Welcome to our INSTALL page
This page serves to highlight some of the venues around Australia that have utilised HK Audio and dB Technologies as their in-house sound system.

1 Two 3... dB!
The Gold Coast is renowned for its cafés and bars and Broadbeach offers a number of these. Gold Coast based audio visual company, Blue Shadow Group, is a very active HK Audio partner and has recently started a new installation division where – by all accounts – things are moving along quite nicely with the company recently finishing an installation at a new Mediterranean café known as 1 Two 3 in Broadbeach. The speakers of choice were the dB Technologies K162. “These are fantastic for this sort of application – the coverage they give is a close to as perfect you could get,” says Daniel De Vries, managing director of Blue Shadow. “The customer loves the sound and the fact that when they get busy at night the system can be turned right up without distorting.” Blue Shadow are proud to have a very high class showcase at 1 Two 3 – jobs of this profile inevitably lead to more jobs as time goes by. So, if you are up on the Gold Coast feeling the need for some Mediterranean food and Audio (as the DBs are Italian), drop into 1 Two 3 and enjoy.

HK goes clubbing in Melbourne
As HK Audio continues to spread around the country, clubs and pubs are increasingly choosing to install the German-manufactured product as their choice of system. The last 12 months has seen over 20 clubs and pubs in Melbourne install systems for both play back and live applications. Fitzroy’s Warehouse Sound Systems have been very busy installing HK into quite a few venues such as The Saints in St Kilda where the have a hand full of CT-112s, The Cape Café in Fitzroy, The Fog in Prahran plus many more. Towards the end of last year Warehouse Sound set up The Commercial Hotel (pictured left) in Yarraville with an Elias PX for a front of house system and CT-108s around the pub in other rooms as well as the beer garden. ‘HK is just a great quality product we have never looked back I am very happy with the purchase,’ says Tony Pace, the pub’s owner. ‘We have a packed house every Friday and Saturday Night and the system really gets a work out,’ he continued. Parker Black Pro Audio have also been very busy installing HK systems and have recently installed the first LUCAS Alpha into Baraki in the city. “The system sounds fantastic - I just love it”, says Ray Samos, the bar’s owner. Parker Black also installed a LUCAS Performer into The Junction Hotel in Newport. Other bars of note around Melbourne such as The Belgian Beer Café on St Kilda Road, The Retreat and The Quarry in Brunswick, Shamiana Club in the cit, The Curtin Bandroom in Carlton and The Malibu in St Kilda have all got systems from a small LUCAS to Actors, Projectors and Contour Series and all are receiving rave reviews time and time again. Check out one of these venues to hear HK in its natural environment and in action!
