STADIUM AUDIO AND OUTDOOR PUBLIC ADDRESS

In looking at the best ways to distribute sound over large public areas where many people will need to hear what is being said, the environment will often dictate a lot of the sound system's attributes. In a stadium area where people are typically seated in the same areas time and again, you can focus the majority of the sound on those spaces. Whereas at a park or fairgrounds you need to send that sound to many different places in order for the sound coming through the system to reach the majority of the people. We've been lucky enough to do a variety of outdoor systems from fairgrounds to Little League baseball fields to college baseball and softball fields. And recently we completed our most demanding outdoor system to date: a college football stadium.

In 2009 we were tasked with the installation and implementation of a high-tech sound system for Indiana University of Pennsylvania's George P. Miller Stadium. We partnered with Edward Simon & Co., a renowned and well respected sound engineering and installation firm based in Pittsburgh, PA. Mr. Simon was able to provide us with the equipment we needed, assisted in the engineering of the project, and with his on-site facilities was able to manufacture custom speaker mounts (as well as various other pieces) that were designed specifically for this stadium.

The new sound system, designed by Ken Ciroli, the A/V, Media Specialist at IUP, features state of the art digital amplifier controls, remote power control, NFL grade referee mics, a hearing assistance system, and much more. After many, many, MANY hours of work we were able to deliver a system that exceeded the expectations of the university staff, even those who were intimately involved of with the planning of the project from its inception.

If you're interested in reading more about the system and some of the equipment used, here's a link to a press release made by Electro-Voice (more commonly known as EV), the company who manufactured a number of the products that we used in this project:

The IUP Football Stadium Project was a high-tech, high demand system, since that's what was called for in that particular environment. Your needs may be very different. And as such, your system would be different from this one. Wherever you need to install a sound system so the public can be able to hear announcements, music, or whatever else you desire, there's a system that will fit your application.

Let us help you design a system that fits your needs, your budget, and the surrounding environment.
