The University of Maine’s Alfond Arena, a cornerstone of Black Bears athletics, is undergoing exciting renovations to enhance the experience for fans and players alike, with the help of Pro AV Systems. As the home of the university’s ice hockey teams and a hub for campus events, the arena is getting a significant upgrade in its audio-visual systems, ensuring state-of-the-art sound quality for everyone in attendance and those following the games remotely. The improvements aim to maintain Alfond Arena’s reputation as a premier venue for collegiate hockey while meeting the evolving expectations of modern audiences.
Our Solution
One of the standout features of the university’s renovations done by Pro AV Systems was the integration of Biamp’s advanced ceiling speakers, designed to deliver crystal-clear sound throughout the arena. These speakers provide consistent coverage across all seating areas, ensuring that fans never miss a moment of the action. Complementing this system are Dynacord amplifiers, which offer the power and precision needed to produce rich, immersive audio that brings the intensity of live hockey to life. Whether it’s the clash of sticks on the ice or the roar of the crowd, every sound is amplified with clarity and depth.
For those watching from home or following along on broadcasts, the arena now features a Yamaha mixer tailored to meet the demands of professional sports production. This mixer enables seamless integration of commentary, in-game sounds, and crowd noise, creating a dynamic listening experience that mirrors the excitement of being at the game. Together, these technologies ensure that play-by-play broadcasts are as vivid and engaging as the live experience, offering fans an unparalleled connection to the action.
Results
These cutting-edge upgrades not only enhance the atmosphere within Alfond Arena but also elevate the university’s ability to connect with its community of supporters worldwide. By combining Biamp speakers, Dynacord amplifiers, and Yamaha’s professional-grade mixer, the University of Maine is setting a new standard for collegiate sports audio, solidifying Alfond Arena’s place as a leader in fan engagement and game-day excitement.
