Designed by local integrator Audiovision, The new sound system is configured to cover the current surface, of 20.000 m², covering the competition infrastructure, VIP areas, leisure spaces and training areas for international athletes.

Besides, has been designed for a future expansion, as Phoenix Riders' development plans include adding high-capacity stands, new competition tracks, restaurants and a second outdoor court, which will mean an area of 150.000 m².

“One of the main technical challenges has been to implement a reliable and scalable infrastructure that allows long-term flexibility and high-performance audio distribution”, explains Claudio Albu, by Audiovision.

To face this challenge, The company has designed the system on the Dante audio over IP platform, which allows a flexible, real-time routing of sources, extremely low latency, and unified volume and zone control, and complete integration with all installed equipment.

for the project, Audiovision has selected audio technology from Powersoft, configuring your amplifiers series Mezzo, Unica and Quattrocanali to achieve redundancy, reliability long term and optimal performance.

“The system had to satisfy a wide range of requirements, from a powerful sound reinforcement for sporting events to ambient audio refined in hospitality areas and efficient communication in administrative areas -adds Albu-. A has been implemented distributed amplification structure, with five different centers located in the main functional areas”.

The restaurant area is equipped with equipment Quattrocanali 2404 DSP+D y Mezzo 604AD, while the cafeteria, the conference room and warm-up area have Mezzo 604AD and 602AD. The covered pavilion combines two Mezzo 322AD and two Unique 8K8.

With his five differentiated audio zones, the Phoenix Riders facility takes full advantage of the Dynamic music distribution (DMD) de Powersoft.

“DMD offers system integrators the ability to scale inputs and zones, conveniently and efficiently, thanks to the dynamic routing functions integrated into its amplification platforms, like Unica and Mezzo -specifies Simone Scaramuzza, EMEA Sales Manager at Powersoft-. Facilitates the distribution of music between different areas, regardless of the source, without the need for a centralized DSP”.

The configuration is completed with speakers of Audac, selected and distributed according to the acoustic needs of each area. Dedicated interfaces, including Powersoft WM Touch, allow a full control of the DMD system and intuitive access to all key areas of the facility.

This configuration makes the audio system not only suitable for its current purpose, but it is also ready for future expansion, without service interruptions no need for significant reconfigurations.

The system's capabilities were first tested a few months ago, in the first jumping competitions. “With the center now fully open to the public and the reception so positive, We are delighted to have offered this high-quality sound experience to visitors and athletes alike., exceeding the standards that Phoenix Riders sought”, concludes Vasile Mara, general director of Audiovis.
