The Hilton Singapore Orchard was unveiled earlier this year following a $150-million makeover. To ensure a complete hospitality experience throughout the property, the Hilton Singapore Orchard management chose to install L-Acoustics audio solutions for the two main ballrooms.
Local L-Acoustics Certified Provider, Concept Systems Technologies participated in a bid-for-tender process and won the contract for the audio system upgrade.
Concept Systems used Soundvision 3D modelling software to design two bespoke systems for the 810-capacity Grand Ballroom, and the 240-capacity Junior Ballroom.
Both ballrooms host a variety of events including government affairs, corporate seminars and dinners, brand product launches, and weddings. This range of events called for systems that deliver high SPL for music and other dynamic entertainment content.
C.K. Lim, project manager at Concept Systems explained: “Soundvision allowed my team to provide the client with a visual representation of our proposed system designs. Along with SPL and coverage data, we were able to support the proposal by showing that results were in line with the client’s key objectives.” The system designs were then reviewed and approved by L-Acoustics APAC application engineers.
In the 1,058 sq m Grand Ballroom, four hangs of two L-Acoustics A10i each, installed across the front of the ballroom provide even coverage, with two ground stacks of two KS21i subwoofers providing low-end definition. In the 480 sq m Junior Ballroom, two hangs of two L-Acoustics X12 were sufficient for the smaller function space, with two hanging SB15m subwoofers providing a low-end.
A representative from the Hilton said: “The ballroom project was delivered brilliantly by the team at Concept Systems. They provided a modern, new system and delivered excellent technical consultancy as an official L-Acoustics partner. We felt confident from the pre-installation phase, right up to system testing phase. L-Acoustics solutions provide pristine sound for all our guests, from wedding parties and corporate brand directors to highly respected government ministers.”
