SIX MARTIN AUDIO WPL STACKS CREATE POWERFUL DANCEFLOOR IMMERSION AT PLAZA

India: Dubbed as Asia’s largest nightlife destination, Hyderabad’s new Quake Arena leverages over 100 Martin Audio components to distribute sound across the 5,000m2 venue. Set on three levels, the venue, which is owned and operated by Jupally Rameswar Rao’s My Home Group, has capacity for 5,000 patrons and has played host to world-renowned artists such as European DJs Ben Böhmer and Afrojack.

IT’S DESIGNED TO HIT HARD, SOUND CLEAN AND PERFORM FLAWLESSLY ALL NIGHT.

He therefore opted for a six-stack solution to ensure everyone within the dancefloor’s sound field could enjoy a unique 360° experience. A total of 24 WPL line array elements were deployed in six hangs, with Russo noting, “People rarely experience a high-powered, concert-style cabinet that operates well within its limits, while maintaining significant headroom. This is crucial for efficiently handling the massive dynamic range produced by international DJs.”

To complement the arrays, a six-stack configuration of 18 Martin Audio SXH218 (2x18in) hybrid subwoofers was selected. The main sub stack stands at 2.5 metres, allowing patrons to experience the full force when dancing next to it.

However, this installation is not purely about brute force, as Brendon Fava emphasises. “It’s about delivering precision, power and consistency. It’s designed to hit hard, sound clean and perform flawlessly all night.”

Away from the dance floor, the bar and VIP booth delay areas are served by 16 Martin Audio THS 15-inch 3-way coaxial cabinets. These cabinets provide the necessary sound levels as a delay system, ensuring a seamless transition from the dance floor. Notably, the DJ booth is equipped with what Anthony refers to as “the Martin SRM System, a Super Reference Monitors 4-way DJ system”. This setup comprises a pair of THS cabinets mounted on custom-made brackets, paired with two SX218 subwoofers that can meet the most demanding requirements while also keeping pace with the main front-of-house (FOH) system.

Anthony further comments, “A three-way coaxial means the DJ receives the extreme detail and timing needed for a perfect performance. The clarity and power of this setup will undoubtedly become a rider requirement.”

The SPL is maintained in the foyer where 11 Martin Audio Blackline X8 have been installed supplemented with three SX112 subwoofers.

Further considerations were vibration control and minimising disturbances to neighbouring properties. To ensure this every cabinet was suspended using Embelton spring isolation or set on specialised floor mounts, while custom rigging was designed and installed by CVAV Sydney.

The Allen & Heath system processor powers 14 Martin Audio iKON DSP multichannel amplifiers on a Dante network, creating an enviable 250kW of available power.

Elsewhere at Basement level, Sarah Maloney has created a stunning, moody subterranean vinyl bar. This exclusive atmosphere is sensitively enhanced by the specification of another six-position immersive sound space. This time it is scaled back to feature six Martin Audio CDD15 speakers, eight CDD10 for fill and two SX218 subs. DJs have also been catered for, with powerful stereo CDD15s provided as monitors.

The venue has got off to a dynamic start following its pre-Christmas opening, having already hosted prominent local and international DJs—including Chris Stussy and Mind Against—while increasingly finding favour with VIPs, celebrities and partygoers alike.

Martin Audio delivers earthshaking sound at Quake Arena

India: Dubbed as Asia’s largest nightlife destination, Hyderabad’s new Quake Arena leverages over 100 Martin Audio components to distribute sound across the 5,000m2 venue. Set on three levels, the venue, which is owned and operated by Jupally Rameswar Rao’s My Home Group, has capacity for 5,000 patrons and has played host to world-renowned artists such as European DJs Ben Böhmer and Afrojack.

In addition to the Martin Audio units, the venue features a cornucopia of technology, including over 1,200m2 of LED displays, 1,000 lighting fixtures and a 12W laser show.

