INDONESIA: HARMAN Professional Solutions has delivered a tailored audio installation for Q Billiard & Spincity at Agora Mall, enhancing the sonic experience across the venue’s billiards lounge and bowling alley within Jakarta’s Thamrin Nine complex. Designed to support a dynamic entertainment environment, the system addresses the distinct acoustic challenges presented by multiple activity zones within a single destination.

Executed in collaboration with AV integration firm Mega Kapuas Multiniaga, PT and distributor Inti Megah Swara, PT, the installation was engineered to provide consistent coverage while enabling independent control across the billiards and bowling areas. Each zone features differing ambient noise levels and user interaction patterns, necessitating precise system tuning and flexible control.

The solution centres around JBL C29AV-1 Surface-Mount Speakers delivering full-range coverage throughout the main areas, complemented by JBL AC115S subwoofers for controlled low-frequency reinforcement. Additional support is provided by JBL C50PACK loudspeaker systems, while JBL 2.1 soundbars extend coverage into supplementary zones. System power and multi-zone management are handled by a Crown NCDi4x600 amplifier, with processing and zoning managed through a dbx 1260V ZonePRO. User interaction is facilitated via dbx ZC8V and ZCV-Fire controllers, while a Soundcraft Notepad-8FX mixer supports day-to-day operational requirements.

The zoned configuration enables venue staff to adjust output levels independently between bowling lanes and billiards tables, maintaining clarity without disrupting conversation or gameplay. Careful loudspeaker placement and calibration ensure consistent intelligibility while supporting background music and event playback across the venue.

“This project demonstrates how integrated audio can support modern social entertainment environments,” said Nick Screen, VP & GM, HARMAN Professional Solutions, APAC. “By combining JBL loudspeakers with Crown amplification and dbx processing, the system provides consistent coverage and straightforward control across multiple activity zones.”

Alongside performance considerations, the system components were selected to complement the venue’s contemporary interior design. The discreet form factors allow the audio infrastructure to integrate seamlessly into the space without detracting from the overall aesthetic.

With the installation now complete, Q Billiard & Spincity operates with a flexible, zoned audio system capable of supporting daily operations, private events and high-traffic entertainment periods, reinforcing its position as a prominent social destination within Agora Mall.
