KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia — Along with casually elegant options on their wine and dining menus, the five Alexis Group bistros/wine bars here serve up live jazz music on a regular basis. To further enhance the experience for their guests, the company has installed Alcons audio gear, including VR8 pro-ribbon full-range loudspeakers and BF181 long-excursion 18” subs along with ALC2 amplified loudspeaker controllers and SDP speaker drive processing modules.
More details from Alcons (www.alconsaudio.com):
Established in 1995, Alexis Group has five premises in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. There are a variety of elements that make the Alexis experience so special: stylish interiors; warm hospitality; delicious food; and the finest jazz music in town.
Nestled in Kuala Lumpur’s commercial and embassy district, Alexis Ampang’s acclaimed program of jazz performances on weekend nights showcase internationally renowned musicians and local legends.
“The installation of Alcons systems has certainly fine tuned the premise’s in-house live acoustic, which met the musicians’ demands for superb sound and delivered listening pleasure for its audience,” says Alexis’ Eleen Ng, manager of Alexis.
The system comprises two VR8 pro-ribbon full-range loudspeakers and two BF181 long-excursion 18” subs, controlled by two ALC2 amplified loudspeaker controllers of 2x 1kW output each, with SDP speaker drive processing modules.
Featuring an Alcons proprietary RBN401 4” pro-ribbon driver, the VR8 combines remarkable clarity and intelligibility with high SPL. The unit includes dedicated filtering, with system equalization done by the ALC, which means the power capacity of the speaker components is fully utilized. Signal Integrity Sensing™ (SIS) pre-wiring ensures complete cable/connector compensation between the VR8 and ALC, while the asymmetrical enclosure design provides for very flexible mounting options.
Meanwhile, the BF181 features a deep-tuned cabinet, vented double-spider frame and SIS pre-wiring, delivering a high quality, tight and accurate sub-bass response. This makes the BF181 the ideal complement to the VR8 for high fidelity reproduction of jazz, acoustic and classical music.
“We needed a system that was compact but could produce the Hi-Fidelity audio quality that we required at both low and high sound pressure levels,” says Alexis’ Eleen Ng. “The Alcons pro-ribbon technology delivers superb sound and its precise dispersion pattern reduces the acoustic difficulties that we previously experienced. Combined with the excellent sound quality, the Alcons system has proven to be the ideal solution for delivering the high quality sound reinforcement that our customers demand.”
