Known as “Bali’s Most Popular Sunset Bar,” Rock Bar Bali is not just a bar, it’s a complete sensory experience. Renowned for the mastery of its bartenders, this iconic spot will captivate you with magical sunsets, vibrant music and an electrifying atmosphere.
Located at the AYANA Resort and Spa, Rock Bar Bali is perched on a 14m limestone cliff, offering a 180-degree panoramic view. Imagine the waves crashing against the rocks, the radiant sun about to dip into the Indian Ocean and Jimbaran Bay bathed in a golden light. A natural light show that will take your breath away.
This unique space is characterized by a minimalist design that seamlessly integrates an open platform into the natural formation itself. The ambient lighting of the bar, together with the sunset curtains and traditional lanterns of the fishing boats that dot the horizon, create a unique and unrepeatable atmosphere.
The combination of exclusive cocktails, exceptional views and an electrifying atmosphere created by its resident DJ and an occasional programming of world-class international artists, make this bar one of the best in the world in its category.
The distributor Melodia, together with its partner AV Sontastic, were the companies in charge of ensuring the correct distribution and calibration of the sound throughout the area using the most suitable coatings. The installation was a challenge given the exceptional conditions of the open-air site, extended along the edge of a cliff 14 metres above sea level.
Given the particularities of the installation, Melodia and Sontastic decided to install all sound systems in a weatherproof version, an option offered by Lynx Pro Audio for extreme installations of this type, where venues need special protection designed to withstand extreme weather conditions, such as sunlight, salt and water.
Eight WCX-8 compact speakers have been installed along the bar, a versatile and modular two-way coaxial enclosure designed for outdoor applications. It has an 8″ coaxial speaker offering a 70º conical dispersion coverage and a power of 300 W AES. As reinforcement for different areas, 7 two-way HR-1596/7 enclosures have been installed, a full-range system with a power of 700 W AES. It has a wide coverage of 90×60º and a passive/bi-amplified selector, mounting a 15″ speaker together with a 1.4″ driver and a rotatable horn that allows you to choose the most suitable coverage angle according to the installation.
To reinforce the low frequencies, three HR-218/12 high-performance passive subwoofers have been installed, with two 18″ speakers in direct radiation low-reflex configuration.
With omnidirectional coverage and 1200W AES power, the weatherproof products have specific features for greater outdoor durability and to withstand harsher weather conditions: anodized aluminum logo for better durability, stainless steel grill also available in aluminum with protective coating and micro-textured paint, weather tape edges, acustex filter to prevent water and external elements from penetrating, 35 ppi acoustic foam to prevent dust particles from affecting internal components, waterproof cone protected on both sides, aluminum back plate with pressure gland for extra tight connection and stainless steel screws.
To amplify the sound, five Lynx Pro Audio TS series amplifiers have been installed on the south and north sides of the venue. These are high performance 4 channel mid/high power power amplifiers dedicated to the installation market capable of meeting the requirements of any installation from 300 to 2500W. Sontastic said: “A well designed audio system should cater to a variety of musical preferences.
