Extreme Audio Sheraton is a new showroom created by Extreme Audio to have the best possible presentation of our products, in an architectural style which is unique in Europe, and even very ambitious on a worldwide level. It’s been hosted in the basement of the prestigious Sheraton hotel in the financial district of Istanbul, Maslak.

This former casino has been totally renovated and modified with acoustically very benefic walls and rooms, with a living room-like ambiance. It’s been designed like a Hifi village, where every listening room is closed, with a door to access the room. The entrance walls are made of acoustically isolated double thermal windows to avoid disturbances from another room. In the centre of the surface has been created a garden with chairs, a bar and a professional Expresso machine to serve our customers the best coffee beside the best sound.

Total surface 1300m² ; 12 demo rooms, 3 offices, two sales rooms for software (CD, LP) and accessories, kitchenette, large warehouse (300m²).

We are open from Monday until Saturday from 9:30 to 20:00 without interruption.
