Finley Stadium Audio System Upgrade Case Study

This case study outlines the audio system upgrade at Finley Stadium in Chattanooga, Tennessee, a 20,000-seat multipurpose venue. The objective was to replace an aging sound system with a modern solution that delivers exceptional intelligibility and impactful music reproduction while adhering to structural and budget constraints. The project involved collaboration between Finley Stadium, Smart Systems, and Biamp, which provided Community LVH-906 steerable venue horns and design services. The installation faced unique challenges due to existing structural limitations, necessitating careful planning and innovative design solutions. The upgraded audio system enhances the fan experience during sporting events, concerts, and community gatherings, ensuring reliable performance and consistent audio quality. This transformation reflects the growing demand for high-quality audio in modern stadiums, where every announcement and performance contributes to the overall atmosphere. The partnership between Smart Systems and Biamp proved crucial in overcoming design challenges and achieving the desired audio outcomes.
