Martin Audio brings crystal-clear audio to Tokyo's new Giants Town stadium

The system installed in this baseball venue in Japan is based on the CDD series speakers from Martin Audio, with processing Symetrix and network switching Netgear via Dante.

Opened a few months ago at Inagi, near tokyo (Japan), he estadio Giants Town It is the headquarters of the Yomiuri Giants and will also host amateur women's and men's baseball games, as well as events and concerts.

This stadium three floors and with capacity for 2.900 seating has been equipped with a system of heated sound (WR), based on the Martin Audio technology, aiming to create a listening environment that offers clarity and warmth.

With acoustic planning and construction by Denon Engineering, The sound system configuration consists of the CDD10-WR main speakers, models line CDD6TX-WR of 100 V/70 V for seats premium, CDD8-WR portable enclosures for the outside garden lawn area and Adorn A40 microphone for the referee area inside the field.

Transmission is carried out through red Dante, con Symetrix processing and distribution and network switching Netgear. The acoustic simulation and adjustment have been the responsibility of Audio Brains.

The Martin Audio solution was intended to achieve immersive atmosphere and a high clarity and intelligibility in each area from the stadium, as befits a professional sport. In particular, the design of the speakers had to be close to the audience.

As the Denon Engineering design team points out: “The emphasis in G-Town is not simply on sound production, but in providing the optimal acoustic environment for each zone and purpose. The type and placement of speakers are carefully adjusted based on how the sound is delivered and heard.

The Martin Audio CDD10-WR devices “deliver clear sound over a wide area and are used as main speakers. These boxes are weather and dust resistant, which prevents deterioration and breakdowns caused by wind, rain and humidity, added from Denon Engineering.

The capacity of mitigate sound leaks outside the stadium was another key aspect of the installation. In outdoor venues there is a risk of sound traveling in unexpected directions..

At Giants Town Stadium, The speakers are housed in specific boxes and their directionality is controlled, ensuring accurate audio transmission within the stands, while minimizing sound leakage outside of it.

Martin Audio CDD6TX-WR Speakers Enhance Immersive Seating Experience VIP Excite from the stadium, located closer to the playing field. This special viewing area offers an immersive environment, G-Town exclusive.

In the wide space of a stadium, the sound from the speakers has a time lag. For example, It is calculated that the distance of 122 meters between base and center field results in a delay of approximately 0,36 seconds, which may affect the quality of ads and background music.

The delay correction has guaranteed that the sound can be heard naturally from any seat, creating a comfortable acoustic space. The speakers on the first floor also serve as emergency speakers.

Among other challenges of the project was also the sound control room, located on the third floor, and concerns that this would make communication between the referee and public address announcer difficult during matches.

To solve this problem, they were installed microphones in the field, specifically the Adorn A40 model from Martin Audio, that facilitate fluid communication between both.

Central control system prioritizes operability with Symetrix technology. In addition to intuitive microphone management, background music and other elements, The screen can be customized to suit the user's experience level.
