Abstract
Stadium sound systems are always complicated projects. There is the need to deal with filling large spaces with sound and the requirement to comply with the many (and conflicting) voice alarm regulations.
Roland Hemming will explain the story behind the new sound system at Lord’s cricket ground. It uses the latest audio networking technology, a brand new signal processor and it involved unprecedented co-operation between two manufacturers. He will also explain how he deals with project risk and with the complexity of doing the work in many phases and with the fact that the ground is in a residential area.
