HONI HONI is Far Out in the Far East

Honi Honi bar has transported the Polynesian island to Hong Kong Island. Food, drinks, decor and music in any quantity from an owner with years of experience in five star restaurants and private clubs. Honi Honi - named after a Polynesian greeting meaning "kiss kiss" - is a new Hong Kong cocktail lounge with all the trimmings; high ceilings, an outdoor terrace and high detailed décor that reflect its Polynesian roots. A lot of thought went into planning every aspect of this venue and the style reflects the original Tiki lounge at The Fairmont, San Francisco.

So when it came to selecting audio equipment that would complement the interior design he sought three different quotations. The biggest mistake is usually when designers bring the audio installers in too late, but that wasn’t the case here, we considered it from the very beginning and made compromises.

There are four Quest Engineering HPI-8i passive speakers installed at Honi Honi, bracket mounted one in each corner of the rectangular space. A further two Quest Engineering HPI-5 cabinets, which are capable of short to medium throw with a mid-high output have been flushed mounted in the ceiling. A single Quest Engineering HPI- 12S compact subwoofer has also been integrated into the building structure - over a doorway - while a second is located behind the DJ position to supplement the system. The result is very good quality playback sound that can host live acts on occasion.