At the heart of the sound system is Martin Audio’s Wavefront Precision (WPC) line array. Artists can also rely on 20 of the manufacturer’s SX218 subwoofers for low-frequency rumble and LE100 monitors for their reference sound.

“The installation has completely transformed our venue into a sonic powerhouse,” said Quake Arena director Raja Srikar. “Every beat and note resonates with unmatched clarity and impact, leaving our guests amazed. The team’s attention to detail and expertise made all the difference in creating this electrifying audio experience.”

His co-director Kunal Kukreja agreed, adding that they envisioned a space that would redefine nightlife experiences. “The sound system has truly brought that vision to life,” he noted. “The clarity, depth and power of the audio are remarkable, creating an atmosphere that keeps our guests coming back for more. It’s an investment that has elevated our club to the next level.”

The centrepiece of the sonic solution is created by eight elements a side of WPC line arrays, driven in two-box resolution from Martin Audio’s iKON DSP multichannel amplifiers. Elsewhere, in the upper mezzanine level and VIP lounges are the CDD12B and CDD10B coaxial differential dispersion loudspeakers.

Aside from the amplifiers, dedicated DX4.0 processors add real-time processing and control over the system. They have been integrated to serve as a backbone of the system, offering stability, headroom and precise audio tuning for events.

Sound consultant Abhimanyu Chopra from Chopra Designs served as the guiding hand behind the audio solution. “Designing the audio experience for Quake Arena was both an exciting challenge and a rewarding achievement,” he said. “With its immense scale and high-energy requirements, the goal was to create a system that delivers precision, clarity and impact across all three levels. The Martin Audio system ensures seamless coverage and deep, resonant bass that truly immerses the audience.”

All the equipment was supplied by Martin Audio’s Indian distributor, VMT with pre-design and sales engineer, Sai Prem, noting: “The installation at Quake Arena reflects the perfect synergy of advanced technology and strategic design. Every component has been carefully tailored to ensure precise sound delivery, powerful bass and uniform coverage.”

VMT director Jeff Mandot added: “Quake Arena showcases the best of pro audio innovation. With Martin Audio at its core, the sound is powerful and precise. This installation defines what world-class audio should be.”

LEA Amps Power Hilton Garden Inn | Dominican Republic

To complement its breathtaking setting, the Hilton Garden Inn La Romana chose LEA Professional’s Connect Series amplifiers for an audio system as exceptional as its surroundings.

THE SPEC

🏢 Venue: Hilton Garden Inn | La Romana, Dominican Republic

👷‍♂️ Integrator: Symantel

🤝 Distibutor: Musitempo

🎶 Audio Spaces: Entire Hotel 

🦈 Product Used: Connect Series 354  (Multiple)

Hilton Garden Inn La Romana

The Hilton Garden Inn La Romana in the Dominican Republic is a romantic getaway just steps from pristine Caribbean beaches. With 130 rooms—many boasting ocean-view balconies—plus a pool, bars, a restaurant, and event spaces, it offers the perfect blend of luxury and relaxation. Designed for both leisure and business travelers, the hotel provides modern amenities, world-class hospitality, and a serene atmosphere, making it an ideal destination for unforgettable vacations and seamless corporate gatherings.

The Install

Hotel staff contacted local integration firm Symantel to design a robust audio distribution system for the hotel’s common areas and meeting rooms. The hotel wanted background music with local zone control for specific areas, such as the bars and restaurants. Symantel, in turn, contacted Fernando Hernandez Voigt, the Chief Technology Officer at Musitempo, for help with the project. Voigt convinced the hotel to install a more robust solution with expanded capabilities to improve guest safety.

“While they originally just wanted background music, we educated hotel management on the importance of public address systems and the ability to hook it up with the fire alarm system to have a solution that background music is only a feature, but not the main focus,“ said Voigt. “And management loved the idea. At the end of the day, we deployed audio almost everywhere, not only in the social spaces but also in service areas and elevator lobbies. Basically, everywhere in the hotel.”

