Community State-of-the-Art Sound for Guangzhou University City
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 six Symetrix Cobra DSP systems, 29 QSC CX1202V amplifiers, four 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.
