The sound reinforcement system was deployed by Beijing Tianyin Cai Yun, who managed the sound for the 2008 Beijing Olympics. To cover the entire audience area, line arrays were divided into a lifted area and ground cover. Four clusters of four JBL VERTEC VT4889's and two VT4887A line array elements were lifted, and six clusters of five VT4889's and an additional dozen VT4880 subwoofers were stacked on the ground throughout the arena. Twenty-four SRX712M loudspeakers with external sub-frequency processing rounded out the speakers for the event.
Crown's IT-HD series amplifiers powered the line arrays and balanced the speaker delay. Soundcraft Vi6 and Vi1 digital consoles mixed the PA. Producers of the event credited Soundcraft's user-friendly operation, high sound quality and stable performance for the successful show.
Performances during the Olympic Start Celebration included British performer Cher Lloyd, American pop singer Kelly King and Chinese pop sensation Tan Weiwei, an AKG artist highlighted the night by singing her hit, "My Life Would Suck Without You."
