BASEBALL FIELD #1
SEMI-DISTRIBUTED SYSTEM ON PRESS BOX
Center of press-box roof
is the best location for field
coverage loudspeakers.
DISCUSSION
When it’s possible to use a distributed system outdoors, the benefits are numerous. This design offers smooth and even
coverage of the seating areas with excellent sound quality and minimal neighborhood spill. The equipment cost is moder-
ate and installation is relatively easy. If the electronics rack can be located in the press box, cable lengths are probably
short enough to allow use of regular (vs. transformer) R-Series models which reduces total system costs.
The design is very flexible making it easy to add coverage for remote bleachers, concessions, player dugouts or the field
itself. Install the loudspeakers on a press box or centrally-located concessions stand. Alternatively, use the edge of a roof
over the bleachers. Consider protecting the loudspeakers from thieves and vandals if they are hanging low enough to
reach easily.
Field Coverage and Neighborhood Spill
R1s, located at the ends of the press box, can cover remote seating areas, a concession stand or player dugouts. The
press box distributed loudspeakers will provide some field coverage. When additional field coverage is needed, choose a
single loudspeaker location such as the center of the press box roof. If there’s a roof over the bleachers, install field cov-
R1 long-throw for distant
bleachers or concessions. For field
coverage, see “Discussion”.
Colors show sound level variation in audience
areas. Field, press box and other areas will
also receive sound (not shown).
R.5 short-throw for
bleachers or concessions.
