The Hilton Kuala Lumpur hotel’s grand and junior ballroom, as well as its meeting room, have replaced their audio system with a new set-up powered by Powersoft’s Mezzo, Duecanali and Quattrocanali amplifiers. The luxury hotel, located in the Malaysian capital’s transportation hub in the vibrant Kuala Lumpur Sentral area, wanted to refresh the sound system in its newly renovated function spaces.
After winning the tender, Concept Audio chose Powersoft’s Mezzo, Duecanali and Quattrocanali amplifiers to play a central role in the audio overhaul. Castrit Lim Lit Seong, managing director of Concept Audio, and his team revamped the 565sqm grand ballroom, the junior ballroom and the meeting rooms. The integration within the rooms was done separately.
The team relied on three Powersoft’s Duecanali 1604 DSP+D, one Quattrocanali 1204 DSP+D and Duecanali 804 DSP+D, to power the Grand Ballroom.
In the Junior Ballroom, used for team building activities or small gatherings, Seong and his team installed four Mezzo 602AD. Meanwhile, the Hilton’s meeting room is powered by one Mezzo 322 AD.
Accompanying the Powersoft amplifiers in the Grand Ballroom are 18 Tannoy CMS 1201DCT, 16 Tannoy CMS 503IC, six Tannoy CMS 503ICT and four Tannoy CVS 4 ceiling speakers. In the Junior Ballroom, Concept Audio also installed 12 Tannoy CMS 803DC BM and 10 Tannoy CMS 503ICT ceiling speakers. Mezzo powers ten Tannoy CMS 803DC BM ceiling speakers in the meeting room.
According to Seong, the amplifiers platforms’ flexible output capabilities enabled a reduction in the number of units required, resulting in a substation cost savings for the client.
He said: “Mezzo amplifiers offer the versatility to seamlessly convert analogue inputs to network audio, eliminating the necessity for additional network audio input hardware.”
Seong said the installation process was smooth, with Powersoft amplifiers easily integrating with the ceiling speakers in various rooms within the hotel. He commented: “The newly installed system is easy to control, stable and has allowed for the hotel to save on equipment costs.”
