Audiovisual equipment for major events such as Euro 2024
Managing a large-scale sporting event like Euro 2024 is a Herculean task, requiring meticulous planning and substantial investment. Audiovisual (AV) equipment is one of the essential elements required for these mega-events. It’s well known that AV technology greatly enhances the excitement spectators feel at these events, whether on the pitch or from the comfort of their living room.
This blog explains why AV equipment is essential and exactly how much it costs to organize an event of this scale.
Enhancing the spectator experience
- Visual clarity and immersive experience
The visual aspect is of course very important for any event. High-definition screens with LED displays and projection screens guarantee good visibility from any seat in the stadium. This is essential for the development of pre-game and half-time shows that totally captivate spectators. Advanced screens and projectors enable multiple functionalities for better delivery of replays, commercials and important match statistics, enhancing the overall fan experience.
2. Audio quality
The stadium sound system must be loud, clear and synchronized. High-quality loudspeakers, amplifiers and mixers must be installed to ensure that announcements, music and commentary are heard throughout the stadium. Superior audio quality enhances the atmosphere, making the crowd feel more engaged and connected to the action on the field.
