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 five Community R.5-94TZ weather-resistant loudspeakers, this system provides high-output sound reinforcement for play-by-play announcements, music, and general public address applications. Each loudspeaker features a 90° x 40° coverage pattern, allowing speakers to be strategically positioned and aimed toward bleachers, spectator seating, athletic fields, and other designated listening areas. The durable, weather-resistant enclosures are engineered to withstand demanding outdoor conditions, while the 70V/100V transformer design supports flexible distributed speaker installations. With 1,000 feet of West Penn 14/2 Aquaseal speaker wire included, this system provides a practical solution for distributing sound throughout larger outdoor facilities.
At the center of the system, the Yamaha MG12 12-channel mixing console provides flexible control over announcements, music, and multiple audio sources. Operators can connect microphones, laptops, media players, and other compatible audio equipment, allowing them to adjust individual input levels and create a balanced mix for different events and activities. The Crown CDi 4000 2-channel power amplifier delivers reliable, high-power amplification with built-in DSP processing for speaker optimization and protection. For music and prerecorded content, the Tascam CD-400U CD and media player supports Bluetooth streaming from compatible smartphones and tablets, CD playback, USB flash drives, SD cards, and AM/FM radio. This versatility allows stadium operators to play warm-up music, team introductions, walk-up songs, halftime entertainment, sponsor messages, prerecorded announcements, and other audio content throughout an event.
For live announcements, this stadium audio system includes both wired and wireless microphone options. The Pure Resonance Audio UC1S dynamic vocal microphone pairs with an adjustable AtlasIED desktop microphone stand to provide a dependable solution for play-by-play announcers, press box operators, and public address personnel. The Pure Resonance Audio WMS1-HH handheld wireless microphone system provides additional flexibility for on-field presentations, award ceremonies, halftime activities, and other events where a microphone cable would limit movement. With automatic frequency scanning, simple pairing, and an operating range of up to 328 feet under suitable conditions, the wireless microphone makes it easy to communicate with audiences from different locations throughout the venue.
Designed for organized operation and convenient transportation, the Gator GRC-12X10 PU mobile audio console rack brings the system's primary audio equipment together in one portable setup. The Yamaha MG12 mixer is secured in the 12U pop-up top section using the Yamaha RKMG12 rackmount kit, allowing operators to adjust the console to a comfortable working angle. The lower 10U rack section accommodates the Tascam media player, wireless microphone receiver, Crown power amplifier, and Gator 3U locking rack drawer for secure accessory storage. Heavy-duty casters allow the rack to be moved between equipment rooms, press boxes, and event locations, while the locking wheels help keep it securely positioned during operation. Complete with the necessary audio interconnect cables and outdoor-rated speaker wire, this versatile stadium sound system is ideal for football, baseball, and soccer facilities, racetracks, school athletic complexes, fairgrounds, and other outdoor venues requiring dependable sound reinforcement.