Voigt chose multiple  Connect Series 354 amplifiers to power the loudspeakers installed throughout the hotel. The IoT-enabled 4-channel 354 provides 350 watts per channel, supports Hi-Z (70V or 100V) and Lo-Z selectable by channel, and features Smart Power Bridge technology. With three ways to connect, the hotel can engage the built-in Wi-Fi access point, connect to the center’s Wi-Fi, or connect to the local area network via Cat5 or Cat6 cable. 

With LEA Cloud and companion WebUI interface, hotel staff or Voigt’s team can remotely control and monitor the amplifiers regardless of the location or time of day. WebUI also allows support teams to adjust channel settings remotely when needed, including input levels, crossover points, and equalizer settings, allowing problems to be corrected in a more timely fashion by eliminating travel and saving the hotel time and money.

“One of the reasons we used LEA amplifiers is for their marvelous LEA Cloud feature, which we love so much,” said Voigt. “We’re always on the go, so when a customer calls, it’s very easy for us to get connected to the venue to troubleshoot and get a more in-depth idea of what’s happening to see if it’s an issue we can resolve online or if we have to send technicians out.”

THE CONCLUSION

The Hilton Garden Inn La Romana staff was delighted with the installation. When staff from nearby Hilton properties are rotated in for cross-training and coverage, they’re amazed at the audio clarity and system capabilities.

“Hotel Garden Inn La Romana is the perfect application for our amplifiers,” said Brian Pickowitz, VP of Marketing at LEA Professional. “The sun, sand, and ocean breeze all play an integral role in the ambiance, and how the hotel implemented an audio system to complement the beautiful surroundings highlights their passion for elevated guest experiences. We’re very proud to be part of this installation.”

A special thanks to the teams at Symantel and Musitempo for recommending Connect Series amplifiers to the Hilton Garden Inn for this installation. We’re thrilled at the opportunity to collaborate and ensure unparalleled sound quality for many years ahead.

SESC FRANCA OPENS IN BRAZIL WITH TORUS AND WPC

Inaugurated on November 28, 2024, during the 200th anniversary celebrations of the city of Franca in Brazil, the latest Sesc unit opened its doors with over 100 free activities for people of all ages. Covering an area of 35,555 sq.m, Sesc Franca is the largest facility of its type in São Paulo’s interior, and as suchis one of the most important in the country, supporting social, cultural and educational projects.

The supply and installation of the sound systems for both the theatre and gymnasium were entrusted to Gobos do Brasil, a company with 24 years of experience in the professional audio and lighting market. For this project, they chose premium equipment from Martin Audio.

With a capacity of 370 seats, the Sesc Franca theatre features one of the largest stages of all the Sesc units in the state of São Paulo. The venue itself offers a diverse programme that includes musical and theatrical performances, film screenings, seminars and training activities, showcasing local, national, and international productions.

Selected for the main PA was Martin Audio’s popular TORUS series, a constant curvature line array designed for medium-sized venues with a throw of up to 30 metres. A key innovation is the aerial positioning of the subwoofers, which can be suspended and flown alongside the line array. The setup at Sesc Franca includes a pair of SXCF115cardioid subwoofers on each side, complemented by four TORUS T820(8in) modules, powered by iKON iK42 Dante-enabled digital amplifiers.

WPC delivered exceptional sound pressure without distortion.

Esteban Risso, Gobos do Brasil

Additionally, the theatre is equipped with four Martin Audio CDD6 front fills, distributed along the stage lip, powered by a VIA2502 digital amplifier. These speakers, featuring Martin Audio’s patented Coaxial Differential Dispersion (CDD) technology, ensure uniform coverage, outperforming typical point-source systems.

Commenting on the installation, Esteban Risso, Commercial Director of Gobos do Brasil, said: “We achieved extremely linear coverage, with only a 1.5dB variation between the first and last rows. The suspended cardioid subwoofer arrangement eliminated bass spill onto the stage and ensured consistent low-frequency coverage throughout the theatre, without overwhelming audiences in the front rows.”

