When Topgolf in Jakarta, Indonesia set out to redefine how people engage with the sport, Connect Series amplifiers stepped up to ensure that every beat, announcement, and celebration is heard with precision. Whether you’re teeing off, toasting with friends, or soaking in the lively atmosphere, LEA’s cutting-edge audio technology amplifies the excitement at every turn. 
THE SPEC
Venue: Topgolf | Jakarta, Indonesia
Integrator: PT Albeta Sukses Mandiri
Audio Spaces: Entire Facility
Product Used: Connect Series Topgolf Jakarta
Topgolf Jakarta’s 9-acre complex is redefining how people engage with golf, offering an innovative blend of microchipped golf balls, interactive targets, and a lively atmosphere filled with food, drinks, and music. Spanning three levels, the venue features 102 hitting bays, three restaurants, four bars, several entertainment zones, and dedicated spaces for corporate and VIP events—attracting a diverse audience looking for competition and social fun.
The Install
Jakarta-based AV systems integrator PT Albeta Sukses Mandiri was contracted to install the AV systems based on their extensive regional experience. The scale of the site, new technology, and the multinational nature of the operation proved to be exciting challenges they faced head-on.
“This was our first installation with LEA Professional amplifiers,” said William Gendri, project manager at PT Albeta Sukses Mandiri. “We were very impressed with the amplifiers’ feature sets, including the fact you only need Wi-Fi to connect to the web browser. Plus, the WebUI software was very intuitive.”
Gendri’s team mounted four-column loudspeakers in the sports bar, and a daisy-chained network of surface-mount loudspeakers was ceiling-mounted along the corridor connecting the outdoor bays to minimize audio spillover between the individual bays. Pendant loudspeakers cover zones such as the specialty bar and the outdoor dining area, while landscape loudspeakers and subwoofers reinforce the outdoor range. Ceiling loudspeakers provide background music in more peripheral zones.
PT Albeta Sukses Mandiri installed multiple Connect Series 352 and Connect Series 704 amplifiers to power the immersive audio experience in the venue. The CS352 is a 2-channel amplifier with 350 watts per channel, while the CS704 is a 4-channel amplifier that outputs 700 watts per channel. All Connect Series amplifiers are professional-grade IoT-enabled smart amplifiers for any sized installation, support Hi-Z (70V or 100V) and Lo-Z selectable by channel, and feature Smart Power Bridge technology. With three ways to connect, the venue can engage the built-in Wi-Fi access point, connect to the Wi-Fi, or connect to the local area network via Cat5 or Cat6 cable.
The CS352s power the loudspeakers in the sports bar and the dividable social room, while the CS704s power the remaining loudspeakers.
In addition to enhancing the customer experience, ease of use and futureproofing were underlying design parameters for Gendri and his team. “The technicians can manage and control all the audio parameters via LEA’s WebUI,” he explained. “LEA’s amplifiers can also be managed and configured from a PC or a wireless touchscreen when connected to the venue’s existing Wi-Fi network.”
THE CONCLUSION
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, Gendri’s team can remotely control and monitor the amplifiers regardless of the location or time of day.
“We can troubleshoot most problems remotely now, which is great,” said Gendri. “If there is a fault, we immediately receive an alert. For example, if a speaker is physically damaged, we can notify the onsite service manager about the faulty speaker and have them check out the problem. We’re very happy with LEA amplifiers and are excited to use them in the future.”
A special thanks to the team at PT Albeta Sukses Mandiri for recommending Connect Series amplifiers to Topgolf Jakarta for this installation. We’re thrilled at the opportunity to collaborate and ensure unparalleled sound quality for many years ahead.
