INDONESIA: The 1,500-capacity super club NOYA x 80PROFF has just opened in Jakarta’s PIK2 coastal township and boasts the first L-Acoustics K2 system in Indonesia. Seeking to set a new standard in the region’s club scene, NOYA places a focus on immersing its patrons with a combination of top-tier technology, including 3D visuals, concert-level sound systems and an extensive remit of lighting technology.

The mammoth venue features one large square main club space measuring 41m x 33m x 9m (DxWxH). NOYA boasts a unique concept, offering a live show with singers, dancers and a DJ from 9:30pm. Then at midnight, a DJ takes the reins until the venue closes in the early hours of the morning. “As the club features a multipurpose concept, with live shows and DJ performances, we proposed L-Acoustics' K Series and A Series which offer that same sonic experience as the Tomorrowland festival and is powerful enough to fill the large space.”

To ensure the vast space was acoustically sound, a separate acoustic consultant was engaged, leaving Gracia Auvindo to focus on the installation of the system, which began with designs in the Soundvision modelling software. 

“Using Soundvision made everything much easier for us,” added Halim. “We were able to create a precise audio design for the venue, including the mechanics, weight of the speakers, and where they would be positioned, which we then presented to the club owner and to the construction teams onsite.”

Following the Soundvision predictions, the team ultimately chose a setup of 18 K2 boxes as main L-R hangs beside the stage, supplemented in the lower frequencies by 16 KS28 as the main subwoofers. As the audience is 180° around the side of the stage, four KS21 units were installed as wing subs to cover the sides. Six A15 cabinets, four focus and two wide, have been implemented for out fills, complemented by eight A10 Focus loudspeakers which deliver front fill. Monitoring for the DJs is covered by two KS21 and two ARCS II DJ monitors in a pair. The entire system is driven by 15 LA12x and two LA4X amplified controllers run on the P1 AVB processor and six LS10 switches. In addition, a Midas Heritage console was deployed for FOH and an M32 was implemented for monitoring.

According to Halim, a problem the team faced was the careful coordination with the lighting and LED equipment. “NOYA installed over 1,600 lighting fixtures and there are LED screens all over the club, including a very large one at the centre of the stage. This required a lot of coordination between the contractors, LED team and lighting teams, working around each other.” 

After launching just last weekend, the club has already hosted two packed-out nights, including its opening ceremony featuring reportedly the “largest lighting show in Southeast Asia”, with more than 1,000 fixtures and dozens of lasers. This was followed by a special performance the next night from Melbourne DJ Timmy Trumpet.
