HK Audio Powers Rock in the Jungle with Pure Concert Muscle

Malaysia’s iconic year-end rock pilgrimage, Rock in the Jungle, wrapped up its latest edition with a sonic boom, thanks to HK Audio’s formidable Concert Sound Family. Held at the Sarawak Cultural Village, the two-day festival once again roared to life with a line-up of Malaysian and regional rock icons, all performing through a full-blooded HK Audio COSMO rig that brought unrelenting energy and razor-sharp audio to every corner of the venue.

Organised by Authentic Ideas And Events, the festival has grown from a grassroots gathering into one of Malaysia’s premier live music events, drawing die-hard fans from across the region. The recent edition featured performances from a thunderous roster of artists including Wings, Sweet Charity, XPDC, Jemson, Criss X, JS Boys, Edane, Candy, Senseless, and BNB Band—each act delivering their brand of rock through HK Audio’s meticulously crafted system.

The technical demands of the main stage, compounded by the challenging humidity of the Sarawak jungle, required a system capable of consistent power, clarity, and resilience. HK Audio delivered in full. The main PA configuration featured eight COSMO C10 and four COSMO C6 line array elements per side, flanked by an earth-moving sub array of eight CSub218s and eight COSMO CF118s in end fire configuration to sculpt punchy, defined bass. Side fills comprised a pair of LINEAR 5 MK2 115XA and six LINEAR Sub LSub4000A units, while front fill was handled by another set of LINEAR 5 MK2 115XAs. On stage, ten SONAR 115Xi wedges ensured the performers enjoyed the same pristine audio as the crowd.

From the front of house to the farthest edge of the crowd, coverage was seamless, the sound—pure HK Audio magic. Thumping lows, balanced mids, and crystalline highs carried every scream, riff, and roar with immersive power, much to the delight of the fans, artists, and organisers alike.

“Our Concert Sound Family has been designed to be the perfect solution for events like Rock in the Jungle,” said Andreas Mayerl, CPO at HK Audio. “The combination of COSMO and LINEAR delivered on the challenge of taking the festival to a whole new level with exceptional sound quality. The Authentic Ideas And Events team were able to rely on the seamless interaction of the individual components, the well-thought-out features and precise filter sets to deliver an awe-inspiring two-day festival that was a real highlight for local music fans. We are delighted to be part of this amazing festival.”
