The latest addition to the vibrant nightlife of Pantai Indah Kapuk (PIK) in Jakarta, the Mantra Club makes a bold statement with its stunning décor and a state-of-the-art sound from KV2 Audio.
Having turned to integration company Music Art to deliver an audio system in line with their high expectations, Club owner and nightlife destination specialist, the Satulapan Group, quickly accepted the recommendation of a KV2 installation and the support of KV2’s Indonesian distributor, PT Goshen Swara Indonesia.
The Mantra Club aims to provide an exceptional music experience, including high-octane DJ sets and live performances. The brief was, therefore, for an audio system capable of delivering high SPL with minimum distortion for a high-energy yet non-fatiguing audio experience. Following a demo at Goshen’s demo facility in font of both the end client and the integrator, Music Art designed and installed a system based on KV2 loudspeakers that transitions between DJ sets and live performances, and is capable of serving a variety of musical genres.
The system features KV2 Audio VHD2.0, VHD1.0, and VHD4.18 loudspeakers, powered by VHD2000 and VHD3200 amplifiers. The customer specifically asked for a clean area on the main stage, which has 11m ceilings – with the KV2 option requiring fewer cabinets to deliver the same performance as a line array system. Consequently, the VHD2.0/VHD1.0 system is a flown LR configuration with subs discreetly groundstacked, which has very little visual impact on the stage. Several KV2 EX12 loudspeakers serve as side fills, delays and DJ monitors, ensuring a cohesive audio experience throughout, whether for ambient evenings or high-energy concerts and DJ sets.
According to Goshen’s Franky Cahyadi, the KV2 system has delivered on all fronts – even exceeding expectations: ‘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,’ he recalls. ‘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.’
