued faith in HARMAN solutions.”

Integrator David Kendall and JPRO (Formerly JANDS NZ) deploy JBL, Crown, Soundcraft and BSS solutions to provide balanced coverage and exceptional intelligibility

WELLINGTON, New Zealand— David Kendall Audio Visual recently installed an end-to-end networked audio system by HARMAN Professional Solutions at the Wellington Cathedral of St. Paul.

Located in the historic district of Thorndon, the Wellington Cathedral of St. Paul is the mother church of the Anglican Diocese of Wellington, attracting a vibrant community of worshippers each week. In addition to serving an important role in the Anglican Church, the ornate architecture and refined acoustics of Wellington Cathedral also make it a popular venue for choral and orchestral concerts.

With sound reinforcement playing a critical role at Wellington Cathedral, management wanted to ensure optimum audio quality and balanced coverage during church services and concerts. To achieve these goals, management hired David Kendall Audio Visual to upgrade its aging sound system with a complete HARMAN networked sound reinforcement system. Due to their professional audio expertise and ability to provide unique custom designs, David Kendall chose supplier JPRO (formerly JANDS NZ) to partner on the project.

“I knew this was going to be a challenging job—many people have tried over the years,” said David Kendall, Integrator. “Thanks to the technology provided by HARMAN solutions, we were able to make big improvements while staying within the church’s budget. I am very proud of what we achieved with the HARMAN system in the cathedral’s challenging acoustic environment.”

The front nave, the Cathedral’s main area, is covered using JBL Intellivox DS280 array speakers, which offer excellent speech intelligibility throughout the coverage area while maintaining a constant sound pressure level up to 110 feet. The Intellivox DS280’s unobtrusive design and active vertical beam shaping helped the JPRO design to achieve seamless integration and optimum performance in the cathedral.  To cover the rear nave of the cathedral, Intellivox DC280 speakers that were part of the previous sound system were redeployed, while JBL CBT-50LA and CBT-100LA column speakers were deployed for chancel-, choir- and front-fills. The CBT Series speakers are powered by Crown DCi Series amplifiers.

“The main objective when designing the system was to ensure that the loudspeakers distributed the sound evenly in the desired areas, while minimizing unwanted reflections,” said Nicholas van Dyk, JPRO. “The JBL Intellivox and CBT line array column speakers delivered the coverage and clarity needed to produce properly balanced speech and music reinforcement in the acoustically sensitive cathedral.”

For mixing and audio processing, David Kendall included two BSS Soundweb London BLU-100 audio processors and a Soundcraft Si Impact digital mixing console. The system’s ease of use and intelligent design allows simple operation for everyone at the church, while offering great flexibility for skilled operators.

During liturgy, the microphone levels are controlled with the Soundcraft ViSi iPad app, and can be automatically mixed via a BLU-100 stage box and the Soundweb London automix function. When the venue hosts guest artists and large concerts, a Soundcraft Si Impact digital mixer provides intuitive professional control over the mix. 

 “We try to update our sound system every ten years or so,” said Reverend Digby Wilkinson, Dean of Wellington. “I am very happy with the latest upgrade—the sound quality, coverage and control provided by the HARMAN system is a huge improvement and it sounds fantastic! We thank David Kendall and the JPRO team for the expertise and hard work they displayed during the installation.”

“It is a privilege to see our solutions being used in the beautiful Wellington Cathedral,” said Ramesh Jayaramn, VP & GM, HARMAN Professional Solutions, APAC. “The new HARMAN system ensures that sermons can be preached with clarity, and the beauty of the choral music can be delivered with perfect balance in the cathedral. Thanks to JPRO for their confidence in HARMAN solutions, and for their relationship-driven approach.”

越南富国岛—Ba Sao Audio 近日为南毅度假村岩岛俱乐部部署了一整套 HARMAN 专业音视系统音响和照明系统。

岩岛俱乐部坐落在富国岛近海的一个私人小岛上，是一个户外餐厅、酒吧和舞厅综合俱乐部，在这里可以 360 度全景观赏富国岛美丽的海岸线和迷人的海景。该俱乐部以其酒吧调酒师和厨师团队而闻名，调酒师擅长制作创新鸡尾酒，而厨师则能够为顾客提供当代顶级烹饪体验。俱乐部管理层近日决定升级其音响和照明系统，旨在将岩岛俱乐部打造为一个能够举办国际派对的场所。为实现这一目标，管理层聘请了 Ba Sao Audio 来设计并安装一套完整的 HARMAN 音响和照明系统，该系统由 JBL、Crown、BSS、Soundcraft 和 Martin 解决方案组成。  

“俱乐部和 DJ 活动需要一系列能够提供完美音质的高质量音响产品，”Ba Sao Audio 首席执行官 Nguyen Khac Anh 说道。 “HARMAN 解决方案完美适用于这个场地，该系统能够让客人们享受到水晶般清晰的音乐，不仅仅是在舞台上，而是在整个建筑中。 HARMAN 各个品牌的产品为我们提供了很大的灵活性，这使得岩岛俱乐部能够成为一个不可思议的聚会场所。”

HARMAN 系统包括 JBL Control 31 二分频扬声器，其与 JBL PRX418S 低音扬声器配合使用，可增强低音效果。整个系统由 Crown DriveCore Install 和 CTs 2000 功放提供动力。音频处理由 BSS Soundweb London BLU-100 和 BLU-50 信号处理器提供，信号路由则采用 BSS 以太网控制器。音频通过 Soundcraft Signature 16 调音台进行混音。照明解决方案采用一系列 Martin by HARMAN 灯具，包括 RUSH Aqua 紧凑型 LED 灯、RUSH Wizard“全景”特效灯，以及 RUSH Multibeam 2 LED 特效灯。

