NORTHRIDGE, California – In preparation for one of the world’s most famous sporting events, systems
integration firm Studio Berar outfitted 13 sports venues in Serbia with JBL loudspeakers and Crown amplifiers
for the 2009 Summer Universiade games.
The Universiade is an international event that hosts university athletes from around the world. This year’s
Summer Universiade took place from July 1 to July 12 in Belgrade, Serbia. It hosted more than 9,000 athletes
from over 140 countries, all of who competed in 15 different sports and 203 disciplines at more than 50 sport
venues. This year’s games celebrated three anniversaries for what some consider to be the largest and most
important sporting event next to the Olympic Games: the 25th Summer Universiade, the 50th anniversary of
Universiade, and the 60th anniversary of the International University Sports Federation.
For the largest sports venues, including soccer stadiums Marakana and
Partizan, as well as the Belgrade Arena and the Belgrade Fair Hall, Studio
Berar installed event systems that each contained 16 JBL VerTec VT4889 fullsize
line array elements, 12 JBL VerTec VT4888DP midsize powered line array
elements with DrivePack® technology, 32 JBL VRX932LA and 16 JBL
VRX918S subwoofers. With the exception of the VT4888DP elements, Crown
CTs 3000 amplifiers powered all the systems.
Additionally, Studio Berar supplied a total of 86 EON315 powered portable
loudspeakers, which were deployed as needed to address audiences in
numerous smaller soccer courts and basketball halls. In summation, JBL was
the exclusive loudspeaker for the entire Universiade games.
"This prestigious event is a real challenge, and the JBL speakers are a great
choice, considering their sound quality, portability, and reliability,’’ said
Aleksandar Kruscic, Sales and Application Engineer for Studio Berar.
