Estadio Corona Elevates Fan Experience with Danley Sound Labs

“Our team has had a business relationship with Estadio Corona since the stadium was built in 2009,” said Albert Haua, owner of Audio Video & Control (AV&C). “We installed the initial audio solution in the stadium as well as all of the stadium’s CCTV, A/V content server, intercom, and broadcast camera infrastructure for televised games.”

The existing system, installed during the stadium’s initial build, had completed its lifecycle and a new sound system was needed. In reimagining the audio system, the facility directors sought an unobtrusive, high performance audio system with superior intelligibility, but that would also elevate the fan experience.

“We knew that meeting those sorts of performance requirements on a tight budget can be difficult,” said Haua. “However, from our experience we knew Danley would be the clear choice.”

The AV&C team in conjunction with Danley Sound Labs conducted several demonstrations with Danley Sound Labs’ loudspeakers, subwoofers, and amplifiers.

While there were few challenges during installation, rigging was a challenge.

“We had a very small footprint to work with within the tower,” said Haua. “Everything had to be done according to the dimensions and space available. It was like building a custom suit to make sure everything fit correctly. However, it’s still amazing that such a small footprint, and number, of speakers can create such a large performance.”

Estadio Corona’s head of entertainment said this of the new system, “We’re really happy because all of our fans can now understand listen clearly participating in all of the activities we organize both before the game and during halftime.”

A Santos Laguna fan after a recent game said,” now, I understand everything and it’s loud enough to hear from any section. It’s much better than the former sound system.”

“I believe it’s Tom Danley’s designs like the Synergy Horn™ are what really make the difference,” said Haua. “What a single Danley box can do, compared to a traditional line array, is truly impressive. The coherence achieved, even frequency response at every distance, accurate coverage, sound quality, power delivered, with an even 100dB+ on every area inside the stadium….it’s just outstanding compared to any other products on the market today.”