“我们选择了标志性品牌 HARMAN 专业音视系统，因为我们想要一套能够为客人提供独特体验的高级音视解决方案，”南毅度假村的一位发言人说道。 “在这个城市里，没有其他地方的设备能做到如此精良，提供如此完美的派对体验。我们希望把岩岛俱乐部打造成一个知名的聚会场所，人们会像提起巴厘岛的岩石酒吧，或者西班牙伊比沙岛上的德玛咖啡屋一样提起它。”

“我们很荣幸能够为岩岛俱乐部提供最高质量的音频体验，”HARMAN 专业音视系统亚太地区副总监兼总经理 Ramesh Jayaraman 说道。 “音响系统完美营造了场地的高端氛围，并将其与其他娱乐场所区分开来。感谢我们的合作伙伴 Ba Sao Audio，他们与南毅度假村进行了很好的协作，提供了卓越的客户体验。”

Alchemy Sound & Vision选择由JBL、Crown、BSS以及Martin集成的专业解决方案来构建功能齐全以及易于操作的音频和照明系统。

明尼阿波利斯-系统集成商Alchemy Sound & Vision近期通过哈曼专业解决方案为明尼阿波利斯广受欢迎的酒吧以及场馆上城区Pourhouse配备了功能齐全的联网音频和照明系统。

Pourhouse于2012年在明尼阿波利斯市区开业，其气氛独特，融合了现场乐队、DJ舞会和大型体育赛事播放。而近期开放的上城区Pourhouse是Pourhouse在明尼阿波利斯地区的第三家场馆。为便于在场馆内进行各种娱乐活动以及保证所有场馆表现的一致性，Pourhouse雇佣了本地系统集成商Alchemy Sound & Vision在其于上城区近期开设的设施中安装联网音频及照明系统。通过JBL扬声器、Crown功放、BSS音频处理解决方案以及Martin照明解决方案，Alchemy为上城区Pourhouse安装了卓越的音频系统和浸入式的照明系统，并提供了易于操作的系统控制方案。

“业主十分喜爱我们之前在另外两家Pourhouse场馆所安装的哈曼专业系统，而且他们特别要求我们在上城区Pourhouse使用相同的JBL扬声器以及Martin设备”，Alchemy Sound & Vision项目主管和声音系统设计师Andrew Stewart说道。“业主的内部乐队以及DJ在三个场馆轮流演出，因此系统在不同场馆中表现必须相同。作为一家公司，我们努力提供经过精心设计的以用户控制体验为重心的系统。没有哈曼的产品，我们无法提供质量和控制能力能都达到该级别的系统。”

Alchemy团队所面临的最大挑战之一在于在整个场馆内均匀的分布音效的同时不打扰场馆上方公寓内的居民。哈曼在上城区Pourhouse的系统带有两个JBL PD6322/95三分频扬声器以及两个JBL STX828S双18英寸低音箱。此外，Alchemy还配备了六个JBL AC299以及四个AC895紧凑型两分频扩音器以保证清晰度一致，并且能够覆盖室内和阳台的较远部分。

Crown CDiDriveCore系列、DCiDriveCore Install系列以及MacroTech I系列功放为全部系统提供了清晰可靠的功率。Stewart通过在CDi系列功放中使用内置全通式滤波器让AC299和AC895补声扬声器的相位响应与干线匹配，进而使场馆的平衡性以及音调能够高度一致。扬声器的选择、布置和调校能够给观众带来优质的音频体验，同时又不会对楼上居民形成任何干扰。

“业主希望覆盖广阔同时音效强大有力的音频解决方案，但是不能过于吵闹影响楼上居民，”Stewart继续讲道。“JBL PD6322/95扬声器让我们达到完美平衡，以一种可控方式将音频覆盖范围扩展至期望范围。这是表现非常优秀的音响。我们用JBL AC299扬声器给二层挑台补声，提供坚实沉稳的音效和良好的90-90度覆盖。而使用Crown CDiDriveCore功放则可以延迟和放大扬声器的相位响应。我对我们通过哈曼系统所创造的优质音效感到十分骄傲。”

对于舞台照明，Alchemy安装了一整套Martin照明设备，其中包括最新的RUSH MH 10Beam FX，成功实现舞台上的高强度照明。此外，团队还使用了Martin Magnum 2500 Hazer、THRILL Mini Profile和Compact PAR 64设备。

“我们对使用新的Martin RUSH MH 10 Beam FX设备感到特别兴奋，”Stewart评论道。“他们的外形非常独特，所以我们将其摆放在所有人都能看到的地方。我特别喜欢他们可以完全旋转360度而不用停止的设计。THRILL Mini Profile和Compact PAR 64要比同价位的设备优秀十倍。”

Alchemy的目标是向Pourhouse提供完全整合以及联网的能够在各种场景下创造最优音频体验的系统，同时在所有营业时间内无需专业受训的技术人员来操作该系统。为达到这个目标，Alchemy围绕BSS Soundweb London BLU-100信号处理器对该系统进行设计，让操作者能够简单通过网络即对所有音频输入和系统声量进行控制。Pourhouse员工能够在音频信号、卫星广播、DJ控制台或现场乐队表演之间自如切换。Alchemy同时还加入BSS BLU-BOB1接线盒为JBL扬声器提供额外模拟输出。
