Alphatec & VMS Delhi Merges CODA Audio Precision with KOCA’s Culinary Flair in Gurgaon

KOCA – Kitchen of Celebratory Arts – has made a striking debut on Gurgaon’s fine dining and nightlife map as the first restaurant venture from Indian cricket icon Yuvraj Singh. With an emphasis on refined contemporary design, immersive ambience and energetic DJ-led experiences, KOCA required an audio system that could seamlessly blend power, clarity and discretion. To deliver on this vision, the venue turned to Indian pro audio specialist Alphatec and integration partner VMS Delhi, led by technical head Sandeep Duggal.

The solution came in the form of a bespoke CODA Audio loudspeaker system, selected specifically to balance sonic performance with sleek aesthetics. With the venue’s unique layout and architecture presenting both acoustic and design challenges, Alphatec deployed a combination of CODA Audio’s HOPS8i high output point source speakers and the compact yet versatile G308-Pro models. Low-frequency support is derived through G15 and G18 subwoofers, with the system driven by CODA Audio’s LINUS 6.4i amplification platform.

“The CODA Audio system easily overcame the challenges presented by KOCA’s low ceiling, both in audio and aesthetic terms. It delivers warm, clear, powerful sound, whilst effortlessly blending into the space without intruding on guests’ conversations, creating an immersive audio experience,” said Devasis Barkataki, Founder and Managing Director of Alphatec. “The project teams orchestrated a sonic experience as rich and layered as the menu itself, exemplifying just how high-quality audio can redefine the dining and nightlife experience.”

CODA Audio’s Paul Ward added, “We’re very proud indeed to see CODA loudspeakers selected for this exciting and prestigious new hotspot. The compact size, form, power, and versatility of our point source ranges enables them to meet a wide range of requirements in both professional and commercial audio settings, nowhere better illustrated than at KOCA, where Alphatec and VMS delivered an excellent solution.”
