Sports hall Beveren - PA system

Sports hall Beveren - PA system

A completely new top sports hall has just opened in Beveren, the new home of the women's volleyball club Asterix AVO. The new hall contains 1,500 seats, which is necessary for the strict European volleyball guidelines. Asterix AVO is a Belgian volleyball club for women playing in the first division of Belgium. They have won the Belgian Cup fifteen times and twelve times champion in the Premier League. Last season, the team finished first and that gave them the right to a European ticket.

Furthermore, it is also the intention to let major sporting events continue such as the Special Olympics.

In the future, the Yellow Tigers, the Belgian national volleyball team, will also play their home games in this sports hall. Besides volleyball, many other sports clubs in the region will use the infrastructure for badminton, indoor football and other indoor sports. But also during the day the new complex will be fully utilized. Schools in the area are welcome to organize sports lessons during school hours.

To comply with one of the many strict rules for European competitions, imposed by the European Volleyball Association, a complete PA system was installed. In collaboration with Engie Fabricom, a complete AUDAC installation was installed in the new sports hall. The customer had a clear vision: having a sound installation that can go loud enough and is spread out so that it is clear and understandable from any position in the sports hall.
 

"The sound is a huge difference with the old sports hall. The loudest sound is crystal clear, and it is also very convenient that we can control the music from a central control panel in the sports hall." Thomas de Vetter, head of sport (Beveren)
