When Midland Christian School in west Texas needed a sound system for Friday night football games, the MCS Booster Club brought in Basin Electric & Technology.
The installer decided on K-array. “The fact that we can get a great sounding K-array system in such a unique portable setup is an added bonus,” explains Henry Greer from Basin. “It helps us in our setup times and ultimately makes the events we work on better for our clients and us.”
“We love the KR402 systems for their ability to produce clarity at high volumes, while still maintaining headroom,” Greer continues. “The systems also project across long distances amazingly well for a small portable system.”
The venue is a small high school football stadium that holds roughly 3,000 fans where four KR402 portable systems are set up in the north end zone and projected to both the east and west stands and along with the playing field. They are lined in a row with the two outside systems aimed at the stands and while the inside systems are aimed at the field.
Signal to the KR402 systems were fed by a Midas M32R in the press box connected to a Midas S32 stage box down on the field with outputs directly into the loudspeakers. The loudspeakers were linked utilizing the AES/EBU connections on the back of the speakers.
Client Mark Threadgill from the booster club repeatedly remarked on how impressed they were with the “fullness” of the sound system.
“Compared to our in-house sound system, the difference is night and day.” As project supervisor, Greer would like to thank Midland Christian School for allowing them to be a part of the storied sport in Texas and to thank the entire team at Basin Electric & Technology for all of their hard work for a successful project.
