Jamsil Baseball Stadium, built in 1982, seats 30,265 people and is home to both the Doosan Bears and LG Twins, both professional teams of the KBO Baseball League. SBPROLINE installed Technomad Berlin 15/H, Noho C, Paris 616T and Vernal 15T loudspeakers at various stadium points depending on the audio requirements for each location, relying on the abundance of mounting points and strong construction to ensure the best possible placement of each loudspeaker.
Specifically, six Berlin loudspeakers were selected to provide short throw audio to the main seating areas. Two Paris loudspeakers and eight Vernal loudspeakers provide satellite audio and dugout audio systems respectively, while two Noho loudspeakers encompass a monitor system to broadcast live player interviews throughout the stadium.
According to Mr. Hyun, President of SBPROLINE, the Technomad loudspeaker system replaced an aging PA system that was installed prior to the 1988 Seoul Summer Games for baseball events. SBPROLINE designed, tuned and measured the system for directivity and accuracy; the system was installed by local contractors Hoseo Telecom and Dongseo E&C Co.
"Jamsil Baseball Stadium is the largest baseball park in Korea and is surrounded with office buildings and apartments, so the challenge was to install an audio system that could cover the entire park without bleeding into adjacent buildings," said Mr. Hyun. "The scoreboard tower was the only area in the stadium where we could install the main part of the sound system, so it was necessary to install loudspeakers with very high SPL and outstanding directivity to meet the park requirements. The Technomad Berlins interact with long throw horns and an 8-ohm amplifier system at the scoreboard tower to ensure that clear audio reaches every seat without leaking outside the stadium."
