The white two-storey building is a well-recognized feature of the ground, commanding excellent views of the field of play from the upper and lower balconies. With eight loudspeakers mounted under the canopy on the lower balcony, and four on the upstairs balcony, the sound system has four zones of audio level control, allowing changes to be made for different occasions. There are also two interior Bose speaker systems for low level commentary or background music.
Bose recently signed an agreement to become a Corporate Partner of Guards Polo Club and hence the official audio supplier to the club in 2005, the club's 50th Anniversary. The club's CEO, Charles Stisted, comments: "The club hosts more than 400 matches throughout the season and it is vital that our first-class commentators and our guests are supported by cutting-edge audio technology."
