Billed as “The Nation’s most spectacular college soccer facility,” Dr. Mark and Cindy Lynn Stadium at the University of Louisville features seating for more than 5,300 soccer fans, a 15,500 square-foot training center. Designed by consultant Tom Lorenzen of dBA Acoustics in Louisville, the audio system provides clear announcements and high-fidelity music to fans in four separate seating areas and to players and officials on the field.
The loudspeakers are powered by Lab Gruppen amplifiers and a Biamp Audia-Flex DSP provides equalization and delay to assure consistent sound arrivals throughout the stadium. The press booth includes a Shure announce microphone and an Allen & Heath mixer and Shure wireless microphones are used on the field.
Bland Technologies of Louisville installed the system adding a custom touch screen user interface to control the various speaker zones and presets. The project was completed in time for standing-room-only crowds to witness the Louisville Cardinal’s opening game soccer victories in their 2014-2015 season.
