Marriott Hotel Şişli has enhanced its meeting and event facilities with a comprehensive AV systems upgrade delivered by Istanbul-based integrator 09 Profesyonel. The project encompassed the hotel’s ballroom, meeting rooms, foyers, lobby and restaurant, with 09 Profesyonel managing consultancy, design and integration from start to finish.
“Marriott required a solution that aligned with its global standards while providing flexible, user-friendly control and advanced technology integration across various spaces,” explained 09 Profesyonel founder Eray Özay. “Our goal was to deliver the best technology in the most practical and intuitive way, particularly focusing on the ballroom and meeting areas.”
Given that the AV installation would need to be carried out while the hotel remained fully operational, work was carefully phased to minimise disruption. The scope included a divisible ballroom, capable of splitting into three sections, a meeting room divisible into two, two smaller meeting rooms and shared spaces such as foyers, the lobby and restaurant.
For visual systems, Epson laser projectors were chosen for all meeting and ballroom spaces. In the ballroom, a 10m-wide main screen was reconfigured using two Epson PU-1007 projectors with Edge Blending to deliver a seamless, high-quality display. AMX N2600 series AV over-IP encoders and decoders form the backbone of the video infrastructure, enabling fully network-based signal management. AMX Varia touch panels provide intuitive control interfaces for staff across the venue.
On the audio side, the hotel’s existing setup was expanded into a centralised Dante network linking all rooms, with BSS BLU series processors integrated for flexible, streamlined event management. Shure wireless microphone systems and antenna distributors were deployed in all divisible halls to ensure reliable coverage and performance.
“Delivering this project for Marriott’s flagship property in Şişli stands as a significant reference point for us,” commented Özay. “With this integration, we successfully merged Marriott’s high standards of quality with cutting-edge technology, reinforcing 09 Profesyonel’s commitment to excellence in the AV integration sector.”
