Void Acoustics strikes right note for luxury Tokyo nightclub

Singapore-based nightclub operator Zouk Group turned to Void Acoustics to provide the sound system for its first venture in Japan.

The kit – which has been installed across Zouk Tokyo’s two basement floors – comprises a custom-coloured Void Incubus System as the main speaker, with Tri Motions as the rear speakers. Numerous Airten V3, Venu 10/8 V2 and Air 8 have been used as fill speakers, while Airten V3 and Venu 215 V2 subwoofers are providing the bass.

There is also a Cirrus 6.1 in the restrooms. The speakers are driven by 32 Bias amps.

The installation was undertaken by Tokyo-based eastaudio. The company’s Satoru Tocci Tochibori says: “We were asked to accommodate a variety of function types such as nightlife, corporate events and live shows.

“This meant carefully blending sound across multiple environments, tight spaces, unusual angles and a desire for the Void system to subtly match the overall look and feel of Zouk Tokyo. We paid particular attention to balancing the sound pressure and power within the main floor and the rest of the corridors.”

Zouk Tokyo’s technical chief, Jun-ichi Arai, says: “This was the first time we had dealt with a full Void system – and it has provided us with a system worthy of Zouk Tokyo.

“The main objective of the installation was to ensure audiences could still have conversations, even with high-pressure sound, and Void has helped us achieve this.

“Void is highly regarded by our DJs. The sound is almost too good to be true – the highs and mids are crisp and clean.”
