ElectroSystems of Singapore completed the installation of sound reinforcement systems thoughout the City of Entertainment, specifying Nexo loudspeaker cabinets for the 6,000-seat Arena of Stars concert hall and the Genting International Convention Centre (GICC). Billed as the largest convention centre in Malaysia, the GICC covers an area of 120,000sq.ft and is one of the best-equipped function halls in the region. The Ballroom features a Nexo Alpha system with Midas Heritage 3000 mixers, Allen & Heath GL3300 24-channel audio mixers and Klark Teknik equalizers, amongst other equipment.
The Arena of Stars (AOS) has attracted many high profile performers and is equipped with a substantial Nexo Alpha system, powered by Camco amplifiers. Situated within the First World Plaza, the Pavilion is a high-ceiling multipurpose hall. The hall is also able to hold events and, in fact, the 2002 New Year countdown was held in this multipurpose hall. The Pavilion features permanent ceiling loudspeakers, but for flexibility, the Entertainment Department specified portable sound systems. Again, a mix of Nexo Alpha and Nexo PS15 loudspeakers were used, together with Klark Teknik equalisers, compressor/limiters and Camco amplifiers. Times Square is a live performance stage within the shopping arena amidst the indoor theme rides. For the stage area, Allen & Heath mixers, Klark Teknik equalisers, Camco amplifiers and Nexo PS15s were installed, supplemented by portable Nexo Alpha sound systems.