For larger-scale events, the 3,000-capacity gymnasium will host everything from concerts to sporting activities. Its stage connects to the theatre stage via a motorised retractable wall.

Here a larger sound system was required, and Gobos do Brasil turned to Martin Audio’s WPC compact line array. The setup includes 16 WPC modules (eight per side) and eight SX218 subwoofers, all powered by iKON IK42 digital DSP amplifiers.

Once again, Esteban Risso complimented the system’s performance: “WPC delivered exceptional sound pressure without distortion, providing uniform coverage across the gymnasium’s 40-metre length. The scalable resolution technology is remarkable, allowing precise coverage control via the software—this makes it possible to define areas where sound is needed and exclude unwanted zones, such as reflective back walls, while minimising noise pollution.”

The alignment of the sound systems for the theatre and gymnasium was carried out by Marcelo Claret, founder and director of IAV (Institute of Audio and Video) and one of Brazil’s leading authorities in professional audio. Claret brings over 35 years of experience in live sound reinforcement.

Edinei Lima, Industrial Director and Engineer at Gobos do Brasil, oversaw the installation. He explained: “In order to install the line array with suspended subwoofers in the theatre, we developed and manufactured custom mounts—installed at a height of eight metres. The positioning was determined using 3D predictions in Martin Audio’s DISPLAY3 software, ensuring ideal coverage and linearity.”

Berenice Gutiérrez, founder and CEO of Martin Audio distributor, Proactive LATAM, offered a special thanks to the manufacturer for supporting the project delivery in a record time of less than two weeks. “They made this a clear priority, enabling Esteban and his team to achieve their production plan. This was one of our strengths for this project, and became vital when it came to making the right brand selection in a competitive installation market.”

LA’ SHUKRAN LIGHTS UP DC’S LATE-NIGHT MARKET WITH MARTIN AUDIO

A two-storey Levantine themed bar restaurant has been set up in Washington DC’s Union Market District by award-winning, Michelin-starred restaurateur, Michael Rafidi.

On the ground floor is Yellow Café, the second location in an already successful bakery concept, and this has now been joined by the vibrant La’ Shukran restaurant. Both areas have been equipped from top to bottom, along with the outside rooftop patio and back stairs alley, linking the two venues, by the recently formed Beltway Audio Group. This is a merger between two young audio entrepreneurs, Doug Cyr of Precision Event Rentals, and his friend Brady Rall—both known in the region as engineers for large local sound systems, largely at raves and warehouse parties.

Rall was first introduced to Martin Audio over a decade ago at Washington DC’s once-beloved underground music venue, U Street Music Hall,while Precision Event Rentals had more recently run Martin Audio systems at events and festivals. “Their faith in the brand was further underpinned earlier this year when seeking potential powered speakers for their rental inventory. “We realised the Blackline range now came in active form and just started buying them in multiples, largely because of the price point and quality of the sound,” said Rall.

The connection with the La’ Shukran project was made after Brady Rall had been providing tech support and operating a DJ programme for Unordinary Inc, a high-concept cocktail and restaurant bar group run by Radovan Jankovic and Marko Bogdanovic. It was they who partnered with Michael Rafidi. “So back in March 2024 they invited us to design and install this new project they were working on.”

The fact that it was in a dilapidated warehouse area of DC that was being transformed into a more upscale neighbourhood attracted them. Cyr and Rall led the project, designing the space into four zones. The ground floor, the stylish Yellow, is based on eight Martin Audio ADORN A55, with flown SX210 (2×10) and SX212 (2×12) providing low end extension. Upstairs La’ Shukran required a more powerful approach with four CDD12 and an SX212 sub, with eight further ADORN A55. Here the sound system, described as “incredible” by the installer, plays out everything from Arabic rock and hip hop and Levantine funk to more cool Mediterranean vibes.

