Harman solution for Kota Kinabalu Marriott
- Details
Kota Kinabalu Marriott Hotel is a premium five-star resort located at The Waterfront entertainment centre on the South China Sea. Known for hosting opulent events held in their Grand Ballroom, Kota Kinabalu Marriott hired Mahajak Trio to install an audio system capable of delivering world-class sound throughout the resort. Mahajak Trio designed a complete Harman Professional Solutions audio system made up of JBL Professional speakers and power amplifiers, AKG microphones and BSS signal processors.
“Kota Kinabalu Marriott needed an all-new state-of-the-art audio solution capable of distributing a large number of audio channels throughout their massive facilities,” says TK YIP, senior business manager of Mahajak Trio. “We were able to design the perfect solution using Harman products thanks to their flexibility, reliability, and impeccable sound quality.”
Kota Kinabalu Marriott’s new audio system utilises self-powered JBL SRX815P and PRX812W loudspeakers, as well as JBL PRX818XLF subwoofers in the Grand Ballroom. Guests can enjoy performances anywhere on the premises with JBL Control 16C/T, Control 47C/T, 8124 and 8138 in-ceiling loudspeakers powered by JBL CSA 140Z and CSA 1300Z single-channel amplifiers.
The system can be easily controlled with the JBL CSR-V remote volume control and easily distributed using BSS BLU-160 signal processors, analogue input card, BLU-BOB2 break out box and Ethernet controllers. Kota Kinabalu Marriott was also outfitted with a pair of JBL LSR305 2‑Way studio monitors for precise reference monitoring.
Speakers and performers in the Grand Ballroom sound crystal-clear thanks to the AKG D5 and WMS470 D5 handheld mics, CGN331 E gooseneck microphone, and CS3 BU Conference base unit paired with CS3 DU 30 delegate and CS3 CU 30 chairman microphones.
“We were absolutely thrilled at what a difference the new audio system has made,” said Denison Seow, Eartern Global managing director. “Our client comment on the sound quality in the Grand Ballroom at every event, and now they can enjoy performances from anywhere on the premises. It’s really elevated the luxury level here at Kota Kinabalu Marriott.”
