HARMAN Professional Solutions’ AKG, JBL, Crown and dbx brands help power
the live outdoor space
JAKARTA, INDONESIA - Lippo Mall Kemang, located in Jakarta, is a new playground for style,
taste and fun. Recently opened to cater to the working crowd and residences
within the vicinity, the mall sets itself apart from its competitors with a live
performance space called the “Avenue of Stars” arena.
The arena features entertainment seven days a
week, offering different genres of music each night. The entertainment is also
complemented by al fresco cafes and restaurants, located within the arena, to
offer dining options for shoppers.
It was important that the sound system installed
within the arena met certain criteria, such as, good sound coverage with no
spill-over into other areas, powerful yet quality audio that brought out the
vocals of the entertainers in a positive way and the ability to sound great no
matter what type of music genre is being played.
Working together with the Lippo Mall designers
and technical team, HARMAN’s Indonesia partner, CSA Indonesia, was able to
understand the requirements and then design and provide the sound system,
centered on HARMAN solutions, that best met all their criteria.
The live entertainment system features JBL’s
Vertec speakers that ensure frequency response is enhanced for a variety of
audio needs. The main sound reinforcement system is comprised of JBL VT4887A
compact 3-way line array elements, complemented by JBL’s VT4881A single 18”
subwoofers. This combination delivers high-quality, full-range sound
appropriate for both musical and speech applications.
Complementing the main PA set-up is the JBL
SRX828 SP 18” Dual Self-Powered Subwoofer system that offers full user
configurable DSP, and with the incorporation of the V5 JBL Tunings, provides
compatibility with the Vertec system. JBL’s Vertec system offers highly
advanced performance in a reduced system size with easy set-up.
JBL PRX712 and JBL PRX715 speakers were also
added for their versatility. They can be used as front of house main PA if
needed, but for this configuration, are used as floor monitors for the
performers. The speakers are driven by
Crown MA5000i power amplifiers that feature patented, cutting-edge Class-I
circuitry that gets more power out of an amplifier with higher efficiency.
Working in tandem with the sound reinforcement
system is the AKG WMS470 wireless microphone system, which ensures intelligible
and pristine vocals. The microphones can operate up to 14 hours with just one
AA-size lithium battery due to revolutionary power management. Providing all
the processing, flexibility and control of the systems is the DriveRack
dbx4800.
The PA system has helped the mall gain
compliments from musicians and shoppers who have experienced the live
performances in the arena.
“We have had a great experience with the HARMAN
set-up. Our artists and performers are very happy and comfortable with the
system and the whole musical experience it provides to the audience,” said
Deni, the mall’s Operational Manager.
“We are privileged to provide a total system that not only meets the needs
of the Lippo Mall, but also enhances the experience of the customers as well.
The installation is an example of how our different solutions all work
harmoniously together and offer a dependable, robust and most importantly, high-quality
system. We are thrilled that HARMAN was able to meet the mall’s high
expectations, as well as keep in line with the requirements of the performers,
and thereby enhance customer experiences in the Avenue of Stars at Lippo Mall,”
said Ramesh Jayaraman, VP & GM, HARMAN Professional Solutions, APAC.
