KV2 has provided the audio for the Mantra Club, the latest addition to the vibrant nightlife of Pantai Indah Kapuk (PIK) in Jakarta, Indonesia. Club owners and nightlife destination specialists, the Satulapan Group, turned to integration experts, Music Art, to deliver an audio system and the company recommended KV2.
Music Art designed a sound system featuring advanced components from KV2 Audio, including VHD2.0, VHD1.0, and VHD4.18 speakers, powered by VHD2000 and VHD3200 amplifiers. The customer specifically asked for a clean area on the main stage, which has 11m ceilings – hence KV2 was chosen as it requires fewer cabinets to deliver the same performance as a line array system.
Consequently, the VHD2.0/VHD1.0 system was flown L and R with subs discreetly groundstacked, which has very little visual impact on the stage. Several EX12 loudspeakers serve as sidefills, delay lines and DJ monitors. The intention is to ensure a cohesive audio experience, whether for ambient evenings or high-energy concerts and DJ sets.
Mantra Club’s goal is to support “high-octane” DJ sets and live performances. The brief was therefore to design a high-quality audio system capable of delivering high SPL with minimum distortion for a high-energy, yet non-fatiguing audio experience.
Music Art designed and installed the audio system from KV2 following a visit by the club owners to the demo facility of KV2’s Indonesian distributor, PT Goshen Swara Indonesia.
Franky Cahyadi, sales and marketing director, Goshen, said: “High SPL and low distortion were key criteria for Mantra, as was smooth, even coverage and crystal-clear sound for live music and DJ performances. After the opening night, the client was thrilled – he said the price-to-performance ratio was amazing, the system definitely delivered beyond his expectations. It’s everything he wanted and more.”
