The new stadium was officially inaugurated on 5 November 2008 with a Women's World Cup soccer warm-up match between Chile and Brazil. The first official match of the Women's Soccer World Cup was played on 10 November. The President of Chile, Michelle Bachelet, visited the site to check on the work progress, and congratulated Prosound for the job.
"This installation raises the bar for installed sound in Chile in several ways," comments Ruben Vedugo Gruss, General manager, Prosound Ltda. "It introduces an unprecedented level of audio technology to one of our largeg venues, and also ranks them as the first stadium in Chile to make such substantial investment in a sound system.
"We are also particularly proud to report that this is the first time that an audio project of this calibre has been implemented by a Chilean Company; most other current projects in Chile are being carried out with far lower budgets, using lower quality equipment. The Sx600 is a special product, designed specifically for this application. The level of sound quality, intelligibility, and coverage it provides is simply amazing."
