Mark Van Hoosier of Davenport, IA-based Electronic Communications Systems (ECS) comments, "We chose Community's R-Series for their exceptional intelligibility and well defined sound projection capabilities. Of course, being an outdoor venue, weather resistance was another critical factor."
The system includes two Community R2-694Z loudspeakers for short-throw coverage, and two R6-51 loudspeakers for long-range. Since this phase of the construction included no physical buildings, the assembly was mounted atop a 65ft pole at the near end of the field. Rigging for the speakers was provided by Hadley, MA-based Polar Focus. Amplification for the system is courtesy of Crown CTs-Series power amps, with signal processing covered by BSS London BLU-800 systems.
The system also includes Shure ULXP wireless systems, with inputs at the 50 yard line on either side of the field connected to the main equipment rack by fibre optics.
