About the System Components
Bose Professional DesignMax DM12SE Loudspeakers
The DesignMax DM12SE is a weatherized, full-range 12" coaxial surface-mount loudspeaker built for reliable performance indoors or out. Its coaxial point-source design physically aligns the high and low frequency drivers for smooth response and precise phase alignment across the entire coverage area, delivering clear, intelligible sound with consistent 102° conical coverage. A high-output 12" transducer produces deep, punchy bass down to 38 Hz, while the rugged, injection-molded enclosure and outdoor-ready metal pan/tilt bracket stand up to the elements and make aiming fast and precise. Four of these speakers provide powerful, even coverage across the ballpark.
Crown XLS2502 Power Amplifier
The XLS2502 is a dual-channel Class D power amplifier featuring Crown's ultra-efficient DriveCore 2 technology, delivering up to 775 watts per channel at 4 ohms with plenty of headroom for clean, distortion-free sound. Onboard DSP, the PureBand crossover system, and PeakX limiters give you precise control and dependable speaker protection, while XLR, 1/4", and RCA inputs and a lightweight, cool-running chassis make installation simple. A large LCD display and remote power trigger round out this powerful, install-friendly amplifier.
Pure Resonance Audio MX9 Mixer
The MX9 is a versatile 9-channel rackmount mixer that puts full control of your announcer mics, sound effects, and music in one easy-to-operate 3U chassis. It features seven balanced XLR/TRS mic inputs with 48V phantom power, 3-band EQ on every channel, and a built-in 24-bit DSP effects processor. An integrated media player with a display screen supports Bluetooth streaming, MP3, and USB playback, making it simple to stream walk-up music and between-inning audio straight from a phone or tablet.
Pure Resonance Audio WMS1-HH Wireless Microphone System
The WMS1-HH is a UHF handheld wireless microphone system that gives your announcer the freedom to move without being tied to the press box. Operating in the 540 to 590 MHz range, it offers up to a 328-foot range and up to 10 hours of battery life on two AA batteries. Automatic frequency scanning, infrared synchronization, and built-in encryption make setup quick and keep transmission clear and secure, while the rack-mountable receiver integrates cleanly into the equipment rack with balanced XLR and unbalanced outputs.
Pure Resonance Audio PTT1 Push-to-Talk Paging Microphone
The PTT1 is a desktop push-to-talk paging microphone built for clear, controlled announcements. Its unidirectional dynamic gooseneck focuses on the announcer's voice while helping reject surrounding crowd noise, and the die-cast zinc alloy table stand stands up to daily use. A dual momentary switch handles quick priority pages while a locking switch allows continuous use, and the 5-foot cable with a 3-pin XLR connector makes setup fast and simple at the announcer's table.
