Bon Secours Wellness Arena (formerly the Bi-Lo Center) is a 15,000-seat multi-purpose facility. It was recently renovated, including updates to the suites, concourses, lighting, video systems, and sound systems. The arena is the home of the Greenville Road Warriors of the ECHL, but it is also used for concerts, various traveling acts, basketball, and hockey.

Project Highlights:
AVANT ACOUSTICS designed and commissioned a state-of-the-art sound reinforcement system to provide high speech intelligibility and musical impact for the various events that occur at this truly multipurpose venue. The distributed Bose RoomMatch arrays provide direct coverage to the premium hockey seating right behind the glass, a primary concern for the facility and resident team. Many different room configurations are supported using delay presets programmed into the system during commissioning and recalled through an easy-to-use system monitoring and control touchscreen interface created by AVANT ACOUSTICS.

Located on the campus of the University of Georgia in Athens, Sanford Stadium has a seating capacity of over 92,000, and is primarily used for varsity football. The facility has also hosted events for the 1996 Olympics.
AVANT ACOUSTICS provided the following services:
Project Highlights:
AVANT ACOUSTICS first completed the design of a sound reinforcement system for the facility in 1991. Although this original system worked well for the facility, over the years, there were several stadium expansion and renovation projects that included changes and upgrades to the sound system.
Wanting to improve the performance of the system installed in 2014, the University once again called in AVANT ACOUSTICS. AVANT assessed the existing conditions, provided recommendations for improvement, and conducted on-site system commissioning services to provide immediate and clear performance benefits.
