The Lawn Beach Bar, located on the beach of Canggu (Bali), is one of the island’s most iconic leisure spots. It blends music, cuisine, and direct ocean views in an open-air setting, featuring wooden architecture, high ceilings, and semi-covered areas. As an outdoor venue exposed to high temperatures, constant humidity, and direct salt air, its sound system demands more than just acoustic quality, it requires durable, stable solutions capable of delivering a coherent audio experience throughout the day.
A demanding outdoor installation by Sontastic
The installation project, carried out by our technical partner Sontastic, called for a sound system that could provide high-performance audio while maintaining structural integrity under the harshest conditions. The solution came in the form of a fully integrated ecosystem of Lynx Pro Audio products, engineered specifically for outdoor sound system installations.
Strategic selection of Lynx Pro Audio products
The technical approach focused on achieving uniform coverage, high speech intelligibility, and a full frequency response using components designed to perform reliably in challenging environmental conditions.
The system was designed to deliver consistent vocal clarity and even sound distribution across the venue without interfering with the architectural aesthetics of the space. To achieve this, Sontastic integrated three of its most versatile product lines for outdoor applications: the JUNO series, the WCX series, and the HR subwoofers in their MG (Marine Grade) version, all selected for their reliability, durability, and acoustic performance in open-air environments.
Main Coverage: JUNO Series
For the open and semi-covered areas, JUNO loudspeakers in 6” and 8” versions were used. This series is specifically developed for outdoor sound reinforcement. With an IP46 rating and heat-resistant components, JUNO delivers consistent performance even in harsh environmental conditions. Its symmetrical coverage pattern ensures clear sound distribution across wide areas without the need for excessive sound pressure levels.
WCX Series
For areas with more directional needs WCX weather resistant coaxial cabinets were installed. These compact models offer clear and controlled vocal reproduction, reinforcing the sound precisely without interference or disturbance. Their design allows for seamless acoustic and visual integration with the surrounding architecture, which is key for maintaining overall system coherence.
Low-end support: HR-18/10 MG subwoofers
To complete the system, HR-18/10 MG subwoofers were added. Built for outdoor use, these subwoofers feature enclosures, hardware, and electronics designed to withstand humidity, high temperatures, and salt exposure without compromising frequency response linearity.
In open-space audio applications, the goal is not just to produce sound, but to guarantee long-term, consistent performance. It starts with the selection of purpose-built components capable of operating efficiently under extreme conditions, ensuring the durability and integrity of the professional outdoor audio system over time
