New audio system issues
stadium topology
Four levels of tribune
in the arena
High
Medium
Low
Ground
+ internal rooms (VIP lodges, journalists, restaurants…)
+ parvis (entrance, around the stadium)

7June 2011
New audio system issues
stadium configuration change
Lower tribunes can be moved for providing more space on the ground
=> Audio system must adapt to all these changes
Exemple: athletism configuration
8June 2011
New audio system issues:
sound reinforcement AND emergency sound system
Excellent audio quality and audio comfort
for all spectators
whatever the stadium configuration
Excellent audio intelligibillity
for all spectators
whatever the stadium configuration
Full redundancy, at all levels
Full control of status of all audio equipments, from control room

Auvitran provided the
EtherSound backbone
connection and
supervision for all
audio equipments
10June 2011
New audio system architecture
focus on arena sound reinforcement and emergency
Nexo NXAmp
and
AuviTran AVNF49-ES
provide unique monitoring
features
The status of the NXAmps
can be monitored in real time
through the AVNF49-ES
devices
11June 2011
AuviTran AVNF49-ES + Nexo NXAmp
Unique monitoring features
EtherSound connected NXAmps can provide important information about its internal parameters for the system, such as:
Impedance over a specific threshold for each channel
Impedance under a specific threshold for each channel
Temperature limit overrun for each channel
The combination NXAmps + AVNF49-ES provides unique supervision features about the amplification system
NXAmps are also equipped with GPIs and GPOs, and can communicate through that for actions
12June 2011
New audio system architecture
focus on control room
The full system can be
controlled and supervised
from the control room
Exemple: selection of operating
mode (match, athletism, full
stadium, middle and low levels
only…)