In-ceiling speakers are found in the washrooms and ancillary.The two-floor concepts have separate entrances, both have ADORN A55 immediately outside, enabling passing customers to hear the distinct sounds of each concept as they enter. La Shukran is entered through a back alley, and customers ascend a vibrantly tiled staircase, equipped with a further A55 at both the top and bottom of the stairs. “I’ve designed a soundscape that creates the experience of walking into a portal, as if you are walking through Damascus or Beirut or modern-day Marrakech and you hear market sounds, with folkloric instruments,” explains Rall. “That’s your introduction to La’ Shukran.”

Then there is the outdoor rooftop terrace, which forms the fourth zone and features another punchy Martin Audio sound system comprising three wall-mounted CDD10-WR and a further pair of SX110 subs. This is likely to become the venue’s private space.

“I’m particularly pleased with the outdoor speakers,” he continues. “Literally there was a hurricane the week after we installed the subs, and I was worried about how they would function after 100mph winds and heavy rain. But they haven’t skipped a beat. The outdoor sound is definitely a highlight.”

Powered by Focusrite Group partners Linea Research—via a pair of 88C20 and an 88C06—and with versatile digital processing, this is a sophisticated, fully integrated set-up. Any sound source can be sent to any destination, and there is a generous supply of DJ plug-ins and patch panels, with all areas controlled on an app on their phones. “We have both floors iPad synced and wall panels; because it’s a vinyl hi fi bar upstairs we have analogue and DJ lines coming in and it’s hooked up [to a streaming service] and fully integrated in terms of wireless efficiency.”

This is the first of a number of installations that Beltway Audio Group are presently quoting Martin Audio on as they continue to build their reputation. At the same time they are service agents for a number of local clubs and venues in the DC area that they say already have Martin Audio installed.

LEA Amps Power OHM Fitness

At OHM Fitness, every workout is more than just exercise—it’s an electrifying experience powered by community, motivation, and high energy. To match that intensity, they needed an audio system that could keep up. That’s why they turned to LEA amplifiers, ensuring every beat hits with power and precision.

THE SPEC

🏢 Venue: OHM Fitness | Multiple Locations

👷‍♂️ Integrator: Holocron

🎶 Audio Spaces: Entire Gym

🦈 Product Used: Connect Series 354  (Multiple)

OHM FITNESS

OHM Fitness is a revolutionary fitness studio that combines innovative technology with effective workout programs to help individuals achieve their fitness goals efficiently. Central to their approach is the emPower EMS Suit, a wearable technology that delivers electrical impulses to muscles, activating 90% of major muscle groups during workouts. This method allows participants to experience results three times faster than traditional exercise routines.

THE INSTALL

During a 25-minute OHM fitness class, lighting is synchronized with the video feed to create a fully immersive workout experience. As a workout progresses, lighting changes colors, and instructors intensify the music as the workout becomes more challenging. During cool-down, instructors turn to softer, calming music to help relax members.

OHM FRANCHISE, LLC — headquartered in Arizona with studios nationwide — turned to Randy Stearman, Owner of Arizona-based integrator Holocron LLC, to create a lighting and audio package that could be replicated at every location. Stearman chose the award-winning Connect Series amplifiers from LEA Professional to drive each workout.

“LEA is right in that sweet spot where we have the power requirements, the channel counts, and the super-efficient architecture,” said Stearman. “The ease of integration and flexibility of their amplifiers made them a no-brainer for the AV systems at OHM Fitness.”

Stearman uses LEA Professional Connect Series 354 amplifiers to power four pairs of 8-inch surface-mount loudspeakers situated throughout the studio. The IoT-enabled 4-channel amplifier provides 350 watts per channel, supports Hi-Z (70V or 100V) and Lo-Z selectable by channel, and features Smart Power Bridge technology. With three ways to connect, OHM Fitness can engage the built-in Wi-Fi access point, connect to the facility’s Wi-Fi, or connect to the local area network via Cat5 or Cat6 cable. When combined with the loudspeakers, the amplifier delivers immersive audio to pair with the unique workout experience. 

