After 4 years of preparation and foremost delay due to construction stagnation triggered by Covid-19 pandemic, the 26th of May finally witnessed Malaysia’s most prestigious and automated performance centre opening its doors for the first time.
This new venue is positioned in the heart of KL city centre, it is the latest addition of Sony Music “live house” which originated in home country Japan, where up to 10 Zepp venues are located in many major cities.
Following the opening of Zepp New Taipei in Taiwan, Zepp KL is the 2nd overseas venue and so far, the most prestigious. All the installed equipment is the state-of-the-art technology.
New for Zepp KL is the stage automation system, which has not been used in any other Zepp venue and in Malaysia so far.
The venue hosts a complete automated Movecat winch system, offering rigging and performance options to fulfil the various performance demands. The Basic-C Show Controller controls the 11 x 1 and 2T DGUV V17, SIL3, and BGV-C1 winches, lifting the 22m TRAC82 fly bars.
