Melodia brings Outline to Ciputra World mall ballroom
Published: ASIA
INDONESIA: Melodia Sound & Lighting Systems recently supplied an Outline sound reinforcement system to Surabaya’s Ciputra World mall for its fourth-floor ballroom.
Melodia supplied a main PA system comprised of 12 Outline Mini-Compass line arrays and four DBS 18-2 iSP amplified subwoofers – complete with iMode technology – in addition to a BSS Audio FDS-366T loudspeaker management system, a 64-channel Soundcraft Vi1 digital mixing console, and eight Yamaha DSR112 active DSP-controlled full range speakers. The project took approximately three months to complete.
‘The client selected Outline’s Mini-Compass arrays as they were impressed with the specifications and features, along with its sound quality,’ explained Melodia Sound & Lighting Systems’ owner, Rudy Winarto. ‘They were also impressed with a previous Mini-Compass installation project that we completed.
‘The Outline system fulfils their need for a high end loudspeaker system that is simple, compact, portable and reliable,’ he continued. ‘They were also impressed with its active built-in amp, its DSP, and its iMode technology. We can control the system by using an iPad from anywhere within the venue, and its horizontal coverage may be adjusted from very narrow, to very wide.'
Challenges with this project included the short distance from the stage to the front row where the audience would sit. The client also did not want to invest in an amp rack that would take up a lot of space within the ballroom. ‘They also wanted the subs to be hung to save space, and to have an equal low frequency covering all areas of the room,’ Mr Winarto explained.
‘This was challenging for us as this space started from zero and was built into what you see now, next to a fourth floor parking lot,’ he added. ‘However, the client seems very satisfied and happy with the audio system, and they are very proud to be part of an Outline installation project.’
