Hong Kong - The Olympic Equestrian Venue (Sha Tin) is outfitted with a JBL EON system for the racetrack area during the 2008 Summer Games. While the majority of the Olympic events are taking place in Beijing, the equestrian events are being held in Hong Kong.

Managed by the Hong Kong Jockey Club, the venue is equipped with world class facilities, including a 100- x 80m all-weather sand area capable of supporting 18,000 spectators and a 5.7k cross-country course. All three events of the equestrian programme, comprising jumping, dressage, and eventing, are being held at the venue.

Dispersed throughout the racetrack area are JBL EON series portable loudspeakers. In total, 14 systems have been installed, providing sound to the competitors, media and Olympics officials located on the field. Other Harman components at the Hong Kong Olympic Equestrian Venue include six Soundcraft Compact4 mixers and three Compact10 mixers.
