This project involves cutting-edge technology from leading manufacturers, aiming to set new standards in stadium audio and video production.
State-of-the-Art Audio Solutions
At the heart of this ambitious project are advanced audio systems designed to deliver crystal-clear sound throughout the 68,500-seat stadium. According to John Smith, Chief Engineer at Levi's Stadium, “We’ve partnered with Bose Professional to install their L1 Model One line array loudspeakers in key locations around the venue.” These high-performance speakers boast a wide dynamic range and are equipped with a built-in DSP engine for optimal sound quality.

Network Infrastructure Enhancements
To support the extensive audio and video production requirements, Levi's Stadium is also investing in a robust network infrastructure. This upgrade involves installing over 100 miles of new fiber optic cables, ensuring seamless data transmission between all stadium components. The enhanced network will facilitate real-time processing of broadcast signals and enable faster access to high-resolution video content.
