The sports arena at the NIO Center in Hefei has implemented a comprehensive solution from the PCI Company. The hardware equipment includes Sennheiser's SpeechLine series Dante wireless microphones, Core110f network processors, and TouchMix 30 PRO digital mixing consoles, as well as FBT AX2000 amplifiers and Muse active line array speakers, Archon 115 point source speakers, and other devices. This arena, upon completion, serves a multitude of functions such as competitive broadcasting, small-scale performances, lectures, video conferences, and more. It allows for various types of activities within a single venue, fully optimizing the venue environment. Additionally, seamless switching between different modes can be achieved with a simple click through the backend control system.

The NIO Center in Hefei features three video conferencing rooms equipped with Sennheiser TeamConnect Ceiling 2 ceiling array microphones, complemented by Core 8 Flex small network processors, SPA2-60 compact amplifiers, and AC-C4T ceiling speakers. While the TeamConnect Ceiling 2 microphones are discreetly integrated into the ceiling, all other hardware devices are directly mounted behind large screens, saving cabinet space and contributing to the overall cleanliness and aesthetics of the meeting rooms. This solution has been widely adopted in numerous meeting rooms at NIO, receiving unanimous approval from the owners. The owners plan to further expand the implementation of this solution in NIO's corporate meeting rooms.

In response to the owner's requirements for the employee cafeteria, which goes beyond background music to include small-scale event speeches, PCI engineers installed a setup featuring a 4-channel Sennheiser SpeechLine wireless microphone connected to a Core 110f network processor through the Dante protocol. The system uses an MPA-80V 8-channel digital amplifier to drive 15 AC-C6T ceiling speakers, evenly covering the entire cafeteria in five rows without any dead zones. Both the wireless microphone receivers and speakers are discreetly installed within the ceiling grilles, ensuring a clean and aesthetically pleasing appearance without compromising performance.


The completion of the project has garnered unanimous approval from the owner, who highly commended PCI's video conferencing solution. They are also very satisfied with the practical usage effects in both the sports arena and the employee cafeteria. The project has been accepted and put into operation, and further collaboration with PCI is already in the planning stages.
