Despite its equestrian pedigree, racegoers were not getting the best experience at this historic site due to the old sound system not being up to par with the spectators’ expectations. When you’re at a race you need to know which horse is in the lead, who has fallen, and most importantly – who won. Due to the poor sound quality, and the age of the previous sound system, the crowd simply couldn’t hear what was going on.
The main outdoor system comprises six high power Community R2-77Z-EN full-range defined coverage three-way loudspeakers, located under the main canopy at a height of 25m. In addition to high intelligibility speech, the new system was specified to provide good quality music and the R2 delivers both. These provide smooth coverage of the main spectator standing areas, Premier Enclosure and betting ring. Sixteen R SERIES R.35-3896 loudspeakers were also installed inside the venue itself.
