RCF Chosen for Adjarabet Arena, Georgia
RCF Chosen for Adjarabet Arena, Georgia
In the vibrant city of Batumi, Georgia, the Adjarabet Arena stands as a premier modern stadium, accommodating over 20,000 spectators. This state-of-the-art facility is home to FC Dinamo Batumi and has also hosted matches for Georgia’s national football and rugby teams, setting a new benchmark for sporting venues in the region.
Designed by Turkish architectural firm Bahadır Kul Architects and constructed by Anagi Construction Company, the stadium was built to meet UEFA’s stringent Category IV standards. Inspired by the fluid movements of traditional Georgian dance, the striking exterior of the arena features overlapping panels resembling scales, creating a visually dynamic effect when illuminated at night. Construction began in January 2018, spanning over two and a half years, with the official inauguration taking place in October 2020.
Beyond its role as a sporting venue, the Adjarabet Arena was designed as a multifunctional facility, capable of hosting cultural events and live performances. Central to this vision is the stadium’s cutting-edge audio system, designed to provide an immersive sound experience for every spectator.
The audio installation was carried out by Smarthouse and Office LLC, RCF’s official distributor in Georgia, ensuring world-class sound reinforcement throughout the stadium. The system includes 144 units of RCF’s P 5228-L loudspeakers, carefully positioned to deliver uniform coverage across all seating areas. These high-performance speakers are powered by 18 QPS 9600 amplifiers, renowned for their reliability and efficiency. To manage complex audio routing and processing, six DX1616 digital audio matrix processors were integrated into the setup, ensuring seamless control and exceptional clarity.
Commenting on the project, Konstantine Beruchashvili, Managing Partner of Smarthouse and Office LLC, stated, “The Adjarabet Arena project was a significant milestone for us. Collaborating with RCF allowed us to implement an audio system that not only met but exceeded international standards, providing an unparalleled experience for all attendees.”
With RCF’s advanced technology at its core, the Adjarabet Arena continues to deliver world-class sound for fans and eventgoers alike, solidifying its place as a leading venue in Georgia’s sports and entertainment landscape.
