Singapore’s C Side gets DAS facelift
Published: ASIA
SINGAPORE: C Side, located within the revamped Siloso Beach strip on Sentosa Island, recently benefitted from a multi-million dollar facelift. Coastes recently joined hands with Sand Bar, Bikini Bar and the newly created Flame & Makan² to create a unique beach experience, which included installing various DAS Audio Avant and Artec systems.
DAS Audio's Singapore's office was actively involved in the design and specification of various sound systems from the start of the project. Work commenced in 2012 and was completed in various stages, the first being the complete renovation of three buildings in order to provide space for the new Bikini Bar, Makan² and a block of new facilities.
Bikini Bar hosts live bands during weekends and the bar’s resident DJ plays R&B, hip-hop and Top 40 tunes, therefore requiring a versatile system. A total of six Avant 15As were placed into the premises to provide effective coverage.
Coastes, the biggest of the five venues, and its beach bar, Sand Bar were next on the list. The first venue was installed with four Artec 28T systems, whilst the sound team also opted for units from the Artec series for the Sand Bar, bringing in six Artec 26Ts to cover the area.
After work along the boardwalk was completed, the focus turned to the beach, where 16 Avant 12As were installed in custom-designed weatherproof enclosures.
According to DAS Audio Singapore, ‘the DAS Audio systems were the perfect choice for this difficult challenge. Coverage across the beach is even and smooth and using powered speakers across a large area of beach creates a simpler infrastructure and redundancy that can’t be found with an amp-powered system.’
