How lighting and sound can crank your sports event up to a 10

30 November 2017

 

When people go to a sports event, they want to feel the adrenaline racing just as palpably in the stands as on the field. In order to capture that feeling of intense exhilaration before and after the game, event organisers need to think outside the box on how a light and sound display can get the crowd going.

But trying to figure all this out can be headache – so leaving the excitement injection to event professionals like CMS Australasia is a smart move. We can sort a light and sound display that will be worthy of gold.

New technology means that lighting displays and LED video feeds present clearer visibility, sharper colours and flicker-free replays.

Lighting

A vibrant lighting display can go a long way to dazzling the crowd into a state of euphoria, kicking off the energy of your event and carrying it on until after it is all done. LED light technology has come a long way in recent years, and new technology means that lighting displays and LED video feeds present clearer visibility, sharper colours and flicker-free replays, so you never miss a sporting moment.

Capturing the essence of excitement with a dramatic lighting show is key to the CMS offering – we have worked with the National Basketball League (NBL) to produce innovative light shows to dazzle the crowd before a ball is even dunked.

A lighting display like this had never been seen in the Australian NBL before – and it blew the audience’s mind. 

Nothing can quite get a crowd to their feet like a rousing rendition of ‘Sweet Caroline’.

Sound

A quality sound system is needed so the crowd never miss a moment of commentary – missing an important detail because you couldn’t hear is a sure way to spoil a rambunctious atmosphere. Professional speakers are also needed for health and safety and other important announcements – you need to make sure that everyone is on the same page in case of an emergency incident.

On the excitement front, a pumping soundtrack is as important to setting the mood pre-sport event as your lighting. Picking the right music and letting it boom over your audience in a sonic wave of delirium doesn’t have the same effect if you use old or outmoded speakers.

Nothing can quite get a crowd to their feet like a rousing rendition of ‘Sweet Caroline’ – played through a professional sound system to make the best out of every soulful moment of course. CMS have a range of options to sort out your sporting event.

No fantastic lighting display is complete without a pumping soundtrack to complement it.
