Echoes on the Water, Energy on the Stage

Nestled in Zhaoqing Sports Center, the Yingxiong Diving and Swimming Pool is China’s first professional competition venue equipped with a 27-meter fixed high diving platform. Covering an indoor area of 2,400 square meters and fitted with 2,500 standard spectator seats, it has hosted top-tier aquatic events including the FINA High Diving World Cup. Integrating professional competitions, public swimming, youth diving training, synchronized water performances and cultural & sports galas, the venue features multi-scenario applicability and industry-leading comprehensive strength.

Benchmark Aquatic Venue, Empowering World-Class Events

As the only domestic professional venue with a fixed 27-meter high diving platform, Yingxiong Diving and Swimming Pool fills the gap in professional high diving venue construction in China. Since its opening in 2018, the venue has undertaken major tasks such as world-class aquatic events and national team training camps. It also serves as an official overseas training base for diving national teams from Canada, the United Kingdom, Germany and other countries.

Rarely seen in China’s aquatic sports industry, the venue perfectly meets three core demands: public fitness swimming, youth diving enlightenment training and professional high diving competitions, standing as a benchmark for professionalism, public welfare and versatility.

CF AUDIO Professional Sound System: Solving Acoustic Challenges of Aquatic Venues

Aquatic venues face inherent acoustic challenges: severe reverberation caused by open and enclosed spaces, uneven sound field distribution, and equipment corrosion and damage induced by high humidity and water vapor. To tackle these industry pain points, CF AUDIO has launched a fully customized waterproof sound reinforcement solution.

Adopting professional acoustic technology and a layered and zoned speaker layout tailored to the venue’s spatial structure and functional division, the system adapts perfectly to diverse scenarios including competitions, daily training and galas. It effectively eliminates sound blind spots and ambient noise, delivers professional-grade high-definition sound quality, and ensures long-term stable operation of equipment in high-humidity environments, completely optimizing the poor sound clarity, severe echo and fragile equipment problems of traditional swimming venue sound systems.

Core Equipment Creates an All-Round High-Quality Sound Field

The venue’s main sound reinforcement system adopts the GLA-20FS + GLA-20SFS combination, consisting of dual 10-inch full-range line array units and a single 18-inch subwoofer, specially optimized for the open and high-ceilinged acoustic environment of swimming pools. The line array units feature precise sound directivity, which effectively suppresses sound wave reflection from water surfaces and walls, reduces echo and reverberation, and achieves uniform sound pressure coverage across the entire venue, ensuring clear and intelligible human voices for event broadcasts and referee commands. The matched subwoofer complements the mid-low frequency sound and enriches sound layers. Meanwhile, the equipment is equipped with professional moisture-proof and anti-corrosion technology to resist water vapor erosion and maintain stable performance in humid pool environments.

As the core of the venue’s sound field atmosphere, the FC-218FS dual 18-inch subwoofer adopts a large-stroke unit, delivering strong low-frequency explosive power and deep sound diving. It effectively makes up for the insufficient low-frequency performance and flat sound field of open large venues. With rapid dynamic response, it connects seamlessly with the main sound reinforcement system, presenting full-layered and impactful sound effects for event background music and stage performances, greatly improving the audience experience. Featuring reinforced waterproof and moisture-proof design, it stably supports high-quality sound reinforcement for various large-scale events and cultural & sports performances in high-humidity conditions.

The TC-15FS single 15-inch two-way full-range fill speaker undertakes refined sound field compensation. It precisely covers the blind areas of the main sound reinforcement system and solves the problem of uneven sound pressure in venue corners, lower stands and poolside areas. The two-way professional design realizes high restoration of human voices and pure sound quality, which is ideal for referee commands, training broadcasts and safety announcements. With flexible installation, excellent moisture resistance and durability, it complements the main sound system to build a balanced and dead-spot-free high-quality sound field for the entire venue.

The successful completion of the Yingxiong Diving and Swimming Pool project marks another benchmark achievement of CF AUDIO in the field of sports venue acoustics. With reliable waterproof hardware performance and customized professional sound field design solutions, we have successfully solved the acoustic difficulties of aquatic venues and provided solid sound guarantee for world-class aquatic events.

In the future, CF AUDIO will continue to deepen its layout in the sports acoustics field, polish core technologies and optimize customized solutions to create more high-quality acoustic cases for sports venues. We provide one-stop acoustic customization services for new construction and renovation projects of various sports venues. We sincerely look forward to cooperating with partners from all walks of life to create perfect soundscapes for more venues.
