Flazh forward into the future with GTX - TT Audio
Flazh forward into the future with GTX
Indonesia: Founded in 2017 in the central Java city of Yogyakarta, Flazh Productions has rapidly ascended the ladder of preferential live production companies in Indonesia. As a recording studio engineer, Debyo W had witnessed a growing demand for professional audio and lighting systems being used for weddings and school and corporate events. The decision to close his recording studio was not taken easily, but Debyo’s decision to transfer his skillsets to live production proved to be the right one.
“Looking back, it was a masterstroke, but at the time it was a hard,” Debyo recalled. Choosing not to seek investment, he saved the profits from local concerts and events, by investing in used RCF loudspeakers. “Ever since I had heard the ART 500 Series speakers, I was won over by the character and the quality of the RCF sound. This aspired me and I set a target to buy a new RCF system one day.”
The stagnation felt at the start of the current decade was merely an interruption in Flazh Productions’ upward trajectory as post-pandemic business has boomed. “We have hardly taken a day off since late 2021,” he furthered. “As demand grew and our network of clientele expanded throughout Java, I opted to invest in a used RCF TTL 33-A Mk1 3-way line array module augmented by VMAX 218-S subwoofers.” The investment paid off and the flexible and reliable TTL 33-A inventory had to be doubled to keep pace with demand.
His target to purchase a new RCF loudspeaker system did not take long and was motivated more by need rather than desire. A TT+ Audio GTX loudspeaker system is now driving Flazh Productions into the next phase of its development. The stock comprises 24 TT+ Audio GTX 10 dual 10-inch cabinets, 16 TT+ Audio GTS 29 dual 19-inch subwoofers and nine XPS 16K 4x4,000W DSP amplifiers. Fixed in three portable racks, the XPS 16K amplifiers incorporate analogue/digital routing options and 40-bit floating-point processing at 96kHz. A wide range of accessories including fly bars, extension bars, hoists, dollies and covers enhance flexibility of use.
“Not only is it RCF’s flagship, but the TT+ Audio is such a versatile loudspeaker system and can be used indoors, outdoors and can be scaled up and down,” continued Debyo. “Furthermore, it is compatible with the TTL 33-A system and both speakers can easily be configured through the RDNet sound system management and control software. GTX is in demand throughout Java and by owning this system, we are catering for international touring acts and more professional events including musical festivals.”
The increase in demand in seven short years has fuelled the requirement for added technical inventory, personnel and warehousing; however, Flazh Productions has resisted financing and outside investment. Close relationships with clients and suppliers, however, remain paramount.
“We acquired the TT+ Audio GTX loudspeaker system from PT Kairos Multi Jaya,” concluded Debyo. “We have received such wonderful technical training and support from them. Their engineers shadowed ours for our first big event, which was the ‘Endless Euphoria’ three-day festival at AEON Mall, to make sure we weren’t making any mistakes. It's almost plug and play, so our crew knows how to set up the GTX for any event now.”
