Situated in Brunswick, GA, Glynn County Stadium is understood to get loud on gameday, being dwelling to each the Brunswick Pirates and the Glynn Academy Crimson Terrors varsity soccer groups. To make sure all 12,000-seats take pleasure in the identical high-quality aural expertise, an Electro-Voice and Dynacord system was put in by Brunswick-based AV East.
“The sports activities complicated not too long ago constructed a subject home behind the stadium with an all-glass wall dealing with the soccer subject,” defined Anthony Stubelek, proprietor of AV East. “The slapback off that wall was creating havoc with the sound from the prevailing system, put in together with the LED scoreboard just a few years in the past. It was time for one thing new.” Whereas Stubelek was placing collectively choices for the complicated, his AV companion within the mission, iMint Media, recommended that he contemplate the brand new Electro-Voice MTS loudspeakers, which he had heard at one other stadium set up.

“After researching them, it appeared just like the MTS was precisely what we would have liked,” added Stubelek. “I contacted my gross sales rep, Jordan Smith, with Gross sales Pressure & Associates, and walked him by means of our necessities. The purpose-source MTS checked all our containers.” Smith beneficial two MTS-4153-64, one for both sides of the sector, with low-end assist supplied by 4 Electro-Voice X12-128 dual-18-inch subwoofers. Dynacord IPX sequence amplifiers energy the loudspeakers and subs.
The 2 absolutely weatherized MTS loudspeakers are mounted on the scoreboard with customized brackets designed and constructed by Stubelek. The chosen MTS-4153-64 fashions mix 4 15-inch woofers with twin coaxial mid/excessive compression drivers through a single waveguide in a design targeted on cohesive output with a robust bass response. Coupled with their extraordinarily high-output and long-throw capability, the 60×40 protection sample retains output exactly targeted with the requisite intelligibility and influence for a very spectacular out of doors audio expertise. The 4 subs are positioned underneath the scoreboard on a customized platform—additionally designed by Stubelek—that retains them out of the way in which of the rain “splash zone” and any standing water.

Dynacord IPX multi-channel DSP amplifiers for mounted set up functions drive the system. These amplifiers are geared up with OMNEO IP networking structure, enabling Dante and OCA/AES70 networking. IPX sequence fashions additionally function excessive decision 96 kHz DSP with low latency and a excessive signal-to-noise ratio, and complicated applied sciences for added power effectivity and system safety. The 2 MTS containers are powered by an IPX10:4 (with an output capability of as much as 10,000 watts throughout 4 channels), whereas the 4 X12-128 subwoofers are powered by an IPX20:4 (with a complete output capability of as much as 20,000 watts). Stubelek has an extra IPX10:4 on website for redundancy functions. The amplifiers are mounted in weatherproof, air-conditioned racks beneath the scoreboard.
“The primary time I heard MTS loudspeakers was once we turned them on to fee the system,” Stubelek concluded. “That was a terrific day. I used to be so impressed. The system sounded superb.”
“The MTS are as near ‘sounding nice out of the field’ as potential. After I logged into the Dynacord SONICUE Sound System Software program and checked the EQ curve, it wanted minimal adjustment, which is uncommon in my expertise as a touring FOH engineer and installer. The throw from every loudspeaker was precisely what Jordan and my laptop fashions instructed me, when it comes to distance and SPL. As well as, the choice to have an Electro-Voice and Dynacord technician out there to fee the system was a strong promoting level. Moreover, the loudspeakers arrived forward of schedule! I might extremely advocate your entire package deal.”
