Movenpick Hotel & Convention Center KLIA Delivers Five-Star Experience with Harman Professional Solutions Mahajak Trio, partnering with system integrator LTHT Engineering SDN BHD recently outfitted Kuala Lumpur's Movenpick Hotel & Convention Center KLIA with an array of sound reinforcement solutions by Harman Professional Solutions. Located just a few minutes from Kuala Lumpur International Airport and the F1 Sepang International Circuit, Movenpick Hotel & Convention Center KLIA is a newly opened upscale five-star hotel. In addition to 333 private rooms, a health and wellness center, a lobby lounge, and two specialty restaurants, the property features a 280,000-sq.-ft. convention center, which consists of a large ballroom, an exhibition hall, multi-function spaces, and meeting rooms. In order to ensure a five-star audio experience for the wide range of areas throughout the hotel and convention center, management hired LTHT and Mahajak Trio to install customized audio solutions for each environment. Mahajak Trio selected a complete Harman networked audio solution for its renowned sound quality, versatility, and ease of use. "Achieving sharp audio clarity is one of the crucial tenets of any convention center. In our opinion, Harman offers comprehensive audio solutions that create an impact and communicate with the show attendees of Movenpick. The versatility of Harman's solutions provides the much-expected, high-impact sound reinforcement at the professional entertainment events," said IR Ahmad Mazli Hj. Maaroff, director, Perunding Hassim & Neh SDN BHD. "Creating value in an elegant environment depends on more than just décor and lighting -- quality sound plays a vital role in creating positive first impressions. To tackle the ever-evolving requirements of a convention center, a technology that can quickly adapt to the changing needs of the center was required," said YC Tan, project director, LTHT Engineering SDN BHD. "We asked Mahajak Trio to provide us with a robust audio solution to support a wide range of events and functions. The Harman systems they supplied are versatile enough to handle all of our needs while offering style and substance, creating a new level of comfort and luxury for our guests. And, when an event calls for it, the Harman system in the ballroom packs a terrific sonic punch, thrilling audiences with the excitement of a compelling performance." Events held in the main ballroom benefit from the extraordinary power handling and clarity of JBL. The main hall was fitted with the VTX V20 system powered by Crown ITHD amplifiers. The hall was divided into three smaller adaptable partitions, each equipped with the VRX932LA-1, a portable sound reinforcement system. The VRX932LA-1 is a compact 12" two-way line array speaker system designed for use in arrays. The PRX812W speakers provide exceptional flexibility as stage monitors and fill speakers, and their built-in Wi-Fi technology makes it easy to tune the system for different configurations via the free PRX Connect app. Mahajak selected AKG WMS470 wireless lavalier and handheld microphone sets to ensure optimum intelligibility and reliable multichannel wireless performance for events of any size. For mixing, Mahajak supplied the main ballroom with a Soundcraft Vi1 digital live sound console for its comprehensive I/O and user-friendly workflow, while Soundcraft EFX 12 compact mixers deliver high quality mixes in the meeting rooms, restaurants, and pool areas. To seamlessly integrate high quality audio into the elegant hotel and convention space, Mahajak Trio selected a range of JBL Professional loudspeakers. Mahajak outfitted the pre-function hall and meeting rooms with JBL Control 328CT and Control 16CT ceiling speakers, while Control 23-1, Control 25-1 and Control 16 C/T speakers were installed in the restaurants and pool areas. Mahajak utilized JBL CBT50, Control 25-1 and Control 88M speakers to deliver high quality audio in the central corridor and building exterior. All speakers are powered by Crown I-Tech HD Series amplifiers and networked using BSS Soundweb London signal processors. "We understand that audio systems play an integral role in the overall aesthetic of an elegant space like the Movenpick Hotel & Convention Center KLIA," said David Yap, CEO, Mahajak Trio. "When we were asked to design audio systems for the entire property, we wanted to provide an immersive audio experience to stimulate guests upon arrival. Thanks to the incredible depth and versatility of Harman solutions, we successfully achieved the owner's goals as well as our own -- to deliver a listening experience that reimagines high-definition sound reinforcement. The wide range of JBL speakers available enabled us to customize each audio solution to deliver outstanding coverage and clarity while blending in aesthetically with each environment." "It's our privilege to provide guests of the Movenpick Hotel & Convention Center KLIA with high-quality audio experiences that rise above the status quo in the hospitality industry," said Ramesh Jayaraman, VP and GM, Harman Professional Solutions, APAC. "Our professional audio solutions will ensure powerfully rich live music during weddings and celebrations, along with crisp and intelligible speech reinforcement during meetings and conferences. We thank Mahajak Trio for their partnership, strong knowledge and customer first approach."
