Jeddah, Saudi Arabia (August 8, 2025)—Shangri-La Jeddah, a new luxury hotel on the shores of the Red Sea, worked with Harman Professional Solutions distributor HAV (Halwani Audio Visual) for property-wide audio solutions.
Shangri-La Main Ballroom, with multiple event spaces, is a popular venue for weddings and social events. HAV provided an extensive integrated audio and lighting solution. A total of 96 JBL Control 300 series ceiling speakers were installed in the ceiling, including a combination of 12” Control 322C main and Control 312CS subs powered by Crown XLS DriveCore amplifiers, with DSP and matrixing handled by BSS.
The ballroom can be split into three sections or used as one, using multiple orientations in the process. For each stage area, JBL Point Source AE Expansion series were used as L&R speakers. The ballroom was acoustically treated with the help of JOCAVI, all simulated in the design stage.
The Capo front lobby, a boutique patisserie, features Line Array CBT 70J-1 with Control C26T ceiling speakers for the indoor area and AWC 62 for the outdoor terrace. Crown Drive Core high-performance amplifiers and BSS digital signal processing are used for control and zone management.
