Athletes are in the “Spotlight”

Celebrated Athletes Are Highlighted With The Audio Spotlight at The Crossover Sports Facility in Cedar Park, TX

Audio Spotlight speakers immerse visitors in personalized audio experiences in the Hall of Legends exhibit at The Crossover, a 240,000-square-foot sports, wellness, and entertainment complex in Cedar Park, Texas. Completed in August 2020 as a multi-faceted space for families to enjoy together, The Crossover features indoor and outdoor sports facilities as well as an array of other health, fitness, and dining offerings across its sprawling 15+ acre campus. 

The massive Hall of Legends exhibit is featured in a main gathering area and was a monumental undertaking. The local design experts of Batch Creative sought to create an immersive, interactive exhibit to match the scale and goals of The Crossover, while the carpenters of Craftsman Collective were entrusted to construct their vision. With the technological help of the AS-168iX, Craftsman Collective built ten 16 foot tall audio-visual stations, which highlight renowned champion athletes and promising youth patrons who train at The Crossover, bridging the family-centered sports mission of the facility.

Having 10 installations playing at once, plus the main music in the hallway presented a significant design challenge. The AS-168iX with custom printed fabric was the perfect solution to seamlessly flow with the design of the space, and keep each exhibit’s audio focused.

The prominent, bustling location of the exhibit presented a design and technological challenge which the Audio Spotlight AS-168iX speakers solved perfectly. The speakers’ patented directional sound technology is as tight as a beam of light and can be focused on specific listening locations while leaving the surrounding area quiet. User-friendly “Stand Here” decals guide visitors to where they are immersed in touchless sound, and the ambient noise of the building’s background music and chatter of the crowd melts away. The Audio Spotlight’s custom digitally-printed speaker fabrics were designed to match the exhibit’s branding and allow the speakers to flow seamlessly with the visual design, resulting in an all-around impressive audio and visual addition to the world-class facility.
