Two Stadiums, One Sound Solution: ElectroVoice and Dynacord System Design a Winner for Texas School District By Electro-Voice
Southwest Building Systems delivered cost-effective service with a single system design custom-integrated into two similar stadiums. Burnsville, MN: When legendary Texas football coach Mike Spradlin joined Magnolia Independent School District in suburban Houston as Director of Athletics in 2016, he set about upgrading the football experience at the district’s high schools. Part of that plan was the installation of new video scoreboards and sound systems at both Magnolia and Magnolia West. Southwest Building Systems (Sillsbee, Texas) was engaged to design and install new sound systems at both facilities. “Our old systems were just a few horns mounted on top of the press box. They sounded terrible, and music was out of the question,” says Robert Patty, Sports Information Coordinator for the district. “We wanted to create more of a collegetype game day experience, to get the fans and players pumped up.” The goal was to deliver full, even coverage in the bleachers, with clear, high fidelity sound quality for game announcements, music, and sponsor video commercials.
Problem: Five weatherized Electro-Voice EVH and EVF loudspeakers provide fullrange coverage for 8,000-seat stadium. Solution: Dynacord C3600 amplifiers provide power, DSP and FIR-Drive speaker optimization for cohesive, full-range audio.
