K-array brings 360-degree audio to Africa’s most advanced hockey arena

The new Ice Hockey Arena in Rabat, Morocco, features an Olympic-sized ice hockey rink that doubles as a multipurpose event space, integrating lighting, structural elements, LED walls and a K-array sound system.

The project was delivered by Cegelec, a subsidiary of Vinci Energies, that specializes in consulting, design, engineering, construction and the maintenance of commercial and industrial buildings and infrastructure projects. Cegelec’s audiovisual division managed the installation of professional equipment across the venue. K-array gear for the project was supplied through EcmaPro Systems, the brand’s exclusive distributor in Morocco.

The venue required an audio system capable of supporting 360-degree entertainment across a wide variety of use cases, from speeches and sporting announcements to music performances and large-scale public events. K-array’s combination of line array technology, active subwoofers and integrated DSP amplification met those requirements. The installed system consists of forty-eight Mugello KH2P I passive line array elements, sixteen Thunder KS3 I active subwoofers and nine Kommander KA208 amplifiers.

K-array’s engineering team worked closely with Cegelec throughout the project, providing system design consultation, acoustic modelling and analysis, on-site setup and tuning, and audiometric measurements and optimization. “Installing a system of this scale in a purpose-built hockey arena brings its own set of acoustic demands”, says Najib Bouskour, director of Axians, a Vinci Energies company. “K-array gave us the tools to achieve consistent coverage throughout the venue, whether the arena is hosting a hockey match, a concert or anything else.”
