Washington Pro Deploys Fulcrum At Heart Of Sonic Upgrade At SHI Stadium At Rutgers

Maryland-based integrator deploys new venue-wide system serving 52,454-seat facility on the university's campus in Piscataway, NJ that's headed by AHS-series loudspeaker arrays.

Maryland-based Washington Professional Systems (WPS) announced that it has completed the integration of a venue-wide sound reinforcement system upgrade at 52,454-seat SHI Stadium on the campus of Rutgers University in Piscataway, NJ that’s headed by AHS-series steerable loudspeaker arrays from Fulcrum Acoustic.

WPS worked with Anthony James Partners and Fulcrum Acoustic to engineer a stacked-array design within the south end-zone scoreboard enclosure that includes six AHS440 and two AHS460 steerable arrays along with eight CX1226 12-inch and eight CX828 loudspeakers as well as a dozen US221-4 subwoofers. Audio power is supplied by 17 Powersoft Quattrocanali 8804 amplifiers with processing via the Q-SYS Core 110f DSP platform, with WPS programming the DSP and customizing the QSC touch panel for easier access to the system controls.

The WPS team also renovated the existing infrastructure and installed new fiber optic, Ethernet, and analog line-level cabling to support the new equipment throughout the stadium, in addition to adding an analog backup to the audio system that interfaces with emergency broadcasting, allowing the system to mute completely for emergency notifications.

“We are excited to join forces with Rutgers University and Anthony James Partners on this iconic stadium,” says Keith Neubert, executive director of Engineered Systems at WPS. “The new audio system sets a new standard of excellence with its impressive coverage and quality, ensuring that SHI Stadium remains one of the premier stadiums in all of college football.”
