System Requirements

The Blackwood Kiwanis Little League Baseball organization needed a new outdoor PA system for their main field.

---

System Design

Our team reviewed the areas that needed sound coverage and the possible mounting points.  The backstop was the ideal choice as it allowed us to aim the new PA speakers down the 1st and 3rd base side and onto the field.  We selected the JBL AWC-series speakers due to sound quality and reliability.

Featured Equipment:

• • Three JBL AWC82 outdoor PA loudspeakers
  • Crown XLS2502 amplifier
  • Rolls rack-mount mixer

---

Result

The new outdoor PA system sounds great and provides coverage for the fans and athletes.  The system is easy to control and is a huge improvement over the old components.

System Requirements

The Widener University Baseball Stadium did not have a permanent sound system installed, and would have to set up a powered loudspeaker in the window.  This became a hassle and didn’t provide adequate coverage.  The stadium is located close to a major highway which made it difficult to hear the announcer.  The new baseball field speakers had to cover three sections of bleachers and the field, with the ability to handle both speech and music.

System Design

We selected Community’s R-series loudspeakers for the system.  The Community R-series are perfect baseball field speakers and provide great sound while being designed to survive the elements.  Smaller R-series speakers were used to cover the three sections of bleachers.  We then installed an R.5-MAX on a pole to provide coverage for the field.

Featured Equipment:

• • Three Community R.35-3896 loudspeakers for the stands
  • One Community R.5MAX for the field
  • Crown XTI-4002 amplifiers
  • Shure rack-mount mixer

Result

The new sound system covers all three sections of the stands evenly as well as onto the field.  Both spectators and athletes experience high-quality sound and the operation of the system is simple for the staff.

The Mount Laurel Baseball League, located in Mount Laurel, New Jersey reached out to us to help with a new outdoor field sound system.  They needed a system that could be zoned to provide sound for only one field, or all four, depending on the event.  There were four large poles on each corner of the building which provided a good mounting location.

System Requirements

The Clayton Little League needed a new sound system that provided high-quality speech and music reinforcement for the players and spectators.  The existing sound system was comprised of over 20-year-old horns and Radio Shack mixer/amplifier.  The new little league sound system had to provide a wired and wireless microphone with an input for a phone or iPad.  Since volunteers often used the system, it had to be easy-to-use as well.

System Requirements

Bishop Eustace High School required permanent outdoor PA systems for their baseball and softball fields.  Each field needed coverage for the bleachers and on the field.  Since only one field sound system is used at a time, a portable rack was needed that could connect to either field.

System Design

We utilized Community Loudspeakers R-series for both fields, opting for the R.25 model which is compact, powerful and budget-friendly.  They were easy to mount to the backstop and provide coverage for all of the areas needed.  A simple outdoor input plate allows the operator the ability to connect the portable rack to either system.  The rack features a QSC amplifier with a simple mixer, Shure wireless microphone, and connection for a phone or iPod to play music.

Result

The new PA systems eliminated the need to bring out portable units previously used and now provides reliable, high-quality speech and music reinforcement.
