This luxury nightclub, located in the heart of Pattaya, Thailand, is known for providing its clients with a first-class experience. Its sophisticated and elegant atmosphere is the perfect setting for hosting performances by internationally renowned DJs and live acts of all kinds.
This makes sound a crucial aspect of this luxurious club. For this reason, DAS Audio systems were chosen, as they are capable of delivering the quality, intelligibility, and power needed to make every night at Icon Club in Pattaya an unforgettable experience.
The challenge
In a club of this size, good acoustic design is essential. Achieving professional sound quality throughout all areas, as well as uniform coverage, is key to offering your clients an entertainment experience they will want to repeat. Likewise, the installation had to account for the level of performances that this venue is accustomed to hosting.
The expectations of the artists who perform at Icon Club regarding sound quality are very high, so the installed systems had to meet those expectations.

Solution
For the main stage, the three-way self-powered Line Array EVENT-212A was chosen. This popular system offered the ability to adapt to a variety of formats, as well as broad, uniform coverage and a maximum peak power of 1000 Wpico. The powerful digital signal processing of the EVENT-212A includes FIR filters, resulting in very linear phase response and accurate performance, leading to greater clarity, defined percussion, and a fuller, more natural response.
Additionally, the DAScontrol™ technology allows for easy and intuitive configuration, enabling the system to be quickly prepared for any type of event. The EVENT-26A system was also selected, which has similar qualities to the previous model. This ultra-compact and lightweight Class D self-powered Line Array with high efficiency and SMPS is one of DAS Audio’s most awarded models, making it an ideal choice for Icon Club due to its outstanding performance.
For the low frequencies, the EVENT-115A and UX-218A were chosen. The former, designed to be compatible with the EVENT-26A, is a compact self-powered subwoofer using a 15” low-frequency transducer and front-loaded design developed by DAS. It is built from birch plywood with a rugged design, finished with ISO-flex protective coating for durability, and features an innovative Class D amplifier with 1200 Wpico. Meanwhile, the amplifier of the UX-218A offers 2 x 1700 W, incorporating the latest in Class D power amplification. Its universal, low-consumption, high-efficiency power supply features Power Factor Correction (PFC), making it safe to use worldwide. Its state-of-the-art electronic design, including the fixed frequency output selector, ensures high audio fidelity. A comprehensive set of “smart” protections, including over-voltage, temperature, short circuit, output overload, clip limitation, and high-frequency protection, safeguard the amplifier and acoustic components.
To ensure the best sound quality in every corner of the nightclub, the ACTION-515A systems were also chosen. This model is an active system designed for versatility, ranging from fixed installations to its most common use as portable PA. Thanks to its 90º x 60º rotatable horn, the speaker can be used horizontally in installations, as a stage monitor, or even as front fill. The ACTION-S118A, an 18-inch active subwoofer, handles the low frequencies.
Finally, the DSP-4080 was selected as the digital processor. Designed to meet the needs of both fixed installations and live sound event systems, this model combines the functions of several devices into one compact unit.
Conclusion
Icon Club is a leading nightlife destination in Pattaya and even in the entire country. With DAS Audio systems, it has been able to provide visitors with an unmatched sound experience. Harmony, quality, coverage, power, as well as the reliability and durability characteristic of the brand, make this installation a sound investment with guaranteed returns.
