Audiogears and Funktion-One Team Up to Transform The Club’s Audio Experience with A Powerful New System Designed for “Global Dancefloor Domination”

In the pulsating heart of Bangkok’s nightlife district, ‘The Club’ has long stood as a beacon of high-energy entertainment. Now, the iconic 500-capacity venue is making even more noise—quite literally—following a complete sound system overhaul featuring the unmistakable precision and power of Funktion-One. This latest upgrade further cements The Club’s reputation as a must-visit destination for revellers from around the globe.

Spearheaded by Bangkok-based integrator Audiogears, in close collaboration with the Funktion-One team in the UK, the project aimed to overcome the venue’s acoustically complex layout, marked by multiple ceiling heights, layered walls and compartmentalised zones. Funktion-One Technical Design Engineer Mike Igglesden, Product Support Engineer Will Wright and Director of Business Development Andrew Low worked hand-in-hand with Audiogears COO Bob Siripremanant to ensure every nuance of the sound design was dialled in to perfection.

“The layout was very challenging,” shared Siripremanant. “We worked closely with Mike from the start, and his patience and attention to detail were vital. He was incredibly patient and helpful in designing a system that would work across every corner of the space. Will Wright even flew out to Bangkok to personally help us fine-tune the system. The result speaks for itself—the client’s thrilled, and we’re equally proud of the outcome.”

The Club’s owner, Plu Chayavoraprapa of Buddy Group, made it clear from the outset that sound was the highest priority. The brief was precise: deliver pristine audio with chest-thumping low-end that could handle the venue’s genre-hopping playlist—from chillout and pop to EDM, trance, hip-hop and house. “What makes The Club special is the high energy we deliver day in and day out,” he explained. “We attract a diverse melting pot of nationalities, and the sound has to live up to that energy. For us, getting the sound system right is the number one priority.”

Siripremanant asserts that Funktion-One’s system was more than up to the task – delivering detailed, transparent audio across every inch of the venue. “We needed a system that delivers clarity and depth, no matter the genre. And Funktion-One definitely nailed it!” he exclaimed.

“We’ve tested many commercial systems, but in our view Funktion-One reproduces the truest sound,” added Chayavoraprapa. “You can hear every element of the music—sometimes so clearly you can even spot counterfeit tracks. That level of detail is what creates magic on the dancefloor.”

With Audiogears leading the charge locally and Funktion-One providing international design and support, the collaboration has proven to be a tour de force in club audio integration. “A system is only as good as the team behind it,” Chayavoraprapa concluded. “With Audiogears, we had world-class equipment and world-class expertise. They understood exactly what we needed and they delivered.”
