A new beach volleyball venue at the heart of the campus of Louisiana State University (LSU) in Baton Rouge, with seating for up to 450 spectators and six competition courts covered in 24-inch deep sand, is equipped with a sound reinforcement system incorporating Danley Sound Labs loudspeakers and supporting components.
“Over the years, many of our facilities have received upgrades or we’ve needed to replace systems,” says Terrance Bold, director of audio and visual services at LSU. “This installation was new unlike those prior projects.”
The design of the new system was completed by AJP Consulting while Sound Advice of Baton Rouge handled the installation. Danley Sound Labs western sales manager Kim Comeaux was also involved in the project.
“Danley SH96HO and GO2-8CX loudspeakers were the perfect choice for this installation,” says Comeaux. “We also used Danley TH412 subwoofers for the low end of the system. Just like all of the Danley Sound Labs’ systems on campus, this one brings an appropriate ‘punch’ to their sound and really creates a festive environment, perfect for LSU Athletics.”
“The level of clarity from music to announcements are equally balanced,” Bold concludes. “The projection and even coverage across the entire stadium from a single location with minimal need for cabinets is unique to point source loudspeaker suppliers like Danley. It performs as if the scoreboard was loaded with multiple speakers pointed in many positions.”
Danley amplifiers, loudspeakers, and subwoofers are also utilized in LSU facilities that include Alex Box Stadium, Carl Maddox Field House, and Tiger Stadium.
