Asia’s first hyperclub, FVTURE is built on the sixth floor of Bravo Mall on the RCA strip. The 6,000-capacity venue combines an L-Acoustics L2 professional sound system with over 1,000 sq m of LED environment to create a full-spectrum sensory experience. The opening night headlined by Ukrainian DJ duo ARTBAT drew a capacity crowd and announced the venue’s arrival.
The project is the work of co-founders Victor and Michele Wang. The ambition was to build a home for international touring acts and Thailand’s vibrant electronic music community. Audio was not an afterthought in that brief. It was a foundation of it.
The Wangs chose L-Acoustics Certified Provider Vision One during the earliest stages of development to lead the audio integration.
Akarat ‘Pete’ Thitipattakul, business development manager at Vision One, said: “Victor Wang regularly visits the world’s leading clubs, and L-Acoustics is what he’s heard in the rooms that set the standard. When he came to us with the brief for FVTURE, the decision to use L-Acoustics was already made in his mind. He knew the sound he wanted, because he’d experienced it.”
Wang’s brief was straightforward but uncompromising: the latest technology, exceptional sound quality, uniform coverage and high output across a converted multipurpose hall, with a system discrete enough to complement the venue’s extensive video. Essentially, deliver the same impact sonically as visually.
The team modelled a range of system configurations against the venue geometry, evaluating SPL distribution, coverage uniformity and target levels throughout the room. L series was the system that met the brief.
Akarat says: “Given the scale and shape of the room, L2 delivered the uniformity and SPL consistency the venue required. That was further reinforced by the proven performance of L series at UNVRS in Ibiza. Wang had referenced UNVRS in his brief, and the fact that the world’s first hyperclub had made L2 its system of choice carried real weight in the decision.”
The L-Acoustics application team worked closely with Vision One throughout that design process, helping to optimise the Soundvision model for real-world deployment. That collaboration gave the installation team confidence in the design well before work began on site. Akarat explains: “Soundvision allowed us to accurately predict performance across the entire space. It ensured we could propose the optimal configuration based on calculated performance rather than estimation.”
That same support continued through to commissioning, where the application team assisted with networking integration on site.
The final deployment comprises left and right hangs of two L2 and one L2D per side, delivering the power, precision and coverage uniformity that the venue demands. Low-frequency performance, a priority for a space of this scale and programming, is addressed by a combination of eight KS28 are ground-stacked with a further eight KS28 flown, four per side. Additionally, two KS21 are also ground-stacked in the VIP area providing low frequency extension.
Front-fill coverage is handled by four A10 Focus, ensuring the energy reaches every corner of the floor. The backstage VIP area is served by a dedicated hang of two A10 Focus and two A10 Wide per side, keeping the premium experience consistent for guests positioned behind the stage. The venue’s five VIP room suites, a key part of FVTURE’s premium hospitality offer, each have two X6i, with the largest suite served by two X8i instead.
The DJ and stage monitor system comprises ground stacks of six Kara II and four SB18, supported by two X12. The entire system is driven by six LA7.16 and five LA12X amplified controllers, with four LA4X and three LA2Xi handling the fills and VIP zones. System optimisation is managed with a single P1 processor at the heart of the signal chain, with Milan-AVB audio and control distributed through five LS10 switches.
FVTURE has earned praise from engineers, guests and management since its opening night. Engineers describe the system as powerful, refined and highly reliable. And with proper training and remote system access configured by the installation team, daily operation has been smooth from day one.
Feedback from the dancefloor has been equally strong, with reviewers who attended the opening night describing a room where the scale of the sound matched the scale of the space, and where ARTBAT’s performance was experienced the way it was designed to be heard. For a venue whose brief was to rival the world’s greatest clubs, that verdict is exactly what the founders were building toward.
For Akarat and the Vision One team, for whom FVTURE was their first L series installation, the project was a milestone in its own right. He says: “We’ve demonstrated L2’s power, clarity and remarkable uniformity. We are proud that this system has met our client’s expectations and is positioning Bangkok as a serious destination for electronic music.”
The founders put it plainly at launch: “FVTURE is a statement of intent. Bangkok has long deserved a venue that stands alongside the global greats and that’s exactly what we’ve built.”
