Inside the Design
This complete Community stadium sound system is designed to deliver powerful, clear audio for outdoor athletic facilities, stadiums, arenas, and large gathering areas where reliable sound coverage and speech intelligibility are essential. Featuring two Community R.5-94TZ weather-resistant loudspeakers and one Community R2-52Z long-throw horn-loaded loudspeaker, the system combines wide-area sound reinforcement with focused, long-distance audio projection. The R.5-94TZ speakers feature controlled 90° x 40° coverage patterns, allowing sound to be directed toward bleachers, spectator seating, and designated listening areas, while the R2-52Z provides a narrower 50° x 20° coverage pattern for projecting clear announcements and music toward more distant areas. Built for demanding outdoor environments, these high-performance loudspeakers provide dependable sound reinforcement for football stadiums, baseball fields, soccer complexes, racetracks, and other large outdoor venues.
At the center of the system, the Alesis MultiMix 10 Wireless 10-channel rackmount mixer provides flexible control over microphones, music, and other audio sources. Operators can connect wired and wireless microphones, media players, laptops, and compatible auxiliary equipment, with individual channel controls for adjusting and balancing sound throughout an event. Built-in Bluetooth allows convenient wireless music streaming from compatible devices, while the Tascam CD-400U CD and media player adds CD, USB, SD card, Bluetooth, and AM/FM playback options. This versatility makes it easy to provide pre-game entertainment, team introductions, walk-up songs, halftime music, sponsor messages, and prerecorded announcements. The Crown CDi 4000 2-channel power amplifier delivers reliable, high-power amplification with built-in DSP processing for speaker optimization, equalization, crossover filtering, and output protection.
For live announcements and presentations, the system includes the Shure SLXD124+/85M digital wireless combo system with an SM58 handheld microphone and WL185m lavalier microphone, providing flexible microphone options for different event activities. The handheld microphone is ideal for on-field announcements, award ceremonies, halftime presentations, and special guest introductions, while the lavalier microphone offers convenient hands-free operation for presenters and announcers. Both microphones share a single-channel wireless receiver and can be used individually as needed. Two Shure PA805SWB directional antennas, a UA221 passive antenna splitter/combiner kit, and two 25ft UA825 antenna extension cables provide flexible options for positioning wireless reception equipment to accommodate the venue's layout. For dependable wired operation, the included Pure Resonance Audio UC1S dynamic vocal microphone pairs with an adjustable Atlas Sound desktop stand, making it an excellent solution for play-by-play commentary and announcements from a stadium press box or control area.
Designed for organized operation and equipment protection, the SKB 1SKB-R10U 10U roto-molded rack case houses the system's professional audio components in one convenient setup. The rack accommodates the Alesis mixer, Crown power amplifier, Tascam media player, Shure wireless receiver, and Juice Goose JG 8LED power distribution center, while two Gator 1U steel flat panels provide a clean, professional appearance by covering unused rack spaces. The Juice Goose power distribution center supplies convenient AC power connections and includes adjustable LED rack lighting for improved visibility when operating equipment in dimly lit environments. Complete with professional audio cables and 500 feet of West Penn 12/2 Aquaseal speaker wire, this versatile stadium sound system provides a practical solution for music playback, announcements, play-by-play commentary, and public address applications across outdoor sports facilities and entertainment venues.
