Manville High School Gym Sound System

Manville High School Gymnasium Sound System

System Requirements

Manville High School, located in Manville, NJ needed a new gym sound system that could handle high speech and music levels, and provide clear sound for the entire space.  The school had several sound systems installed over the years, which did not work well in the space.

System Design

Our commercial audio-video design team took laser measurements of the gymnasium to create a 3D model for a loudspeaker layout.  We took into account coverage for the floor and court, as well as the bleachers.  When designing a gymnasium sound system, we also consider the acoustics and mounting points.  We came up with a layout of loudspeakers to provide coverage for both sets of bleachers, and the floor so everyone could hear clearly.  The school needed a simple interface, so we provided an 8″ touch screen with a custom layout to control the microphones and music.  We also programmed the building PA into the system, so when announcements are made, the system will lower the audio so everyone can hear.

Featured Equipment:

Result

The new sound system provides even coverage, great sound quality and is extremely easy to use.  Regardless of where you are seated or standing, you have crystal clear audio.

Primal Cape May Restaurant Sound System

System Requirements

Primal Restaurant Cape May opened in 2021 on the beach in downtown Cape May, NJ.  They needed a new sound system for their restaurant that would provide good audio levels throughout the seating areas, as well as the main front and back beach entrance.  The outdoor loudspeakers had to be able to withstand the salt air and direct exposure to the elements.

System Design

Our design team took a floor plan of the space to create an ideal restaurant sound system layout with loudspeakers in various zones for the best coverage.  We selected a series from JBL which have good full-range sound, even at low levels.  Local volume controls allow the staff to easily adjust the levels as needed.

Featured Equipment:

Absegami High School Gym Sound System

System Requirements

The Absegami High School gym sound system was comprised of older loudspeakers and amplifiers which had some issues and were not working well.  Recently, they had some small paging loudspeakers installed hoping to provide better sound, but that did not solve their issue.  We were contacted to help them upgrade the existing sound system in phases.  They needed better sound, coverage on the floor/court since the existing system did not have any loudspeakers for this area, and local connection inside the gymnasium.

Orthodox Church of the Holy Cross Sound and Streaming System

System Requirements

The Orthodox Church of the Holy Cross, located in Medford, NJ needed a new sound and streaming system.  Prior to our involvement, they were using a phone for streaming and had a pair of home theater loudspeakers for their sound system.  For streaming, they needed a permanently installed camera that could capture the entire Church and was easy to operate.  For sound, they needed even coverage front to back, and something that would work with their loud HVAC system.  They also wanted an audio/video system in their basement which could serve as both an overflow area, and separate meeting space.

System Design

We took laser measurements of the Church to begin our design.  From there, we created a layout of the systems to present to the Church.  Since the HVAC system was a major concern, we provided a demo of the proposed equipment to ensure that there would be no issues.  We lead with a PTZOptics PTZ camera on the back wall, which can be controlled by the Church’s laptop.  For the sound system, we have an iPad controllable mixer with simple presets.  JBL CBT columns mounted on the side walls provide great coverage and sound quality for the entire Church.

Featured Equipment

Result

The new sound and sound and streaming system is easy to use and provides a high-quality experience for both in-person and virtual viewing.  The mixer presets allow anyone to have the system running easily, and the streaming setup provides clear video for live streaming and to the basement AV system.

Cape May Police Academy Audio/Video System

System Requirements

With social distancing requirements, the Cape May Police Academy had to spread their recruits to an overflow classroom.  The issue they ran into was getting clear and reliable audio and video between each room.  They first tried using laptops with a conferencing app, but there were delays and lags which caused disruptions to the classes.  They needed a system that worked independently off of the network and would allow for clear two-way audio/visual communcation.

System Design

The system design accounted for the room sizes, and the need to have clear audio with no echo.  We designed the system around Shure’s MXA series microphone.  We selected the 4′ 710 model, which was mounted to the ceiling in the far classroom.  This allowed the instructor in the far classroom the ability to hear questions and comments from recruits.  The instructor wears a wireless microphone which broadcasts locally through the existing sound system as well into the far end classroom.  A QSC Core 8 Flex processor handles all of the routing and processing for the entire system.

