Brought to life in 1998, the Sydney Showground was a purpose-built home designed for the Sydney 2000 Olympic Games. More than two decades—and numerous music festivals, sporting events, exhibitions, trade shows, and Sydney Royal Easter Shows— later, the AV system needed an upgrade. The LEA Professional Connect Series was exactly what they complex was looking for.
Showground staff contacted Australian integrator The P.A. People to help overhaul the system. Ross Ford, project manager at The P.A. People, was tasked with leading the installation. “From an operational point of view, LEA amplifiers offered us several key features that made them easy to integrate. The ability to bridge channels, ingest Dante inputs, and utilize analog inputs for the fire trip lines, plus they're a lot smaller and more compact than many competitive offerings.”
