A wide range of audio equipment from Electro-Voice has been selected for Romania's first UEFA 'elite stadium'.
For more than 50 years, the National Stadium in Bucharest was the venue for all home matches of the Romanian national football team.
In 2005, it was decided to tear the stadium down and construct a new one in its place.
Its replacement, the new Stadionul National, was three years in the making - 2008 to 2011 - and is an ultra-modern, multifunctional arena designed for both major sporting events and concerts.
The equipment supplied by Electro-Voice includes 141 EVH-1152S horn-loaded (models 64-PIB, 94-PIB and 66-PIB) and 32 EVID 6.2 T compact surface-mounted loudspeakers.
The installation is powered and processed by 40 CPS 4.10 power amplifiers and ten N8000 NetMax controllers with MI-1, AO-1, DI-1 or DO-1 cards as well as CM-1 CobraNet network modules.
IRIS-Net software employed at the site offers a range of possibilities for the system's configuration, operation and supervision.
The stadium itself is capable of accommodating over 55,000 spectators, including 3,600 VIPs. If necessary, the total capacity can be expanded to 62,000.
The arena is the first in Romania to meet the 'elite stadium' standards for infrastructure laid down by UEFA, making it the first stadium in the country qualified to host the finals of international competitions.
The first such event scheduled for the new stadium is the UEFA Europa League Final on 9 May, 2012.
