The massive Doors Park leisure complex has opened on a 10,000 sq metre site in the Turkish city of Eskisehir, with a total capacity of 6,000.

Owned by Gurdal Abaci, the sound system was specified by Halim Ozkan and Laurent Ferron of the Telesine Group, who started working on the project at the end of 2001.

Doors Park incorporates two restaurants, an al fresco night club and an indoor live venue, a wine cave and a conference room. Martin Audio loudspeakers are the preferred playback brand in each of the zones.

The first restaurant — Doors Kebab — offers a wide range of traditional Turkish food, while background music, provided from a CD source, is played out through four EM26’s (the complementary Doors Balik fish restaurant offers a similar sound system set-up).

On-season clubbing is conducted outside in the Doors Club, before the action moves inside to Doors Live, where up to 2,500 people can enjoy exclusively live entertainment during the winter months.

The sound systems are identical in each location. The PA includes a highly-specified Blackline system comprising six H3’s and a pair of S218 subs (processed through the dedicated DX1 controller), with a further six EM186’s (and EMX2A system controller).

In the live club, onstage monitoring is provided by a pair of legendary LE400C’s, with six Blackline F15’s operating as stage fills. There are also a pair of F15’s as return monitors, while a pair of EM26’s serve as the DJ’s reference sound.

The system is powered by Crest Audio amplification, with LA Audio equalisation. Lighting is from the Martin Professional roster of moving heads, controlled by an Avolite Azure 2000.
The Wine Cave offers a choice of fine wines from around he world as well as local wines, and visiting guests are entertained by CD-derived background music played back through a pair of EM26’s.

Finally, the 45-capacity conference room offers full AV facilities, with a pair of EM26’s reinforcing the audio and Seleco providing the projection.

All the technology was supplied by Martin Audio’s Turkish distributors, Istanbul Telesine Sound & Lighting Systems AS.
The company specialises in distribution and turnkey installation of professional sound, light and visual systems, from their base in Turkey’s second city.

Over the years they have built up a strong customer base of prestige clients, including five star hotel complexes, first class holiday villages, theatres, TV stations, conference halls, cinemas, theme parks, discotheques, pubs, cafes, theatres and TV stations.

Although the company was founded in 1989, it had been working in the same field for five years previous to that. Due to their vast experience, they have managed to
win many of the significant contracts offered in
the Turkish entertainment industry.

In the year 2002, Telesine AS became known as the Telesine Group, and now has regional bases in Ankara, Antalya and Bodrum — with Azmir, Side and Adana to follow over the next couple of years.

Telesine will continue to follow their core markets for professional sound, lighting and visual systems, offering a range of services including Design & Consultancy, Import & Export, Sales & Installation and Technical Service & Support.
