Project Title: CCTV “Harmony Across the Five Continents – Setting Sail in Qingdao” 100-Day Olympic Countdown Gala
Project Date: April 2008
Project Location: Qingdao University Gymnasium
Project Background: Our company provided a comprehensive audio‑visual integration system for CCTV’s “Harmony Across the Five Continents – Setting Sail in Qingdao” Olympic Countdown 100‑Day Celebration Gala, including large‑scale indoor stadium line‑array sound reinforcement, stage monitor systems, ultra‑low‑frequency fill‑in, digital network mixing, intelligent audio processing, redundant backup for wireless microphones, and synchronized audio‑video control across the entire venue—covering the main stage, the entire audience area, the VIP section, backstage monitoring, and the central control and dispatch zone.
To meet the core requirements—such as significant reverberation in the gymnasium, sound‑field coverage for a 2,000‑person audience, diverse program formats including star performances, instrumental music, hosting, and song‑and‑dance acts, crystal‑clear vocal clarity, powerful and immersive music, CCTV‑level audio quality standards, long‑duration stable performances, and high‑profile leadership attendance—the system employs a compact line‑array main PA, precision‑directed coverage, robust low‑frequency reinforcement, digital network transmission, meticulous sound‑field calibration, redundant wireless‑system backup, and a professional feedback‑suppression solution, ensuring:
The sound field throughout the venue is even, clear, and free of dead spots, with vocals that are transparent and powerful, and music that is grand and majestic.
High fidelity in instrumental reproduction, clear vocal layering, and crisp, articulate narration.
The system is stable and reliable, delivering zero‑fault live streams with no background noise and perfect audio‑video synchronization.
It perfectly captured the Olympic spirit and the charm of Qingdao’s maritime culture, earning high praise from the CCTV directing team, the organizers, and the audience on site.
