Located in the Kaohsiung City in south Taiwan and constructed in 1998, Kaohsiung Arena is one of the biggest domes in Taiwan. Currently occupying an area of 56,000sq.m, the multifunctional sports arena has a seating capacity of 15,000.
On 28 September 2008, the Kaohsiung Arena was officially opened after a lievely traditional Chinese Lion-Dance and all the guests saw the Proel Speakers making their debut at the Arena.
The City Mayoress, Ms. Chen welcomed all the guests in the grand opening ceremony and stated, "This arena will be a place not only for sports but also for concerts, speeches and even arts exhibitions in the near future. Apart from that, the sound system in this building is terrific."
Proel Sound Reinforcement engineers, in collaboration with Fantasy Sound International and the installation engineers, created a detailed simulation of the sound system using the EASE 4 software.
The Proel TFLV Speaker series were installed in clusters - 48 x TFLV152P8 as the main speakers, 24 x TFLV1515TB custom made speakers as supplement speakers, and six TFLV12P8s for monitors. 34 of the new HPD series of digital amplifiers provide the power.
"Our customer is very happy with the quality of the sound reinforcement in the Kaohsiung Arena," stated Vicky Huang from Fantasy Sound International, "and we are honoured to have been able to work with the Kaohsiung Arena project. With the World Games at the door, the arena has a particular importance and significance for the people in Taiwan.
