INDONESIA: The system was installed by the French manufacturer’s partner in Indonesia, PT Gracia Auvindo. Applications manager Nazar Nazwan noted the region’s weather poses significant challenges for outdoor installations: “With intense tropical downpours and humidity levels that can damage standard equipment, we needed a system with exceptional durability without sacrificing sound quality. The IP55-rated A10i was the perfect match for these demanding conditions.”

At the heart of the 22-hectare park is the 500-seat outdoor theatre which hosts the daily Lila Show musical – an educational performance about nature conservation featuring choreographed dancers and actors. This centrepiece attraction required audio that could withstand daily operation in challenging conditions while blending with the natural aesthetics of the venue. 

Following the testing of multiple sound system’s Gracia Auvindo's L-Acoustics A10i solution was chosen by park management for its combination of weather resistance, sonic clarity and discreet visual profile.

“We worked meticulously with the venue's artistic team to camouflage the entire system within the natural elements of the stage,” said Nazwan. “The compact form factor of the A10i allowed us to integrate the speakers into the stage's forest-inspired design elements – hiding technology while enhancing the captivating experience.” 

The system comprises two A10i Focus over one A10i Wide per side, with four KS21i subwoofers flown in the middle for extended low-frequency impact. The entire setup is powered by two LA4X amplified controllers.

Soundvision software was leveraged to ensure uniform coverage across the semi-circular seating arrangement. According to Nazwan, the software proved critical not only for acoustic performance but also for navigating the structural integration with the venue's natural elements. “We had to consider both the technical requirements and aesthetic goals,” he explained. “The system needed to deliver powerful, clear sound while appearing to grow naturally from the stage environment."

The cabinets’ IP55 rating provides protection against dust ingress and low-pressure water jets from any direction – ensuring the system maintains performance through Indonesia's rainy seasons and high humidity.

“Visitors are completely transported into the mystical forest world of the Lila Show without visual distractions from obvious technology," said Nazwan. “Yet the sound envelops them with exceptional clarity and impact – essential for theatrical performances that blend music, narration and choreographed dance routines in this unique outdoor setting.”

According to Gracia Auvindo, the Taman Safari management are so pleased with the system that they are considering L-Acoustics for other venue developments within the theme park. “They're impressed not just with the audio performance, but with how the entire system withstands our challenging climate while enhancing rather than distracting from the natural experience they've created,” concluded Nazwan.