The Connect Series delivers an industry-first professional amplifier family to feature cloud connectivity, a revolutionary advancement and a significant benefit for anyone maintaining the systems. With LEA Cloud, AV teams can remotely control and monitor the amplifiers regardless of the location or time of day. Whether onsite at any OHM Fitness location or in a home office, controlling the Connect Series amplifiers from afar helps teams work more efficiently, reducing travel and saving time and money. 

THE CONCLUSION

Audio is essential in fitness workouts as it boosts motivation, sets the pace, and enhances the overall experience. Energizing music helps participants push harder, stay focused, and enjoy the workout, while clear instructor cues ensure proper movement and safety. The right sound system creates the perfect atmosphere, whether it’s an upbeat, high-energy class or a calm, meditative session, making audio a vital part of any successful fitness studio. And nowhere is that more evident than in classes at OHM Fitness.

“OHM Fitness is not just a workout studio but a whole experience,” added Stearman. “Everything is unique, right down to the audio, and LEA amps play an important part. They’re easy to use, and the team at LEA is great to work with. They are a fantastic partner.”

A special thanks to the team at Holocron for recommending Connect Series amplifiers to OHM Fitness for this installation. We’re thrilled at the opportunity to collaborate and ensure unparalleled sound quality for many years ahead.

FLEXPOINT THE SOLUTION FOR LATEST ROCK AND BREWS CLASSIC ROCK DINER

The latest roll-out of the Rock & Brews American bar/diner concept, specializing in classic rock, has opened at the Potawatomi Casino Hotel in Carter—the premier gaming and entertainment destination in northern Wisconsin. This follows its success at the nearby Casino Hotel, Milwaukee, where the Potawatomi Tribe first embraced the concept a year earlier.

Both operations feature a heavy deployment of Martin Audio products, installed by Green Bay-based partner, CCCP (Camera Corner). At both sites they were sub-contracted to carry out the installation by principal contractors, Dublin-based Audiotek, who supplied the visual media.

CCCP has a long-standing relationship as AV providers to the Forest County Potawatomi Tribe. CCCP project designer, Scott Tomashek, said the client had been keen to maintain consistency with Martin Audio having been impressed with its performance in Milwaukee, where it had been specified by Audiotek. So successful was the Rock & Brews concept there, that the operators duly decided to convert the restaurant at their Carter site.

“We were pleased to see that a lot of Martin Audio equipment had already been specified by Audiotek, as we have been partners with them for a number of years. Everyone was happy to be working again with a brand with which we were already familiar, and trusted.”

At Potawatomi CasinoHotelCarter, CCCP once again worked closely with architects, I-5 Design. But faced with a smaller 3,000sq. ft. footprint than Milwaukee, with a reduced stage and restricted ceiling height, a change of approach was required. CCCP turned to an alternative flown system other than TORUS which had served them so well in Milwaukee. “FlexPoint became the obvious solution,” Tomashek explained, “and it worked out really well.”

The primary system is the largest FP15—a single box flown left and right with the two subs set adjacent in the center. “This is a relatively compact box that still has plenty of output. And because we had to fly subs directly in front of the stage area, the ability to use the SXC115 cardioid versions meant we could keep some of that low frequency energy off the stage area.”

A pair of FP8 are located on either side of the two large Taylor videowalls. Five additional FP6 and the final pair of FP8 point out from the Rock & Brews restaurant into the main casino area on a delay ring, to attract customers in. “The coverage is excellent,” the installer confirms.

The entire set up is powered by Martin Audio iKON DSP amplifiers; a pair of iK42 are assigned to the main FP15 rig, the SXC115 sub and FP6 fills, while an iK81 powers all six FP8, one per channel.

There is the capability for bands to plug in to a digital console, and a wireless mic audio system can set up for announcements or special events. However, the venue essentially operates a strident, video accompanied ‘classic rock’ playlist “which is why we needed the kind of energy generated by the FP15,” Scott Tomashek continued. In terms of SPL, he says, “it can get way louder in there than they’ll probably ever run it!”

