Topgolf Jakarta aims to help grow the game of golf among younger and non-traditional players. For this purpose amplifiers from LEA Professional were deployed at the facility to create the experience.
Topgolf Jakarta’s 9-acre complex includes 102 hitting bays spread across three levels, three restaurants, four bars, several entertainment zones, and dedicated spaces for corporate and VIP events. Jakarta-based AV systems integrator PT Albeta Sukses Mandiri was contracted to install the AV systems.
William Gendri, project manager at PT Albeta Sukses Mandiri, said: “This was our first installation with LEA Professional amplifiers. We were very impressed with the amplifiers’ feature sets, including the fact you only need Wi-Fi to connect to the web browser. Plus, the WebUI software was very intuitive.”
Gendri's team mounted four column loudspeakers in the sports bar, and a daisy-chained network of surface-mount loudspeakers was ceiling-mounted along the corridor connecting the outdoor bays to minimise audio spillover between the individual bays. Pendant loudspeakers cover zones such as the specialty bar and the outdoor dining area, while landscape loudspeakers and subwoofers reinforce the outdoor range. Ceiling loudspeakers provide background music in more peripheral zones.
PT Albeta Sukses Mandiri installed multiple Connect series 352 and Connect series 704 amplifiers to power the immersive audio experience in the venue.
The CS352s power the loudspeakers in the sports bar and the dividable social room, while the CS704s power the remaining loudspeakers.
In addition to enhancing the customer experience, ease of use and futureproofing were underlying design parameters for Gendri and his team. He explained: “The technicians can manage and control all the audio parameters via LEA’s WebUI. LEA’s amplifiers can also be managed and configured from a PC or a wireless touchscreen when connected to the venue’s existing Wi-Fi network.”
With LEA Cloud, Gendri’s team can remotely control and monitor the amplifiers regardless of the location or time of day. Gendri said: “We can troubleshoot most problems remotely now, which is great. If there is a fault, we immediately receive an alert. For example, if a speaker is physically damaged, we can notify the onsite service manager about the faulty speaker and have them check out the problem. We’re very happy with LEA amplifiers and are excited to use them in the future.”
