The 895 lb array consisted of 16 EV XLD 281/291 loudspeakers.  The full arraay is capable of driving 12,000 watts of power which we hoisted with a 1 ton CM Loadstar lift motor. We understand that these loudspeakers will be used to simulate crowd noise for when the Zips participate in bigger games. We ran 3000’ total of 12 West Penn 227 12GA single pair lines to feed this beastly loudspeaker array.

The rigging used to hang the drivers from the steel girders consisted of steel aircraft cable with a safety ratio of 6:1. The driver enclosures have two rear integrated hinge points to control the angles from 0-10 degrees on each enclosure. The first enclosure starts at a 2 degree down tilt and the final enclosure ends up at 80 degrees.

We also installed a PA system installed to address the bleachers. We mounted 6 EV ZX3-PI-W loudspeakers with total power handling of 4800 watts. They’re fed with 4 250’ runs of West Penn 227.

We made use of the EV Netmax system controller for sound processing. We installed 2 user controlled wall plates allowing for volume control and zone selection. We also feed the PA system with a microphone from the athletic director’s office emergency paging and announcements.

The whole system receives inputs from 2 handheld wireless microphones, 2 hard wired microphones, a CD player iPod interface and 1 auxiliary input.

A rare visit during the 42 days at UH.  

AA Sound & Lighting is proudly supporting a team for the 60 mile walk in Cleveland at the end of July 2011.   My name is Jodi and I am the Operations Manger for AA Sound & Lighting.  My Mother was diagnosed with Leukemia on September 1, 2010 and I had made the decision prior to that diagnosis to “Walk for the Cure” for Breast Cancer.   The walk is 60 miles over 3 days in Cleveland, OH at the end of July.   I decided to walk for the cure for a number of reasons:  1: for the many friends that have been touched by breast cancer (I lost one of my best friends when I was 27, she was 25)  2: for my two beautiful daughters, I would love for a cure to be found in their lifetime and 3:  after watching the horror of the treatment with my Mother….I would love to find a cure so NO ONE would ever have to go through it again.   I  joined to walk by myself and was fortunate enough to have three other ladies sign up to walk with me.     

 Our team name is Ooey Gooey.  If you would like to donate, please go to www.the3day.org and search “Ooey Gooey”.    From there…just follow the directions.   We have to each raise $2,300 just to be able to walk.  So, if you would like to donate, we would appreciate it!

We, as a team, would like to give a special  “Thank you”  to AA Sound & Lighting for supporting us!

Sincerely,

Jodi Workman
