Gymnasiums are highly reverberant spaces and are used for gym classes, pep rallies, and sporting events. A properly designed gym sound system should be able to cover the bleachers and floor and provide guests with intelligible sound. We create computer models to ensure that not only your fans can hear, but so can your athletes. With hard walls, floors, and reflective ceilings, it is important to keep reflections to a minimum to ensure the sound is intelligible.
JD Sound and Video has designed custom sound and PA systems for small gymnasiums which seat 200 people all the way up to arenas that seat over 5,000. Our systems provide exceptional audio quality with clear intelligibility and music reproduction to spectators in all seating areas.
While the sound is a major part of the experience in your venue, so is video. We have installed video walls with reinforced glass screens as well as a projector and electric screen solutions for video playback.
We can provide a complete audio and video gymnasium solution for all sizes and budgets from K-12 through University size athletic buildings.
We are dealers of a variety of world-class brands such as Community Professional Loudspeakers, QSC, Danley Sound Labs, and JBL professional.
A specialty which sets JD Sound and Video apart from our competition is our work with outdoor sound and PA systems. Each year, our team installs custom stadium sound systems as well as systems for baseball fields, and outdoor arenas. From small PA systems to large scale high-output sound systems, we can work with any venue.
There are a lot of factors which go into the design and installation of an outdoor sound system.
Weather not only affects the components which are installed but how sound is transmitted. We utilize outdoor loudspeakers from Community Professional Loudspeakers and Danley Sound Labs which are products that are designed to live outdoors and provide outstanding sound quality. In our designs, we take into account the temperature and humidity which can affect how sound travels.
Surrounding buildings and neighborhoods need to be considered both from a noise ordinance standpoint and from a possible reflection source which can affect sound quality. When we design an outdoor sound system, we take into consideration if there are any large structures which will reflect sound back and work to avoid that. Additionally, using computer modeling, we can predict the sound level in nearby neighborhoods to see if there will be any problems with noise "spilling" into that area.
Mounting Locations are often limited outdoors and the few that exist need to be evaluated for their structural capacity to not only support the weight of what is being mounted but taking into account wind load and other factors. We will only use certified rigging and mounting products and exclusively use Polar Focus pole mounts when securing loudspeakers to light poles.
While similar to a gymnasium as an indoor venue, pools and aquatic center sound systems present a challenge in that they are often humid locations with moisture and other elements that affect the sound transmission as well as which components can be used. Our pool sound system designs take factor all of these conditions.
We use outdoor rated loudspeakers which are designed for the conditions.
All plates are stainless steel with rubber covers as needed.
We utilize a secure, ventilated closet or room, often outside of the pool area for the equipment rack.
