Overview

The Central Energy Trust Arena includes Arena 1, a multi-purpose outdoor arena, and three main indoor arenas being Arena 2 (also known as the Fly Palmy Arena), Arena 3, and Arena 4 which itself is divided into the Ballroom and the B&M Centre. These spaces are currently served by sound systems that are in desperate need of upgrading.

The loudspeakers covering the grandstand and tiered seating around the outside oval of Arena 1 are coming to end of life, with drivers often needing replacing. There’s also insufficient coverage. The indoor arenas each have their own sound systems that are currently linked in an analog fashion, which itself has inherent problems with noise (ground loops and/or electro-magnetic interference) and disparity in volume levels between spaces. The loudspeakers and amplifiers in these spaces either need replacing or cleaning and checking.

What we are after is a digital networked audio solution where an audio input in any space can be routed to any and every space, including between Arena 1 and the indoor arenas, with touch pads in certain locations that allow for basic control, intermediary control via iPad, and advanced control accessed via a web-based GUI, both onsite and offsite. At certain locations we would like Bluetooth input as well. We want the ability for two people, each with a wireless microphone, to walk from one indoor arena to another and be heard throughout all arenas with no drop-outs and having to swap mics when going from one space to another. We are wanting the ability to address any and every space by use of a paging mic in the reception area. We are also wanting the ability to tap into the system with temporary inputs/outputs as need requires and add to the system as existing spaces are included or new spaces are constructed. The ability to transport video through the same system is a plus.
