Similar equipment was supplied to the each of the Gymnasiums situated within the vast campus.

"The university desired a state-of-the-art sound system," said Jun Zhu, Sanecore's director of sales. "Community R-Series was the natural choice for these athletic venues due to their outstanding performance and weather-resistant qualities, and simply because they are proven to be the best for stadium sound."
The 97,000sq.m Central Stadium for track and field is the largest of all the venues, with 50 R2 loudspeakers installed, as well as six Symetrix Cobra DSP systems, 29 QSC CX1202V amplifiers, four CM16A monitors and an Allen & Heath GL3800/40 console.
