Stadium Sound System Upgrade for Marrara Stadium, Darwin

Overcoming a skills shortage in the Northern Territory, we delivered a world-class stadium sound system, meeting the high standards of the state government and the AFL.

Our Mission

Kicking goals for the stadium grandstand audio visual.

TIO Stadium in Marrara, was built in 1991, to cater for Australian Rules Football.

Due to a skill shortage in the audio visual industry in the Northern Territory, meeting the high standard of requirements from the state Government required to host AFL was tough. Marrara Stadium needed a premium audio visual service provider, prepared to travel.

Our Work

Enhancing the fan experience while protecting players from distraction.

Setting the Big Stage

Today, Marrara Stadium serves as a major Northern Territory stage for everything from roaring concerts to national sporting events like NAB AFL and NRL games. As the official home of the AFL NT administration team, it required a sound system that could perform flawlessly in a demanding outdoor environment. The Sound with Vision team brought its expertise to the table, meticulously estimating the cabling and infrastructure required to deliver a truly top-tier audio solution.

Every Seat, The Best Seat

To achieve perfect audio coverage, precision was paramount. Sound with Vision recognised that a one-size-fits-all approach wouldn’t work. Instead, each unique section of the grandstand was fitted with its own high-quality, custom mount with a unique specification. This tailored strategy ensured sound was directed exactly where it needed to go, dramatically enhancing the fan experience while cleverly protecting players from distracting audio spill on the field.

Going the Extra 3.5 Kilometres

Underpinning this entire audio overhaul was an impressive 3.5km of carefully planned cable infrastructure. The Sound with Vision team’s accurate estimation was crucial, allowing us to meet both the project’s budget requirements and its strict delivery timeline, laying the essential groundwork for a successful installation.

Quote Dark Slate

“Modern sporting experiences require technology to match, our commitment as a company that will travel allowed us to match the needs of an underserved area of Australia. Our experience in the industry allowed us to deliver tailored solutions that work, custom designs for every corner of the stadium. We knew this project needed precise handling, meticulous planning and seamless implementation, and we feel the outcome produced is serving people with a crystal-clear matchday experience”.
