A Customer Story: Eastern Local Middle and High School Enhance Game Days With an Upgraded Football Stadium Sound System Design

Background

Eastern Local Middle and High School, located in Beaver, Ohio, serves students in grades 6-12. As a smaller school district, Eastern Local is dedicated to providing a well-rounded experience for students and their surrounding community. The school’s football stadium has long been a hub for various events, becoming a fan favorite over the years. However, the aging sound system began to fail, making it difficult to maintain a lively experience during game days and practices. Despite several repairs, the system could no longer meet the growing demands of the schools’ sports programs and events. Recognizing the need for better sound quality and coverage, Principal Robie Day, along with the technology coordinator, decided that a complete replacement of the football stadium sound system was necessary to enhance the game day experience.

Collaboration with Pro Acoustics

Following extensive research and evaluation, Robie engaged with multiple companies to explore potential solutions. After in-depth discussions with two providers, Pro Acoustics emerged as the most suitable partner to fulfill the schools’ requirements due to pricing and system selection. Nathan Turner, a sales engineer at Pro Acoustics, provided exceptional expertise and guidance throughout the process. His comprehensive understanding of football field speaker systems and related audio solutions enabled Robie to identify the best configuration for Eastern Local’s unique infrastructure. Through a thorough needs assessment and tailored recommendations, Robie selected a state-of-the-art football PA system that features outdoor stadium speakers, a stadium horn, a power amplifier, and a Bluetooth audio mixer, delivering a seamless audio experience. Additionally, the integration of a desktop microphone and wireless microphone systems with a wireless antenna distributor further enhanced the stadium's capabilities, facilitating more effective announcements and presentations during game days. The wireless setup provides the freedom to move around while ensuring stable transmission, enabling uninterrupted communication and flexibility for announcers and presenters.

Reflection

Since the installation of the new football stadium sound system design, Eastern Local Middle and High School has experienced significant improvements. The upgraded audio technology provides exceptional sound quality and expanded coverage, ensuring an enhanced auditory experience for all attendees. The system's intuitive and user-friendly interface, particularly within the press box, allows staff to manage audio operations with ease. Throughout the football season, staff and spectators have consistently praised the system's performance and reliability.

With complete confidence in the selected products, the school has expressed a high level of satisfaction with the outcome. The investment in the upgraded football PA system has not only elevated the game day atmosphere but also reinforced the school’s commitment to providing top-tier facilities for its students and the community. The successful collaboration with Pro Acoustics and the outstanding performance of the new stadium equipment has exceeded expectations, delivering a lasting and impactful upgrade.
