Connecticut High Schools Power Stadium Audio with Technomad Loudspeakers
CESCO, a systems integration company based in Connecticut, has been specifying Technomad audio systems for a sizeable amount of its outdoor sports venue projects over the past five years, citing pristine audio quality, broad dispersion and weatherproof design as selling points for high school stadiums.
Technomad Loudspeakers to Power Through Crowd Noise at Sturgis Motorcycle Rally
The PA system features 16 Technomad weatherproof loudspeakers over a four-block area for outdoor public address and entertainment. The loudspeakers are otherwise being used this summer to simulcast programming from a local radio station, and will remain in place for future downtown events.
Technomad Berlin Loudspeakers Project Voice and Music for Tennessee State Soccer Association
Technomad LLC, a leader in weatherproof loudspeakers and audio systems since 1995, announces that Chattanooga Sound, a sound contractor based in Chattanooga, Tenn., has installed two Berlin weatherproof loudspeakers on a new soccer field for the Tennessee State Soccer Association in the nearby town of Cleveland.
The Berlin is the most powerful loudspeaker Technomad offers, offering unmatched projection, fidelity and power in an all-environment, IP56-compliant design.According to Charlie Rhodes, president of Chattanooga Sound, the soccer association approached him to procure and design the end-to-end system after discovering Technomad online.The Berlins are mounted on opposite sideline poles, one pointing in each direction toward the field to cover the entire venue.
“The Berlins offer a very high SPL and a two-inch driver that makes a world of difference when projecting spoken word over long distances,” said Rhodes.“These are full-range loudspeakers that reproduce lows, mids and highs very well, and the two-inch driver helps project the mids and highs for that extra distance.The musical reproduction is also outstanding, although voice is the most important aspect of this system.”
Rhodes first came across Technomad about five years ago when he replaced an audio system at Rock City, a 15-acre tourist destination outside of Chattanooga that was forced to continually replace outdoor loudspeakers adversely affected by inclement weather, high heat and humidity.Rhodes installed more than 20 Technomad Vernal loudspeakers at Rock City that continue to operate after four-plus years of unprotected use.
“Like Rock City, the Berlins for this project will be sitting out in the open, and in this part of the state we get all kinds of weather with temperatures that range from near zero to more than 100 degrees,” said Rhodes.“The bonus is that the weatherproof design in no way compromises the sound quality.”
The end-to-end system designed by Rhodes also features an Ashly line mixer, dbx processor, Shure wireless microphones and a Denon CD player.The system was installed by local volunteers with Rhodes on hand to consult and set audio and EQ levels.
Technomad Loudspeakers Power Audio for “Fortune Cup” Cricket Matches
BOSTON, March 24, 2009 – Technomad Associates, LLC, a leader in weatherproof loudspeakers and audio systems since 1995, announced that Zayed Cricket Stadium in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, used eight Technomad loudspeakers to provide live coverage of the Fortune Cup professional cricket matches to 20,000 spectators.The Fortune Cup took place in late 2008, comprising three cricket matches between the West Indies and Pakistan over the course of one day.Bint Al Jazeera Electronics, a professional AV and lighting company based in the United Arab Emirates, installed six Technomad Berlin and two Noho C loudspeakers to ensure even audio coverage throughout the large open-air stadium, allowing announcers to clearly reach every spectator in the stadium.
According to Shrini N Iyer of Bint Al Jazeera Electronics, the chief engineer Mr Yunis Philabous of the Abu Dhabi Cricket Club was determined to eliminate all echo from the venue during the matches, an issue that had an adverse effect on the sound quality and audio coverage during previous events.Even audio coverage and durability were also significant considerations in choosing a sound system for the event.
“The chief engineer of the Abu Dhabi Cricket Club was determined to eliminate all echo from the venue during the matches, an issue that had an adverse effect on the sound quality and audio coverage during previous events,” said Iyer.“The wide, even audio patterns of the Technomad loudspeakers across a wide frequency band helped eliminate hot spots.With careful loudspeaker placement, unwanted reverberation in the venue was minimized – a significant improvement over prior years.”
The Technomad Berlin loudspeakers, renowned for their unparalleled projection, fidelity, and power, covered the main seating areas and field surface.The Noho C loudspeakers served two purposes, acting as performance monitors and also providing a direct audio source to the VIP section. All eight loudspeakers were positioned atop tripods seven feet above ground level to ensure an even audio pattern, allowing every spectator to clearly comprehend speech from the announcers.In addition to voice, the Technomad loudspeakers powered instruments for a live band performing between events, providing a robust musical output for the crowd to enjoy.
“Clear audio with minimal echo is essential to ensure that the audience hears all public broadcasts during the game, including information on appropriate public conduct and warnings against abusive behavior that required for all international games,” said Mr. Dilawar Mani, CEO for Abu Dhabi Cricket Club.“The loudspeakers also worked to our satisfaction for the “end of match awards” while announcing the winners and special awards, as well as for conducting interviews with players.”
Iyer added that the durability of the Technomad loudspeakers were on display between the second and third matches, when extremely heavy winds dislodged many of the loudspeakers from their tripods.“Our team found all of the loudspeakers on the ground after the high wind speeds earlier in the day, a common weather occurrence in this region,” he said.“The rugged design protected the loudspeakers, and they all worked flawlessly once remounted.When we first evaluated the stadium, its audio requirements and potential climate challenges, it became clear quickly that Technomad was the only choice for the job.”
Other recent Bint Al Jazeera projects in the Middle East featuring Technomad loudspeakers include the American International School in Abu Dhabi, the Burjuman Center in Dubai, and the Danant Resort in Ruwais.The company’s website can be accessed at http://www.hifi10.com/.
