Valencia: Arena Enhances the Acoustic Experience
d&b audiotechnik and Roig Arena have reached a partnership agreement through which the company joins the venue as an Operational Partner. As part of this collaboration, the arena has been equipped with a d&b sound system.
The installation incorporates d&b audiotechnik’s SL, A and CL Series systems, and its versatility has already been demonstrated at two highly demanding events: Valencia Basket’s second Liga title celebration and Rod Stewart’s concert on 30 June, the British artist’s only performance in Spain in 2026 and the first major international show at the venue to use d&b audiotechnik’s permanent solution.
Adaptative Technology for Every Venue Configuration
With a capacity of up to 20,000 people for concerts and more than 15,000 spectators for sporting events, Roig Arena is a highly versatile venue whose configuration varies depending on the event. To meet these requirements, the arena has incorporated a combination of systems that ensure uniform sound coverage throughout the entire venue.
“Roig Arena was conceived from the outset with a clear objective: to offer the best possible acoustic experience. To achieve this, work was carried out both on the quality of sound inside the venue and on acoustic insulation from the outside. The addition of this d&b solution represents a further step in that commitment, enhancing sonic performance and allowing us to guarantee a consistent, high-quality listening experience from every seat in the arena,” explains Paül Mollà, Roig Arena’s Technology and Operations Director.
A Permanent System Tailored to a Multifunctional Venue
The d&b audiotechnik installation forms part of the venue’s permanent infrastructure and remains integrated within the roof structure when not in use. This significantly reduces event setup times, streamlines operations and maximises the flexibility of the space.
Coverage is further optimised through ArrayProcessing, which adapts sound distribution to the venue’s specific configuration for each event. A custom-developed rigging solution has enabled seamless integration of the system and a rapid installation process, minimising intervention time in a venue of high technical complexity.
“d&b’s commitment to efficiency and reliability, together with the brand’s prestige among leading international touring productions, were some of the key factors behind our decision to choose this system. We want to establish Roig Arena as a benchmark venue for music, sport and entertainment. With our new d&b system, we are ready to welcome top-tier international artists to Valencia on a regular basis,” says Pablo Serra, Roig Arena’s Director of Music Content.
The installation also includes d&b audiotechnik’s latest-generation amplification, designed to deliver maximum performance with lower energy consumption. Upcoming events include concerts by artists such as Pet Shop Boys, Chayanne, Judas Priest and Bryan Adams, as well as top-level sporting competitions including Project B, the new travelling international basketball league.
“With this project, d&b audiotechnik further strengthens its position as a technology partner for arenas and large multifunctional venues. The combination of electroacoustic excellence, precise coverage control, energy efficiency, and a complete ecosystem of hardware, software and services provides Roig Arena with a reliable platform for artists, operators and audiences alike,” says Alfonso Luria, Sales Manager of d&b audiotechnik Iberia.
