TopTop Lounge: An Upscale Entertainment Venue with Sound by B-Star
TopTop Lounge, at 52–54 Ly Than Tong Street, was conceived as a stylish entertainment destination for Bac Ninh’s nightlife audience.
Alongside its investment in modern equipment, the owner gave detailed attention to the sound system. TopTop selected B-Star, whose experience with nightclub business models dates back to 2015.
The project aimed to establish TopTop as a destination for energetic parties in Bac Ninh.

Delivering Coverage Throughout TopTop Lounge
The 250 m² venue includes a raised VIP mezzanine with a low ceiling. Loudspeakers mounted at a low height have limited coverage, so cabinet size, quantity, and distribution needed careful consideration.
Two VIP rooms are located beneath the mezzanine. Delay loudspeakers were needed to extend coverage into these areas and throughout TopTop Lounge.
B-Star considers subwoofers central to the dance-music experience. Their placement and tuning require an understanding of acoustics and music styles to optimize performance and deliver the sound pressure needed to sustain the crowd’s energy.
The Acoustic Approach
After installing the subwoofers according to the modeled End Fire design, B-Star’s founder assessed the sound on site. He decided to reconfigure the system as an Arc Sub arrangement to achieve more even, consistent coverage.
The adjustment drew on more than 10 years of specialist experience and close attention during system tuning at TopTop Lounge, allowing the team to respond to the actual conditions in the venue.
