Outcome

Unparalleled equipment reliability and highly intelligible audio across a large outdoor athletic stadium used by a number of public-school teams in a variety of sports.

Equipment

Community R.5-MAX, R.2-MAX and R.35.3896 loudspeakers, IS6-215WR subwoofer, and ALC-1604D and ALC-3202D amplified loudspeaker controllers.

Harold L. Bolig Memorial Stadium has a seating capacity of 6,500, and is used by football, field hockey, soccer, lacrosse, and track and field teams across Selinsgrove Area School District in Pennsylvania.

The facility needed to upgrade its sound system with rugged, weather-resistant loudspeakers and subwoofers that deliver outstanding sound quality and uniform dispersion whether broadcasting play-by-play calls, stadium announcements or music.

Words cannot express how impressed I am with the quality of this sound system and the power it has. The first time I was able to hear it, it brought a smile to my face.

SOLUTION

Working with the Biamp design team in Chester, PA, Sound systems integrator Gelnett & Associates of Northumberland, PA, determined the most effective system deployment for the stadium included four R.5-MAX, two R.2-MAX, and three R.35.3896 loudspeakers, two IS6-215WR subwoofers, and three ALC-1604D and one ALC-3202D amplified loudspeaker controllers—all from Biamp’s Community lineup.

Conclusion

According to Scott Gelnett, Chief Engineer for Gelnett & Associates, he attended the stadium’s first-post installation football game, and said, “The voices were clear, and all announcements were very intelligible. Music sounded full and pumped up the team and home crowd.”