Featured Equipment
  • Shure MXA710 linear array microphone
  • QSC Core 8 Flex digital signal processor
  • PTZOptics Z Cam

Result

The new system allows the instructor to hear questions and comments from the far end classroom, while the recruits in the far classroom can see and hear the instructor clearly.  The system is easy to use and requires minimal user interface.

Arthur Johnson Press Box Sound System

Arthur Johnson High School Press Box Audio System

System Requirements

Arthur Johnson High School, located in Clark New Jersey had its press box remodeled which included new siding, roof, and railings.  During the construction, part of the old sound system was removed.  We were contacted to evaluate the existing sound system and determine the best solution to upgrade their press box audio system.

System Design

Our system designers used measurements of the press box, and mounting locations to determine the best loudspeakers for the system.  We selected the JBL AWC-series which are all-weather, high-output loudspeakers that provide great speech and music reproduction.  Our installation team cleaned up the existing wires and secured the new loudspeakers, aiming them for optimal coverage.

Featured Equipment
  • JBL AWC129

    JBL AWC Outside Loudspeaker
    The AWC129 is a compact, coaxial-driver, 2 way, highly weather-resistant full-range loudspeaker system that is ideal for speech and music in a wide variety of applications, including sports facilities, racetracks, stadiums, fairgrounds, rodeos, skating rinks, themed entertainment venues, cruise ships, water parks, outdoor background music/paging systems, swimming pools, and a wide variety of other outdoor or indoor venue types.

Result

The new loudspeakers sound great and provide better sound for the home side of the stadium.  Our technicians tuned the system so the levels are balanced and the microphone levels are correct.

Dance Studio Sound System

Dance Studio Sound System – Christiana Cultural Arts Center

System Requirements

Dance studio sound systems require high-quality music reinforcement with good bass.  The existing audio system in the Christiana Cultural Arts Center featured older, small loudspeakers, and a paging amplifier.  Aside from the poor audio quality, the system was difficult to use.  They needed better sound, easier control, and connections for a laptop or phone.  They also needed headset wireless microphones for the instructors so they are not only heard in the studio but also on their virtual classes.

System Design

Our design team took measurements of the studio and noted the acoustics of the room.  Working within the school’s budget, they came up with a solution around JBL’s control-series loudspeakers.  We specified two loudspeakers per dance studio and included a mixer that would allow for independent or combined use of the audio system.  We also specified wireless packs with multiple headsets so each instructor would have their own microphone, and only share the bodypack.

Featured Equipment

Result

The new dance studio sound system has been a huge improvement.  The music is crisp with deep bass.  The wireless microphone system connects to both the loudspeakers and laptops for virtual learning, and with the split design, each studio can operate independently, or combined.

In addition to this project, our team also installed a new audio/video system in the gallery and second-floor performance space.  Check the project out here.

Sound and Streaming System Kingsway Baptist NJ

Kingsway Baptist Church Sound and Streaming System

System Requirements

Kingsway Baptist Church, located in Mickleton, NJ has been working with us to upgrade their sound and streaming systems for several years.   The overall objective throughout the projects has been high-quality sound and easy to use components.

System Design

Our design team took measurements of the sanctuary including the seating area and used computer software to determine the best loudspeakers for the space.  We lead with the EAW MK-series which are a two-way wooden cabinet.  We also used a smaller series from EAW for the monitors, which are also a wooden cabinet.  The design handles both speech and music and provides a very natural sound.  By using software, we were able to predict the coverage of the system before the installation, ensuring our solution worked perfectly for the room.  The QSC TouchMix mixer provided a simple interface, but with advanced controls that would allow for experience operators to make necessary adjustments.

Featured Equipment

Result

The new sound and streaming system has been a huge improvement for the Church.  The mixer provides complete control of the microphones and audio sources, with simple scenes to recall all of the settings.  The loudspeakers provide even coverage and clear sound for the entire space.
