Since opening earlier in the year, luxury supper club Black Owl has taken PIK Golf Island in Northern Jakarta by storm with its high-end dining and entertainment experience. At the heart of its music-focused offering is a Funktion-One sound system installed by PT Electro Audio Engineering.
Owned and operated by Murino Berjaya Indonesia, the 1,000m2 space has been designed to give guests uninterrupted views of the stage from anywhere in the venue. The performance area and its captivating LED backdrop are the focal point of the main room, where the entertainment programme combines a mix of live music and DJ performances.
‘We had installed a different brand system for the group around four or five years ago, when they were still at a smaller venue in Jakarta,’ explains PT Electro Audio Engineering's Linson Sugianto. ‘When they grew, they wanted something that would soundy amazing, and would make them the top lounge/nightclub destination in Jakarta and Indonesia in general. So, we recommended Funktion-One and they were very, very impressed.’
Black Owl’s new sound system uses two pairs of Funktion-One Evo 6E with Evo 6EL mid/bass reinforcement, flown stage left and right. The Evo 6EL supplements the Evo 6E cabinets to provide additional mid-bass headroom, which is especially useful for flown installations. A row of four F221 bass enclosures deliver punchy and involving low end from stage front and F1201s and BR118s provide coverage in the peripheries.
‘The system sounds big and powerful, with very low distortion and excellent clarity,’ Sugianto says. ‘The owners have been very supportive of the project and have allowed the budget to get the best quality – quite rare in Indonesia.’
‘We are extremely satisfied with the Funktion-One Evo system installed at Black Owl PIK Golf Island Jakarta,’ says a spokesperson for Murino Berjaya Indonesia. ‘This system elevates the standards of lounge/club in Indonesia for the future. Black Owl PIK Golf Island Jakarta is certainly a barometer for the next standard for Indonesian lounge/club sound quality moving forward.’