Signal transport is on a Dante backbone sent from the primary DSP core to the Dante-capable Martin Audio iKON amplifiers and the entire system is under master Crestron control. As an alternative to running music content, sports events or TV channels can be fed from the hotel hub.

The FP15 had earlier made its mark at the Milwaukee operation, notably in the ‘Sportsbook’ venue, where Audiotek provided a massive 116ft x 18ft LED screen for sports betting. Elsewhere in the casino further Martin Audio speakers include CDD, Blackline and TORUS.

For both projects Martin Audio’s DISPLAY3 optimization software was used. Says Scott Tomashek , “FlexPoint has been so easy to set up and tune, and the presets are really good in the [iKON] amplifiers. That really helps to maximize our time‚ which is extremely important as the AV team is always the last in when timelines and deadlines are getting very compressed. To have a product I can set up really quickly and get really good results from is vital.”

DISPLAY’s compatibility with SketchUp provided a further boost. “It’s been great to get SketchUp models of these rooms directly from the architect so we could drop the speakers right into that design and know they were going to work the way we needed.”

Finally Scott Tomashek, who co-commissioned the system with the Crestron programmer, praised Martin Audio’s Martha Callaghan for her support. “Relationship is important to us, and we want to work with companies that value the relationship as much as we do, and that’s certainly something that we’ve found with Martin Audio.”

Optimal Audio Party Series Transforms Hangzhou XJ Music BBQ into an Immersive Audio Experience

In the vibrant city of Hangzhou, XJ Electronic Music Bar has quickly become a popular nightlife destination for young people, thanks to its unique electronic music culture and immersive experience.

Optimal Audio, a leader in the audio field, is renowned for its dedication to sound quality and advanced audio technology. With the installation of Optimal Audio’s Party series professional sound system at Hangzhou’s XJ Electronic Music Bar, a new music and dining experience has been born.

Serving as the main output in the system, two Party15 main speakers deliver powerful output and precise audio tuning, ensuring every beat is full of energy and every melody is clear, bringing the live electronic party atmosphere directly into the bar. To provide more uniform coverage, the bar is also equipped with four Party12 auxiliary speakers, ensuring every subtle note dances in the air. The excellent surround sound effect makes customers feel enveloped by music, immersing them in a comprehensive musical world. The soul of electronic music lies in the impact of low frequencies, and the SUB15 subwoofers perfectly meet this demand. These two subwoofers not only seamlessly connect the frequency response range of the main and auxiliary speakers but also make the audience feel an adrenaline rush with every bass “resonance.”

The collaboration between Optimal Audio and XJ Electronic Music Bar has not only brought customers an ultimate music experience but also set a new benchmark for the electronic music bar industry. In the future entertainment market, as consumers’ demand for high-quality entertainment experiences continues to increase, XJ Electronic Music Bar will continue to leverage Optimal Audio’s professional technical support to innovate and upgrade.

Optimal Audio’s support for Hangzhou’s XJ Electronic Music Bar has not only provided music enthusiasts with their own carnival space but also brought new insights to the entire entertainment industry: professional audio equipment and innovative scene design are key to creating immersive entertainment experiences.

The Party series speakers are designed to provide excellent sound, emphasizing warmth, clarity, and smooth response, supporting the vocal presence needed to enhance the karaoke experience. Each stylishly designed Party enclosure offers impressive bass and midrange, with clarity in vocal and high-frequency projection crucial for discerning karaoke performers.

For some KTV rooms where space or constraints do not support subwoofers, the Party series speakers use rear ports to couple their low-frequency output to walls or ceilings, producing enhanced bass output that can be felt without additional subwoofers.

Optimal Audio’s Amp series is the perfect amplifier partner for the Party series, providing hours of high sound pressure levels, while internal crossover network technology protects low and high-frequency drivers, ensuring a reliable and uninterrupted karaoke experience.
