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.

Football Field Sound System

Egg Harbor Township Football Field Sound System

System Requirements

The football field sound system for Egg Harbor Township needed to be cost-effective, easy to use, and provide coverage for the stands and field.  Two DJ loudspeakers were lifted out the window and placed on brackets when audio was needed.


System Design

Our design team used a satellite image with software to design the optimal football field sound system.  This provided a guide for the installation ensuring optimal coverage for the stands and field.  Though the press box is a secure building, the town wanted to be able to remove the equipment during the offseason so a portable case and system disconnect was required.

Featured Equipment:


Result

The new football field sound system has enhanced the experience for athletes and spectators with clear music and announcements.  The loudspeakers are permanently installed, and never need to be removed.  The portable rack is easy to set up and use.

Camden Catholic High School Stadium Sound System

Camden Catholic High School Stadium Sound System

System Requirements

Camden Catholic High School had an older stadium sound system that was pieced together over the years and was improperly installed.  The system only had one functioning loudspeaker, and with a playoff game coming up and the school hosting the Thanksgiving game, a new, reliable system was needed.

Stadium Sound System

Immaculata University Stadium Sound System

System Requirements

The Immaculata University stadium sound needed an upgrade to the sound system.  Most of the main loudspeakers were blown and the overall system operation was complicated.  With a short timeline, a new loudspeaker was needed to provide sound for the entire stadium while simplifying the operation.  Prior to our involvement, users needed access to an amplifier closet where they had to manually turn on a rack full of amplifiers.


System Design

Using EASE focus, we verified that using the existing poles would cover the stadium as intended.  We added a Furman sequencer system with a remote power switch in the press box allowed for powering the downstairs amplifier rack from within the press box.

Featured Equipment
  • Community R.5MAX loudspeakers mounted on the poles
  • Community R.35-3896 loudspeaker on the front of the pressbox
  • Community ALC-1604 amplifier
  • Furman power conditioner/sequencer

Result

The new loudspeaker system provides high-level, intelligible sound for the entire stadium.  Both the stands and field are covered and the processing built into the amplifiers provides protection from overdriving the system.

Paul VI High School Stadium Sound System

Paul VI High School Stadium Sound System

System Requirements

The Paul VI High School stadium did not have a permanently installed sound system, so for games, they set up portable loudspeakers.  They needed a permanent system that would cover the home stands, field, and visitor’s stands, all from the press box, as mounting on the poles would require breaking concrete and trenching.


System Design

Using EASE, an acoustical sound system modeling program, we created a 3D model of the stadium and placed the proposed loudspeakers on the press box.  After some aiming and tweaking, we were happy with the coverage and the system was approved and ordered.

With the R2s, we have great pattern control, exceptional low-frequency response and plenty of headroom which allows the system to be clear over crowd noise.

Featured Equipment
  • Community R2 loudspeakers (various models)
  • Crown CDi amplifiers
  • Shure SLX wireless microphones
  • Furman power conditioner/sequencer

Result

The new stadium sound provides exceptional speech and music reinforcement and covers the entire stadium.  Announcements are clear over the crown noise, and music has a full-range sound.

Passaic-County-Technical-Institute-Stadium-Sound-System

Passaic County Technical Institute Stadium Sound System

System Requirements

The Passiac County Technical Institute was in need of a new stadium sound system which could be used for gym classes, pep rallies, and football games.  The existing system was poorly designed and did not perform well.  This required a portable system for events, which was a hassle to set up and didn’t provide enough coverage or level.

System Design

The system had to provide high-level sound for the entire stadium without using the light poles as a mounting point.  Since we were limited to the press box only, we chose Danely Sound Lab’s OS80s for the main left, right and center loudspeakers.  The field coverage, center loudspeaker was mounted on the corner to keep the line of sight clear on the press box roof.  Two outdoor Danley GO2CX cabinets provide sound for guests in front of the press box.  To provide additional low-frequency, two Danely OS115s were mounted to the front of the pressbox fence.


Result

The new sound system has been well received as it is simple to use with flexible modes and provides outstanding sound quality for the entire stadium.

Donovan Catholic Stadium Sound System

Donovan Catholic High School Stadium Sound System

System Requirements

Donovan Catholic High School needed a new outdoor sound system for their stadium.  The old system was comprised of 30-year old horns and a small amplifier.

System Design

We utilized Community Loudspeakers R-series which are powerful outdoor models.  Four loudspeakers on the pressbox cover the entire stadium with clear, high-quality audio.  Crown amplifiers power the loudspeakers with a Rane HAL processor which provide simple controls for adjusting the system levels.  A single power button controller the Furman sequencer for powering the system on and off.


Result

The new stadium sound system provides fans and athletes intelligible sound, regardless of the even, or weather.

Rowan Soccer Stadium Sound System

Rowan University Soccer Stadium Sound System

System Requirements

The Rowan University soccer stadium was using a portable sound system for practices and games which required staff to wheel out large cases and run power and audio lines.  Aside from the task of doing this, the coverage and quality of the system were poor.  A new, permanent outdoor sound system was needed to provide sound for the entire stadium with simple controls.


System Design

Using EASE Focus, we created a model of the stadium to predict the performance of the proposed sound system.  We utilized Community’s R.5MAX series which provide exception speech and music reinforcement in a compact cabinet.  Utilizing Polar Focus mounts, we installed them on the main light poles to provide coverage for the field and bleachers.

Equipment list:

(4) Community R.5MAX Loudspeakers for the Field and Bleachers

(1) Community R.35 Loudspeaker for the Concession/Entrance Area

(1) QSC PLD4.5 Amplifier

(1) Shure BLX Handheld Wireless Microphone


Result

The new sound provides outstanding speech and music reinforcement for the bleachers and field.
