Biamp's Community loudspeakers were recently installed at the three adjoining Carioca Arenas – built for the 2016 Summer Olympic & Paralympic Games in Rio de Janeiro – located in the heart of the Barra Olympic Park. Biamp's Community’s R SERIES loudspeakers were chosen on their track record of proven reliability, high output, high intelligibility and accurate coverage.
A combination of R.5MAX models were used to provide the dispersion patterns required for even coverage of the 360-degree seating areas. A total of 96 R.5MAX loudspeakers have been installed in all three multipurpose venues.
Now that their hosting duties for the basketball, wrestling and judo events during Rio 2016 have come to an end, Carioca Arena 1 and Carioca Arena 2 will become part of a permanent athletic training center, with facilities for a variety of sporting disciplines. Carioca Arena 3, which hosted the taekwondo and fencing competitions, will now transform into a specialist sports school for 850 full-time students.
