LARGE FOOTBALL FIELD #1
SEMI-DISTRIBUTED SYSTEM ON PRESS BOX
DISCUSSION
This is an excellent design for a college or larger high-school football stadium. It combines the best features of a distrib-
uted system (for the home-team bleachers) and a point-source system (for the end-zone and away-team bleachers). All of
the loudspeakers are in one general location which reduces installation costs and eliminates most artificial echoes. If the
electronics rack can be located in the press box, cable lengths are probably short enough to allow use of regular
(vs. transformer) R-Series models which reduces overall equipment costs.
If the roof of the press box is less than about 20 feet (6m) above the heads of the nearest listeners, the R2 loudspeakers
used for the end-zone and away-team bleachers may be too loud in the home-team bleachers. Look for an alternate loca-
tion for these loudspeakers when this occurs. Sometimes, there’s a light pole behind the press box. This makes a good
alternate location for the R2s. Mount the R2s at least 20 feet (6m) above the heads of the nearest listeners (30 feet or
9m is better) and delay the remaining loudspeakers, if necessary, to avoid artificial echoes.
Field Coverage and Neighborhood Spill
This system will have some field coverage from the loudspeakers aimed at the end-zone and away-team bleachers. For
additional field coverage, add R2s at the end-zone side of the press box aimed at the field. R2 loudspeakers are available
in several coverage patterns for this usage.
Colors show sound level variation in audience areas. Field, press
box and other areas will also receive sound (not shown).
