Purpose

The Brantford Bulldogs team–after having moved from their old arena in Hamilton–required an upgraded sound system that was capable of being able to match the energy level of their fans. 

Challenge

The move from Hamilton to Brantford posed many challenges, both logistically and spatially. But few were as glaring as the audio system currently in place at the Civic Center, as there was a noticeable downgrade mentioned by the Bulldogs team once having arrived at their new arena in comparison to what they were used to in Hamilton.

Solution

Working together with integrators, the teams began designing a newer, more powerful system for the Bulldogs' new arena. However, during the design process the team discovered that they already had their sound solution in their possession. Discovered in the Bulldogs’ storage over at the Hamilton arena was an unused TOA sound system, a cornucopia of speakers, subs, amps, and more. After an assessment by the integrators, it was discovered that the equipment was a perfect fit for the new arena. Additionally, it was stated as being better quality than even the current system in place at said Hamilton arena.

Feedback

The TOA system provided a whole new level of atmosphere to game day, and that it was a huge improvement from what the team was working with previously. It was also stated that the fans in Brantford are loud–in the best way possible of course–and that they bring such a high level of energy to each game, but the Bulldogs are now equipped with a system that can keep pace.

“I think anyone who comes through here–you ask how’s the sound system? And they’ll say ‘this place is rocking!’ It really brings just another level to the game day atmosphere.”
