110 VENUE
SKYE
JAKARTA, INDONESIA ASIA/PACIFIC/OCEANIA
Ismaya Group has opened its latest venue on the roof of the 230-metre high Menara BCA building in Jakarta, Indonesia. Skye Bar & Restaurant - located the 56th floor - is furnished to superb quality, has been equipped with high-end technology and to complete the experience visitors are treated to a stunning view of the city’s skyline from any seat in the restaurant. The owners turned to P.T. Citra Intirama - distributor of Martin Audio - to complete the audio install, which would mirror the high standards that were demanded by their fashionable clientele. Eric Haslim of P.T. Citra Intirama said: “I became involved with the project because the owner is a friend and also one of my important customers who has been using Martin Audio for their various restaurant outlets and clubs.”
The 800-capacity venue includes a bar area, dining area, VIP area, lounge and outdoor area and every inch of it is kitted out with Martin Audio loudspeakers. Eric continued: “The audio set-up needed to be loud enough to provide an even spread of ambient music throughout all areas at the venue on a daily basis. However, it was also required to be capable of handling upbeat dance music played through a DJ system at approximately 95dB measured at C weighting at one metre.”
Eric was asked to specify an audio system that was capable of reproducing clear and balanced sound across the whole frequency spectrum. Atmospheric music is played on a daily basis through an iPod, the music is distributed to all the loudspeakers and subwoofers

via an Omnitronic EM-880 matrix mixer. However, at the weekend, Skye has a resident DJ who plays upbeat sets in line with the mood of the customers on weekend evenings. Occasionally Skye will welcome a guest DJ on a Sunday afternoon too so it is vital the audio set-up could handle the different types of application. In the dining area Eric opted for eight Martin Audio AQ5 double five inch loudspeakers and four Martin Audio C10.1R ceiling loudspeak- ers to be responsible for background music in that area. The AQ5 full range speakers are supplemented by four custom made single 12-inch subwoofers, all of which are tucked away from view. The lounge area has a similar set-up to the dining area, it makes use of the Martin Audio AQ5 speakers again, but these are instead com- bined with Martin Audio EM150 double 10-inch subwoofers. Eric had to select smaller subwoofers for the lounge area due to the space available. “This was a lucky break for us as these two subwoofers were the last two we had in our warehouse and they fitted within the dimensions of the curvature beneath the bar in the lounge area.” Outside, Eric and his team specified eight Martin Audio AQ8 two- way, eight inch loudspeakers arranged in a tandem configuration with coverage pattern of 180º to maximise the horizontal dispersion for the wide area they need to cover. A further four custom made double 12-inch subwoofers and four custom made single 10-inch subwoof- ers take care of the low frequencies in the outdoor area, and once again they are hidden within the furnishings.
The corridors that link the dining area, the entrance corridor and the lounge area are equipped with Martin Audio C4.8T and C6.8T ceiling speakers, as are the restrooms. While the VIP area has four Martin Audio C115 surface mount speakers, which are joined by another custom made single 12-inch subwoofer hidden underneath a service
