CINEAKDISCO | Best Media Room, Finalist

Imagine entering a room where the boundaries of reality blur, where the ambience shifts seamlessly to match your mood, and where each element is tailored for an unforgettable experience. This is the essence of CINEKADISCO, a space where technology meets artistry, creating a sanctuary for a large family of twelve to create memories that will last a lifetime.

The clients envisioned a multi-functional room that could adapt to their diverse entertainment needs. They sought a balance between quality and budget, aiming for a high-end feel without unnecessary extravagance. Positioned between a bar and a music zone, the room's purpose was clear: to provide a cinema for immersive movie nights, a karaoke area for lively sing-alongs, and a nightclub space for vibrant dance parties. The architect and the client collaboratively chose the furniture, carpet, and decorative elements, setting the stage for integrator Fresia Media to weave their technological magic.

Fresia Media's approach to designing the cinema aspect of the room was meticulous. The clients' aesthetic preferences were honoured through the incorporation of unique features like a coconut floor, a wooden dance area, and ambient lighting tailored to each activity. The acoustic isolation was achieved using advanced technical sound plates, ensuring that every sound is crisp and clear, free from mechanical noise or unwanted resonance.

The cinema function of CINEKADISCO is truly a marvel. Equipped with three LCR500 speakers and four subwoofers from the Waterfall Pro Custom Series, positioned within a baffle wall at the front, the room delivers maximum direct field pressure, perfect for an immersive cinematic experience. Surround sound is expertly handled by Waterfall Elora on-wall speakers, positioned and angled to optimise the audio experience.

Karaoke enthusiasts will find their dreams realised in this space. Although the equipment wasn't originally designed for karaoke, Fresia Media, in collaboration with Trinnov, developed dedicated settings to ensure top-notch performance. The result is a karaoke experience that rivals any professional setup, providing endless hours of entertainment.

When the night calls for a dance party, CINEKADISCO transforms into a pulsating nightclub. The front system, boasting almost 3kW for the bass section and each speaker receiving up to 700W, delivers a powerful sound experience. The RS700 Digital Signal Processing Amplifiers by Waterfall/Atohm power the front wall configuration, ensuring optimal performance even under intensive use. Despite the technical constraints and aesthetic demands, Fresia Media's expertise shines through. Acoustic treatments were meticulously applied behind stretched fabric, maintaining invisibility while enhancing sound quality. The room's length and unique layout required careful planning for speaker and subwoofer placement. The result is a harmonious blend of form and function, with speakers semi-embedded and ceiling-mounted at custom angles to achieve the best listening experience.
