Ysabel Society in the Marriott Hotel – Balkans
Soundology, the official distributor of 1 SOUND for the Balkan region, in collaboration with Sonic Agent, successfully designed and implemented a sophisticated multi-zone audio system for Ysabel Society, one of the most prestigious gastronomic and lifestyle destinations in Prishtina.
Project Overview
Rooftop Area
Located on the rooftop of the Marriott Hotel complex in the city center, Ysabel Society is a premium venue combining fine dining, refined interior design, and a vibrant social atmosphere. The venue consists of three distinct zones — an Italian restaurant, an Asian restaurant, and a spacious rooftop bar with panoramic city views.
Each area was designed with its own identity and acoustic character, requiring a carefully engineered audio solution capable of delivering exceptional sound quality, precise coverage, and seamless architectural integration.
The primary objective of the project was to create a consistent and immersive sound experience across all zones, while keeping the loudspeaker systems visually discreet and fully aligned with the venue’s luxury interior design.
Italian Restaurant – Warm & Elegant Sound Environment
For the Italian restaurant, the system was designed to deliver a warm, natural, and well-balanced sound signature, ideal for fine dining environments where music enhances the atmosphere without overpowering conversation.
Installed system:
1 SOUND Cannon C4
1 SOUND Cannon C6
1 SOUND WSUB45
1 SOUND SUB12
RAM Audio Deneb 2.5 Q amplifiers
This configuration provides smooth high-frequency detail, natural midrange reproduction, and controlled low-frequency support, perfectly complementing the refined ambiance of the space.
Asian Restaurant – Precision & Dynamic Clarity
In the Asian restaurant, a similar system architecture was implemented, optimized for a slightly more dynamic and energetic atmosphere while maintaining elegance and acoustic comfort.
Installed system:
1 SOUND Cannon C4
1 SOUND Cannon C6
1 SOUND WSUB45
MiniSUB5
1 SOUND SUB12
RAM Audio Deneb 2.5 Q amplifiers
The result is uniform coverage, excellent speech intelligibility, and high-fidelity music reproduction, ensuring a premium listening experience throughout the dining area.
Rooftop Area – Power & Flexibility for Day and Night
The rooftop bar, as an open and multifunctional venue for daytime lounge operation and evening events, required a more powerful and scalable sound system capable of delivering high output with full control and clarity.
Installed system:
1 SOUND CT28
1 SOUND SUB2112
1 SOUND Cannon C8
1 SOUND SUB12
1 SOUND SUB28
1 SOUND Cannon C5
RAM Audio Deneb 10 Q
RAM Audio Deneb 5 Q
RAM Audio Deneb 2.5 Q amplifiers
This configuration ensures deep, controlled low-frequency performance and even sound distribution across the entire rooftop, making the space equally suitable for relaxed daytime ambiance and high-energy evening events.
Acoustic Design & System Integration
During the design phase, detailed acoustic simulations and SPL coverage predictions were carried out to determine optimal loudspeaker placement and system configuration for each zone.
The installation was executed fully in accordance with the acoustic design, achieving excellent results in terms of uniform coverage, tonal consistency, and listener comfort.
Special attention was given to aesthetic integration. Loudspeaker grille finishes were carefully selected and matched with the interior design of each area, allowing the audio system to blend seamlessly into the architectural concept without compromising the venue’s visual identity.
Client & Partner Testimonials
Dejan Filipović, CEO of Soundology:
“From the very first meeting with the investors, it was clear that they knew exactly what they wanted. There was no room for compromise — with such a high-end design concept, only a world-class audio system could be considered. It is a true pleasure to be part of one of the most modern ‘society’ venues in Europe today.”
Genti Rizaj, Art Director of Ysabel Society:
“With my twenty-five years in the clubbing industry in New York, running what was considered one of the best clubs in the world with one of the best sound systems ever, and with my Burning Man festival experience, booking over five hundred DJs, and owning a club that was ranked in the top ten clubs in the world for many years in Kosovo, I must say that the sound system by 1 SOUND is by far something I have never, ever come across before.
I am truly blessed to have been here since day one — from the moment the system was ordered and installed, to the very first time we ever played music through it. The team has been beyond professional. I have learned so much along the way and I continue to study and improve.
Even today, I must say that this sound system has not only changed the way I listen to music, but it has also taught Kosovo and its people what sound is truly about — how far a sound system can go and how music should be experienced in the modern age.
Thank you for everything. I am truly blessed to have you in my life, and I hope this is only the beginning of more collaboration, friendship, and love. Thank you, thank you, thank you. God bless.”
