Sounding a stadium is a difficult task. The sound in the stadium must meet the requirements of sports leagues and provide a comfortable environment for fans. Getting sound into a stadium requires a lot of preparatory work. GT Light specialists will prepare a project, carry out all the necessary measurements and develop a plan for the arrangement of equipment.
Before purchasing equipment, acoustic measurements are taken, on the basis of which a 3D model of the sports facility is created.
Reverberation
To create an effective speaker system, one of the most important parameters to figure out about a room is the reverberation time - the decay of the echo.
If this time is long, the room is called echoing. In such structures, it is difficult to distinguish between speech and other sounds, they merge into a single hum. If there is practically no echo, then the room becomes "deaf". It is also uncomfortable to be in it, and conversations in such rooms tire both the speaker and the listener.
Sports arenas are classified as echoing structures. And with more noise from fans, commentators, music, and announcements than usual, it is especially difficult to achieve intelligibility.
There are certain parameters recommended for various premises. Sports arenas are no exception. Achieving these parameters allows the correct choice of interior decoration and architectural solutions. The task of specialists in the selection and design of a speaker system is to comply with these regulations. And this can be achieved by competently combining the parameters of the room and the sound system.
Measurements of acoustic parameters
For measurements, special equipment is used - sound analyzers.
For measurements to be performed correctly, it is necessary to ensure absolute silence at the facility. The arena is virtually divided into several sectors and "micro-explosions" are created at different points using firecrackers. At the same time, a sound propagation analysis is carried out.
The next stage is the creation of a computer 3D model of the stadium bowl. After entering the data obtained during the measurements into it, an accurate architectural and acoustic calculation is performed. According to these data, it is already possible to select specific technical solutions, brands and models of acoustic equipment, as well as to accurately determine its quantity.
The choice of equipment is also influenced by the specifics of the facility. Our company uses only acoustics recommended for installation in crowded places. These devices are made of durable, durable materials that meet safety requirements. For open-air stadiums, devices are used, the body of which has an all-weather covering.
System integration of GT Light
Equipping a sports facility with professional sound is only part of a wide range of services that we can provide. The integration of different types of equipment will save the budget, as well as make the management of the entire digital infrastructure of the sports arena as functional and convenient as possible.
