Shock39 Bangkok.

Void Acoustics reports a major installation first in Thailand, supplying the newly-opened Shock39 nightclub with a high-end sound system, including the recently-launched Trinity X subwoofer. Shock39 has just re-opened after a complete refurbishment project, with the main sound system designed and installed by Thai-based systems integration company, TechWorX Projects.

The Void system is the first ever to be imported into Thailand, giving Shock39 an edge in its bid to fill the gap left by The Ministry of Sound – as well as being the first club in the world to specify Void’s new Trinity X subs. The Shock39 system comprises eight of Void’s new Trinity X subs for the main dance floor, positioned in a 2 x 4 array below the DJ booth – built on a double layer of concrete to ensure sufficient low-end separation.

Six of Void’s Axsys 15 cabinets deliver the dance floor sound, custom-finished in black and red, with a further six Basys 12s positioned around the peripheral seating areas and VIP lounges. The whole system is powered by Void Infinite amplifiers, complemented by the DigiDrive Plus loudspeaker management processors.

Shock39’s grand opening took place on at the end of July, drawing in the great and the good from Bangkok’s high life. Shock39 is a 1000+ capacity club, with a mission to combine great-sounding music with a relaxed ambience. TechWorX worked closely with consultants, Club Flavour, to create a unique combination of high quality audio and a top class club ambience, designed to cater for local and international clubbers looking for a great night out.

Club Flavour’s Abby Ahzan defined the opening as a true blow-out: “Shock39 is one of Bangkok’s largest clubs, and we believe we have something very special to offer! We have done everything to the highest standards, overcoming the usual local problems of unreliable and unstable power supplies, and applying a European design philosophy to the sound system to ensure that we deliver a consistently high quality result. It was a real coup to get the Void system into Shock39 – working with Tim Margetts at TechWorX, we identified the Axys and Trinity X combination as a perfect fit for our vision of what Shock39 would deliver soundwise. It has translated perfectly from our initial concept to reality, and the club sounds fantastic! Void’s Rog Mogale was with us for the opening, putting the finishing touches to the system and making the sound even more dynamic. Shock39 had a great opening, and is the talk of the town – we are attracting good audiences and more and more international DJs as well. We have got off to a great start!”
