HARMAN’s Professional Audio Solutions Deployed For Presidential Speech During Tsinghua University’s Centennial Celebration

BEIJING, China – Regularly ranked as one of the top universities in China and around the world, Tsinghua University, also known as Qinghua, recently celebrated its 100th anniversary. Held at 24th Night, an arena capable of accommodating 11,000 spectators and 2,000 performers, the celebration was addressed by Chinese President Hu Jintao through a complete HARMAN Professional sound reinforcement system deployed on a temporary stage outside the venue.

The University relied on two HARMAN Soundcraft Vi6 digital consoles for mixing, 48 JBL VERTEC® VT4889 line fullsize array elements and 24 VT4880A arrayable subwoofers for main sound reinforcement, 16 VT4887 compact line array elements for near-field compensating speakers and 16 PRX512M monitors. Ninety Crown IT9000 amplifiers powered the system, processed through four BSS BLU-80 devices.

The event was divided into four chapters, each symbolizing the University. “Water,” symbolizing a the historical origin of Tsinghua; “Wood,” ten trees, symbolizing one hundred years of personnel training; “Clear,” for the spirit of the University; and “China,” as in all sides of the country celebrating as one.
