Countdown to Hangzhou 2022 Asian Games: 2 Days! SoundBox Contributes to a Successful Event

The 19th Asian Games Hangzhou is set to open on September 23, 2023, in Zhejiang, China. As the premier comprehensive sports event in Asia, it serves as a vital platform to showcase national strength, foster friendly exchanges, and expand international influence.

For the Asian Games, sports venues are the core locations for various competitions. These large-scale public buildings, primarily designed for visual and auditory functions, are functional spaces with high acoustic requirements. The architectural design of the main competition hall must integrate with acoustic planning, influencing not only macro aspects like spatial volume and layout but also shaping the form of the hall's interior surfaces.

We are honored that SoundBox participated in the acoustic environment construction for the Asian Games venues. Upon receiving the acoustic design task, our technical team, committed to high-quality solutions and customer satisfaction, developed detailed plans for product design, R&D, production, and testing. With a professional attitude and rigorous approach, SoundBox dedicated its expertise to ensuring the optimal competition experience for the Hangzhou Asian Games.

During the pre-construction acoustic assessment, our engineers identified issues such as overly smooth wall surfaces leading to excessive sound wave reflection. This resulted in acoustic defects including prolonged reverberation time, echo, flutter echo, and sound focusing.

Through collaborative team efforts, the venue's reverberation time was ultimately controlled within standard limits, while various acoustic defects were effectively mitigated. This significantly improved speech clarity and sound richness within the venue, ensuring a more immersive experience for spectators and providing athletes with an ideal acoustic environment for competition.

Soundbox is not only committed to delivering optimal acoustic solutions for projects but also actively participates in green, low-carbon initiatives. According to third-party test reports, products used in the venues showed no detectable formaldehyde emissions, exceeding China's highest environmental standards. The entire acoustic solution and its application adhere to environmental protection and energy-saving principles, contributing to the Asian Games' carbon neutrality goals.
