The audio system in the Hilton Kuala Lumpur hotel’s grand and junior ballroom, as well as its meeting room, have been replaced, with a new set-up powered by Powersoft’s Mezzo, Duecanali and Quattrocanali amplifiers.
The hotel, located in the Malaysian capital’s transportation hub in the Kuala Lumpur Sentral area, wanted to refresh the sound system in order to have high-quality and clear sounding audio 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, selected to meet the diverse requirements of each venue within the hotel.
Castrit Lim Lit Seong, managing director of Concept Audio and his team revamped multiple areas of the Hilton hotel, including the 565m² Grand Ballroom, the Junior Ballroom and the meeting rooms, with a focus on delivering clear and crisp audioy. “The integration within the rooms was done separately,” he explains. “We 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. The Hilton’s meeting room is powered by one Mezzo 322 AD. Powersoft’s Mezzo series offer reliability and the same build quality in a half-rack-unit form factor, and AD versions of Mezzo add audio networking capabilities with DanteTM/AES67 and an internal Gigabit Ethernet switch with a second port so that multiple products can share the same network.
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.
