Tipsy Unicorn

Starting with audio, JBL line arrays serve as the main speaker system for Tipsy Unicorn, Sentosa, Singapore

We wanted something directional after surveying the location. Tipsy Unicorn is next to Siloso Beach Resort which is a hotel and there were concerns that there would be sound pollution and disturbances. We took this into account in the design and the line arrays were specifically used to make sure that the sound was directed towards the beach and the audience.

When it came to audio, we had complete confidence in the Harman Professional solution consisting of JBL speakers, Crown amplifiers, and BSS DSP. Specifically, we have built in additional headroom for the audio system. On a regular day, they are using approximately 40% to 50% of the system’s capabilities. But when they have an event that has a guest DJ performance for example, the audio system can scale up to match the requirements of the event. In fact, events at Tipsy Unicorn can extend out of the venue onto the beach as well and the audio system we have designed and deployed takes this into account to provide them complete coverage. Audio signals are transmitted via Blu-link and Dante.

Allen & Heath SQ Mixers and Shure ULXD wireless microphone systems complete the audio system for live music performances and events both in the indoor and outdoor spaces.

On the visual side, we have Unilumin LED video walls that display content and create an impact. We knew that the product would be installed outdoors, and we took this into account when selecting the LED tiles and products. he LED video walls were custom built for Tipsy Unicorn as per their direction and this is why you see non-standard shapes for the displays such as the crown and the LED clad around the DJ booth on stage. They have their own content team that ensures that the displays are used to their full potential.

PCs running Resolume push out content for the various LED displays. AMX SVSI encoders and decoders are used for transmitting video signals over IP to video displays in the VIP suites. AV over IP was specifically used to address the distances video signals had to travel across the venue.

This is the first beach club of this scale in Singapore, and it was a great experience working with the owners at Tipsy Collective to help them achieve their vision of building a first of its kind beach club in Singapore. Audio, video, and lighting, have all been prioritised because they were essential to create the atmosphere and the vibe that the owners wanted.

Tipsy Unicorn is a great example of how a leisure and entertainment venue can tap audio, video and lighting products from Harman Professional solutions to create a truly memorable experience for their guests. This project once again demonstrates the ability of the JBL VTX A Series to deliver the power and clarity required for both live musicians and DJ’s

The owners were very clear with what they wanted from the very beginning. They wanted to do a beach club like no other in Singapore and they wanted the venue to be able to scale all the way up to a music festival type of event. To achieve this, we needed to make sure that the audio and the video systems were able to match their ambition. They wanted to go big.

The client is extremely happy with the design and installation and the selection of equipment for this venue! It has elevated the experience for their guests providing an immersive audio visual experience for one and all.
