PANSTADIA & ARENA MANAGEMENT WINTER 2013/14
Tampa Bay Times Forum The precise challenge in this venue was to engage spectators more closely in the action of the games on the ice rink at Tampa Bay Times Forum, including reproducing the sound of the stick hitting the puck. The solution had to overcome the diffi culty of the relationship between the placement of microphones on the glass which needs to pick up the sounds of the game but not the PA system.
dV-DOSC and ARCS deployment ensured accurate coverage from the glass up to the top tier seating, and razor sharp vertical control to fulfi l the design objective. ARCS were used under the scoreboard to supply high impact sound to the players on the ice surface.
DV-SUB was added to the 6 main arrays with 2 x 4 SB218 additional subwoofers for enhanced low frequency extension and impact.
The system was implemented following the Soundvision model. It produced extremely even coverage and the performance upgrade overall was dramatic. No delays were required, and the system was completely turnkey.
Nagai Stadium
A new PA system was required to reproduce music programmes at the Nagai Stadium with an extended frequency range and a high SPL. The consultant had to fi nd a balance between preserving the musicality of the system and maintaining the intelligibility necessary for announcements. Echoes created by the selected multi-cluster approach had to be minimised.
The distributed design was deployed with ARCS constant curvature enclosures arranged in horizontal arrays

(due to the fact that widely distributed vertical arrays tend to generate echoes).
This WST system features a razor sharp directivity in the horizontal plane, thus creating audience sectors acoustically distinct from each other.
At a throw distance of 50m, the ARCS system distributed in arrays of 3-4 enclosures yields a consistent, cost effective coverage with early and late interferences reduced to minimum. The system combines intelligibility, musicality and clarity.

I pointed out the difference in the pattern control between L-ACOUSTICS and other manufacturers. Keeping the audio out of the broadcast and ice rink mics on the glass was essential to achieve gain before feedback.

The L-ACOUSTICS system delivers outstanding performance in terms of intelligibility, SPL and coverage.
