Tommex installs CODA Audio system for top-flight Polish football stadium …
“Replacing the sound system was crucial for us and significantly expanded our capabilities. Thanks to this, we can create sports events with even greater energy, music, and sound quality - fans can truly feel part of the action in every part of the stadium.
The Piotr Wieczorek Munipal Stadium is home to professional football club Piast Gliwice, who compete in the Ekstraklasa, the top division of the Polish football league. The Stadium underwent a complete reconstruction in 2010, which included the building of four fully-covered, all-seated stands. In order to meet the demands of a contemporary match-day environment, the Stadium authorities recently invested in a new sound system for the ground.
Leading audio specialist Tommex was engaged to design, supply, and install the system, which as well as providing crystal clear audio for announcements to every seat in an often noisy environment, could also deliver professional-grade audio for the music playback and DJ sets which are now a strong feature of the match-day experience. Tommex installed a CODA Audio system to meet the requirements for high SPL, wide frequency range, flexible installation, and weatherproofing.
Tommex deployed CODA Audio G515-Pro loudspeakers to achieve complete coverage of the stadium. G515-Pro is a two-way, compact versatile system with high power handling of 600W, featuring an ultra low distortion 15” neodymium woofer and a 1” neodymium compression driver coupled to a 90° x 60° rotatable elliptical waveguide. Easily mounted in the roof areas of the stands thanks to CODA’s horizontal u-bracket accessory (A15HG), the system used the marine-grade (MG1) weatherproofed versions of the loudspeakers, which were driven by CODA Audio’s LINUS DSP amplification (LINUS 12C and LINUS 6.4i).
The Gliwicki Klub Sportowy PIAST SA authorities are very happy with their new CODA Audio system according to Commercial Proxy, Michał Kozioł
“Replacing the sound system was crucial for us and significantly expanded our capabilities. Thanks to this, we can create sports events with even greater energy, music, and sound quality – fans can truly feel part of the action in every part of the stadium.
“During sports events, good sound reinforcement is essential to the audience experience. We had received feedback from fans pointing out that at certain moments the sound in some sections of the stadium was not sufficiently audible. Now, we can build the atmosphere of a match not only through visuals but also with top-level sound quality.”
