VITORIA-GASTEIZ, Spain – Grupo Ingevision (Ekintza) worked with D.A.S. Audio’s Sound Projects department led by Eva Argandoña to upgrade the sound system used at the remodeled Buesa Arena here.
The multi-use venue currently seats over 15,000 spectators and is home to the city’s basketball team, Baskonia. Víctor Catalá from the D.A.S. Audio Engineering Department was on hand for system adjustments and set up, and the project was coordinated by the northern zone manager, Juan José Soto.
The main sound reinforcement system for the stands includes 40 D.A.S. Aero 12A self-powered line array systems distributed in four 10-unit linear formations, each facing one of the four main stands. D.A.S DSP-2060 digital signal processors take care of the monitoring and management of the system.
With their broad horizontal and vertical coverage, the Aero 12A line array systems proved well-suited to this type of facility, where the stands are steeply inclined and the echoes produced by the overhangs present endemic challenges.
Four D.A.S. BiDriver systems were installed directly underneath the centrally-positioned octagonal scoreboard to provide optimum sound coverage for the court. The passive systems, chosen in part for spoken-word intelligibility, are supported by D.A.S. SLA-2600, a switchmode power supply amplifier, and a digital signal processor, the D.A.S. DSP-26.
