NORTHRIDGE, California
– Filling the Bird’s Nest National Stadium in Beijing with fans, athletes,
country representatives and musicians, BMW China held a festival to cheer on
the Chinese Olympic Delegation before the 2012 games in London. The event
featured more than 100 BMW vehicles throughout the venue, with multiple
performing artists and Chinese Olympic figures including Lang Ping, Yang Wei,
Wang Liqin and Li Xiaoshuang.

deployed HARMAN’s new JBL VTX line array system and VerTec® line arrays to provide uniform sound coverage
throughout the nationally-acclaimed stadium. Mixing the event were Jin Shaogang
and Ma Xin, who were responsible for mixing the opening and closing ceremonies
of the 2008 Beijing Olympic games and therefore already familiar with the venue
and its demanding coverage requirements. Additional technical support for the
event was provided by Advanced Communications Equipment (ACE), the largest
HARMAN distributor in China.
The sound reinforcement system design featured four ground-stacked JBL
VTX line arrays each consisting of four V25 line array elements and two S28
subwoofers for main VIP area coverage. Twelve additional ground-stacked
VerTec line arrays, each containing three
VT4889-1 line array elements and two VT4880A arrayable subwoofers, provided
supplemental coverage for the lower seating areas and to cover the upper
tribune of the stadium, eight line array clusters were hung, each consisting of
eight VerTec VT4888 midsize line
array elements and two VT4882 arrayable subwoofers.
Crown I-Tech HD series amplifiers with built-in DSP processing powered
the PA system. With Crown and its industry-leading flexibility, delay and
equalization was easily adjusted during the event. At the front of house
position was a Soundcraft Vi6 digital console, while Vi6 and Vi1 digital
consoles were utilized for monitoring.
System design engineer Joe Rao of Bejing TianYin CaiYun International
Culture & Media Co., Ltd commented, “This was the biggest production in the
Bird’s Nest since the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games. Preparations for the
one-night show took two weeks and it was a great event with superb sound
quality and excellent coverage.”
