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

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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.
