Working with lead designer AECOM and Turner Construction, Clair Global Integration (CGI) was engaged to design and install innovate technical solutions to the Intuit Dome, the world’s most high-tech basketball arena, home of the LA Clippers. CGI provided networking systems in the club spaces, practice courts, locker and conference rooms, national and in-house broadcast cable plant and distribution, ENG plant and cabling, IPTV systems, and AV over IP solutions. CGI was also charged with implementing ADA - American Disabilities Act - panels for sight impaired fans in the club spaces and suites.

The venue’s exceptional new production facilities required an innovative sound design that would achieve optimum results around its LED ‘halo’ video screen. Under CGI’s audio scope, and working with AV Consultants and Technical Designers WJHW, the team developed an inner ring of eight loudspeaker clusters to cover the lower bowl, while a significant number of smaller line arrays cover the outer edge of the halo.

In addition, the $2 billion, 18,000-capacity venue announced Clair Global touring client, Bruno Mars, as its opening act, uniquely placing Clair’s rental and installation divisions in close collaboration for the arena’s opening night concert, enabling the ‘Construction to Production’ philosophy to take center court.
