AUSTRALIAN SOFTBALL CENTRE UPGRADES TO COMMUNITY

10 August 2017

Blacktown International Sportspark’s Softball Centre is one of Australia’s finest softball facilities, hosting a wide programme of prestigious national and international tournaments and training.

The Softball Centre recently commissioned Sydney based integrator, Kayder, to install a new main PA system. The brief was to provide a durable all-weather system with superior speech intelligibility, while maintaining extended response for full range music when required. Working together with Hills, the system was designed using Community R Series loudspeakers as the chosen solution to meet the client’s criteria.

Blake Kirby of Hills commented, “In addition to outstanding intelligibility, sound quality and all-weather reliability, the advantage of R Series lies in its wide range of models, which provides all the throw and dispersion pattern combinations needed to optimise any system for complete and consistent coverage.” Kirby continued, “For the Softball Centre the coverage required four R.5HP, 14 R.5-94TZ and two R.35-3896B.”

For ease of use with flexibility, Kayder designed the system with full Crestron control. System DSP is handled by Q-SYS and QSC amplifiers were chosen to power the Community loudspeakers.

“A leading international venue such as the Softball Centre deserves a class-leading sound system, and that’s what has been delivered,” concludes Kirby. “With glowing reports from the installer and end-user alike, the system will provide the best possible experience for fans for many years to come.”
