INDONESIA: Understanding a
client’s needs can often be the
best referral for future contracts, as
CSA Indonesia can testify. Having
successfully designed, supplied and
installed a sound reinforcement
system on a strict budget into Gold’s
Gym in the Indonesian city of Citos,
the Jakarta-based Harman Pro
distributor has now been awarded a
lucrative contract to out t a further
10 gyms across Java.
‘The owner was unhappy with
the quality of the previous system
following customer complaints
ranging from poor sound distribution
to uneven dispersion,’ revealed
project manager Amir Santoso. ‘We
have gained a lot of experience
having installed systems into similar
environments such as Fitness First
and with our product range we knew
what the owner required.’
A dbx ZonePRO 1260M now allows
the gym instructors to manage the
source or volume control in the six
contrasting zones via the ZC-6 wall
mounted zone controllers, which are
networked to the ZonePRO 1260M
via Cat-5 cabling.
‘It’s important to match the mood
of the tness programme being
instructed in each zone, so whilst
the aerobics and cycle rooms require
higher SPLs to motivate those
working out there, the yoga room
and reception areas require gentle
ambience,’ furthered Mr Santoso.
‘With the ZonePRO 1260M, the
instructors can select their source
but more than often simply plug in
an iPod, play whatever they want
and adjust the volume via the ZC-6
controllers.’
Golds Gym in Citos was recently outfitted with a new sound
system by the Harman Pro distributor CSA
A combination of JBL PRX412M,
MRX518S and Control 25AV
speakers provide the sound
reinforcement in the Aerobics Room
Whilst a passive wall-mounted
system consisting of JBL PRX412M
speakers and MRX518 subwoofers
serve the aerobics room, an active
loudspeaker solution comprising
PRX712 cabinets and PRX718
subwoofers provide more pedal
power to the cyclists. Both rooms
are further complemented by JBL
Control 25AV speakers and SB210
subwoofers to ensure even coverage.
The reception area is equipped
with an AKG DST99 microphone for
simple paging announcements and
the ambience in this area and the
yoga room has been matched with
JBL Control C50 speakers.
‘The ceilings are made of concrete
and we were restricted in many
ways as to where we could suspend
speakers,’ explained Mr Santoso. ‘We
certainly could not provide a ceiling
mounted solution and the Cat-5
cabling routing the ZonePro 1260M
to the various zone controllers could
not be channelled into conduits
through it. However, the ceiling
and wall mounted speakers which
are all routed to the Crown NXLS,
XTi and CDi ampli ers in a central
server room provide great coverage.
In addition, we have managed to
provide low pro le speakers which
don’t disrupt the aesthetic qualities
whilst providing low frequencies
down to 40Hz.’
