Community Provides State-of-the-Art Sound for Guangzhou University City
Guangzhou, China -- Guangzhou University in Guangdong Province is one of the
largest and most prestigious university communities in China. With the
largest investment in infrastructure in China's higher education facilities
to-date, Guangzhou University City is comprised of ten universities and
educates 200,000 students on a campus that houses 10 stadiums, 10
gymnasiums, 1 natatorium and 1 large central stadium. Sanecore Audio Ltd
was appointed as the sound system designer and supplier for 16 venues within
this "university city" and its team of engineers was set the task of meeting
the very highest criteria for audio, with results that were to be
world-class.
Eight gymnasiums were outfitted with Community R-Series loudspeakers, Crest
amplifiers and Symetrix DSP systems. In a classic athletic venue like the
multipurpose 4,986-seat Guangdong Pharmaceutical University Gymnasium, 16
Community R2 and 4 R.5 loudspeakers were installed, along with 11 Crest
Audio CPX amplifiers and Symetrix Express Cobra DSP systems for audio
control. Similar equipment was supplied to the each of the Gymnasiums
situated within the vast campus.
Community R-Series was also chosen for installation in the outdoor stadiums
of the South China University, Guangzhou University of Chinese Medicine,
Guangzhou University, Sun Yat Sen University and Guangdong University of
Foreign Studies. "The university desired a state-of-the-art sound system,"
said Jun Zhu, Sanecore's Director of Sales. "Community R-Series was the
natural choice for these athletic venues due to their outstanding
performance and weather-resistant qualities, and simply because they are
proven to be the best for stadium sound." The 97,000-square meter Central
Stadium for track and field is the largest of all the venues, with 50 R2
loudspeakers installed, as well as 6 Symetrix Cobra DSP systems, 29 QSC
CX1202V amplifiers, 4 CM16A monitors and an Allen & Heath GL3800/40 console.
In total, the multiple venues of Guangzhou University City utilized 124
Community R2, 124 R.5 systems, 14 R1's, 30 R.25's and 6 RMG200 loudspeakers;
47 Crest Audio amplifiers and 20 Symetrix DSP systems. The new sound
systems made an impressive debut during China's Eighth National University
Students' Athletic Competition which was held in various facilities
throughout Guangzhou's campus in 2007.
