Nextrend chooses Kgear sound solution for Mercure hotel in Malaysia

Part of the Mercure hotel chain, Mercure Hotel Miri is the first of the brand’s openings in Malaysia’s Sarawak region, nestled on the northwest coast of Borneo. Offering a co-working space, rooftop restaurant and 172 rooms, Hotel Miri recently sought a new sound system to provide background audio across various spaces in the hotel.

Nextrend, an integrator and distributor of K-array solutions in Malaysia, was approached to lead the new project, with company director Shawn Teoh managing the project. “The goal was to produce clear background audio that would not be irritating or too loud for guests when they are sitting near the loudspeakers”, he says. The installation encompasses several areas including the check-in lobby and adjoining coffee bar, plus the ballroom and the rooftop restaurant and bar.

In the lobby, four Kgear GF82 8x2-inch column line array loudspeakers deliver audio in a small and discreet format. These are powered by a compact Kgear GA201 amplifier. Hotel guests are welcomed by ambient music from these hidden GF82 upon arriving at the entrance.

The Terabai Grand Ballroom, with a capacity of up to 200 people and intended for events such as large meetings and wedding receptions, was installed with a GP18 and GP18A column array system. Combining an 18’’ subwoofer with three modular 8x2’’ line-array elements, the interchangeable array modules on each column provide a 140° wide horizontal dispersion angle. The GP18 system is further supported by Kgear’s GP8A, a smaller, more portable variant that allows for greater versatility during different events.

At Cavakita, the hotel’s rooftop bar and restaurant, eighteen Kgear GF82 loudspeakers are installed. Two Kgear GS18 subwoofers deliver bass reinforcement whilst another GP8A column array provides extra flexibility. A GA43 amplifier and two GA201 amplifiers power the entire system.

“It was of the utmost importance that the loudspeaker mounting would blend into the overall interior design”, notes Teoh. “The slim speaker and choice of white or black enclosures in the GF82s enabled us to provide a discreet yet highly flexible audio solution.”
