RCF Arena, currently under construction, is set to become Europe’s largest outdoor music venue. Located in the Italian region of Emilia Romagna, the structure will be able to host up to 100,000 people. With plans to be operational by September 2020, the Arena will be equipped with RCF’s flagship live audio range TT + as a permanent install, with 10 additional distributed systems (delay towers) in fixed steel structures, which will also be used as supports for video & lighting equipment. An additional array of modern technologies for world-class concert performance will be integrated, whilst at the same time, the orientation of the system will be optimized to ensure the lowest noise impact on nearby residents.
RCF Arena will feature a raked audience floor of 5% to ensure optimal visibility and acoustics. The stage is placed in the lower part of the Arena in a central position and with a maximum viewing angle of 110°, allowing the public optimal visibility throughout the entire Arena.
“RCF was born in 1949 in Reggio Emilia. From here we brought the excellence of Italian sound throughout the globe and today we are among the major players in the market,” says CEO of RCF Arturo Vicari. “Giving our name to RCF Arena is a source of pride for us, but also a mission and a commitment. We have a strong bond with this region and we intend to treat it in the best possible way. With this wonderful project, we will bring our innovation and technology to our back yard, in Reggio Emilia. It is a prestigious signature that fully reveals RCF’s devotion and commitment in the continuous search for sound quality in this new Music Valley.”
“RCF audio systems have amplified the music of national and international artists in every corner of the globe, and in some wonderful arenas,” continues Vicari. “The RCF sound is based on the expertise and reliability of a company made up of people and passion. We have just turned 70 and we still want to play!”
