This is the first World Cup in Africa, with 32 teams from all over the world participating in the event. In order to ensure the orderly development of various activities during the World Cup, South Africa has carefully built the audio and light projects of the 10 major venues to ensure that the sound reinforcement and lighting work on site is foolproof. At the same time, the World Cup in South Africa is also keeping up with the trend of the times, introducing 3D technology to TV broadcast and live experience for the first time.

Venue sound system is guaranteed
Prosound Audio Lighting Co., Ltd. said earlier that nine of the top 10 stadium sound projects in the 2010 World Cup in South Africa have completed 98%.
As with any other location, high-quality sound transmission is a key part of today's stadium sound design, especially for World Cup stadium venues. Of course, will South Africa's World Cup venue sound system be degraded to the next "Vuvuzela" (Note: Vuvuzela is a horn of more than 1 meter long, said to be used in ancient Africa to convene tribal members, and its name Vuvuzela is from Zulu The translation of the word "making noise" has become another version of South Africa's "small trumpet" remains to be seen. It is reported that last year at the opening ceremony of the FIFA Confederations Cup, fans kept blowing Vuvuzela to interfere with the normal operation of the event.

The sound system of the World Cup venues includes: crowd evacuation and control of sound reinforcement; playground command system; live commentary with good voice reproduction; music entertainment playback; advertising or song playback; post-match news speech; and temporary non-sports events system.
Prosound has actively bid for the 2006 World Cup audio project. When the 2010 World Cup in South Africa came, the team that participated in the last World Cup sound reinforcement mission successfully used the accumulated experience to win the 2010 10 sound reinforcement projects (each contract) Is specified and submitted separately).

According to Mark, the company's technical director, "We have been in close contact with South African venue architects and contractors for the past 30 years. We have gained a wealth of experience and expertise from the beginning."
He added that “the bidding company and the engineers played a pivotal role in the bidding for the 2010 South Africa World Cup venue sound reinforcement project, because this glorious project is a turnkey†integrated solution. The customer does not participate in the implementation of the overall solution, but only after the completion of the project, the “key†can open the machine door for equipment operation), different architects and consultants need to meet the design requirements on time and within budget. ."
In most venues, basic normative tests such as sound pressure level and frequency response have been carried out, and the world's best international and local brands have been deployed in the equipment of audio equipment. These include PEAVEY's media matrix audio processors, EV and Dynacord speakers, EV microphones, MIDAS mixers, and Crest power amplifiers.
Although there are advanced sound-building software on the market that can help design the layout of audio systems and speakers in stadiums, Prosound believes that these still can't be compared with the company's 20 years of experience in sound engineering design and installation. Competing.
