AO Arena Accessibility Guide

Summary

An arena guide identifying loop-covered seats, intermittent coverage and the connection to the touring sound desk.

Key findings

• Page 4 locates the hearing loop in Block 114, rows L-X, and accessible platforms AP 108 and AP 109.
• The same page describes intermittent coverage in Block 114 rows G-J and row X of Blocks 108 and 109, and tells hearing-aid users to select the T setting.
• The venue gives the touring sound engineer a cable to connect the loop to the touring sound desk, carrying the microphone signals. It acknowledges occasional problems and asks listeners to report difficulty to a steward or Guest Services opposite Block 101.

Limits

The venue's own description, with no field-strength map, independent audit or listener study. No publication date is printed. It documents selected seats, not whole-arena loop coverage.
