Kaseye Center invests in L-Acoustics professional sound system for NBA season

Situated on Biscayne Bay’s waterfront between the city skyline and South Beach, Kaseya Center selected an L-Acoustics K2 sound system installed by Solotech Systems Integration before the current NBA season began. The venue hosts over 80 non-basketball events annually, from A-list concerts to national conferences.

“The selection of L-Acoustics as our preferred sound reinforcement partner was guided by two primary principles,” said Blake Engman, senior engineer and director of Broadcast Services for the Miami HEAT. “First, the pursuit of exceptional audio intelligibility – ensuring that every fan and patron can clearly hear and enjoy all forms of content delivered in our arena. 

"Second, the challenge of integrating a high-performance audio system within an extremely tight payload footprint. With no margin to add weight, L-Acoustics rose to the occasion, transforming seemingly insurmountable constraints into tailored solutions that meet our demanding specifications.”

The HEAT Group, the organisation that brought an NBA franchise to Miami, is committed to making Kaseya Center the premier sports and entertainment venue in South Florida through technological developments and renovations. This latest audio upgrade is designed to deliver powerful sound and improve audio coverage throughout the arena.

“K2, with the L-Acoustics sonic signature, set the level and performance in the facility,” observed Mark Wilson, director of sales, Miami for Solotech. 

“The A15i Focus and Wide speakers have that same sonic signature, filling the upper levels smoothly, consistently, and well-aligned with the K2. Every seat at the arena now always gets the same incredibly musical sound experience and impact. It’s taking the venue to an entirely new level of fan experience.”

For both the live games and online engagement, the need to keep the sound meeting fan expectations is more important than ever. 

“The HEAT delivers signature audio content before, during, and after games, while NBA-mandated courtside microphones capture the on-court action that viewers have come to expect,” said Wilson. "This system sounds so amazing that you can really hear the differences in the content. The NBA is focused on creating better guest experiences league-wide, and systems like L-Acoustics give teams the opportunity to enhance that content. Great sound, great team – it’s a win-win situation.”
