Birmingam, Alabama - Professional Sound Advice, of Birmingham,
Alabama, recently completed installation of an audio system for the
new Tuscaloosa Count High School football stadium. John Torbert of
Kharfra Engineering, also of Birmingham, Alabama.
The audio system was designed to cover the growing needs for
modern educational sporting facilities to cover a variety of application
other than sporting events, such as graduations and band competitions.
The speaker system consists of Community R series outdoor speakers,
which are specifically designed for outdoor stadiums, with long-throw
needs. The speakers, with accompanying power supplied by Crown
CTS series amplifiers, can deliver a incredible amount of volume while
keeping the full range fidelity intact up to several hundred feet away.
The system is also able to properly reproduce sub bass frequencies at
a great distance, thus making music sound as it would over a regular
audio system, and not subtracting from the low end, as many
traditional horn-type systems would do.
The system includes microphone input capability on the home and
visitor sides of the field, as well as in the press box. A wireless
microphone was also included to aid in graduation ceremonies. The
microphones are controlled by a Crown contractor series mixer, which
allows for up to 8 individual inputs. There was another Crown mixer
added for control of a separate mix, dedicated for a press feed. There
are locations for press connection inside the press box.
With the system now complete, the faculty and staff of the school are
looking forward to the beginning of football season, as well as the area
band Jamboree, which will be hosted by the school this year.
