Sound System/ Inernet Update in Stadium

[Abdullah the Butcher]

It sits in front of the speaker box, I'm sure they already planned it out but hopefully it doesn't f#*k with the sound.

Technology updates put people in two categories. Ones that embrace them as improvements and let them enhance their lives and ones that wish things were like the old days. With every new update things at different. That means new negatives and positives, different ones. But once the cat is out of the bag things won't go back.

 

Take the uniform trend. I was always a stick to tradition guy. But once Oregon started it caught on. At that point there were two choices. Change with the times or get left behind. Sure it shows that this generation is more for instant gratification, looks and other shallow things. But when 90% of high school seniors want it you significantly limit your resource pool by sticking to what worked in 1970.

 

If YOU want/don't want to use the new wifi great. But it's a personal choice for everyone to make on their own.

I mean, it's a sound system, so most likely we won't know until the first game I would assume.

Thought I'd post from top row of south stadium using WiFi.

 

Seems to up and running well for the marching band exhibition.

Additional notes:

 

No the sound system wasn't used. Probably have to wait for gameday. Which can't come fast enough.

LOOK OUT ... Working on Memorial Stadium - making the sound system even LOUDER.

 

The problem wasn't ever really the loudness. The problem is it's only originating from one spot IMO. I would think they could put speakers up around other parts of the stadium, turn the sound down, and it would still be loud and also everyone could hear it about equally well. It's plenty loud in the North, but much is lost by the time it gets to the south.

 

Is it not possible to put speaker somewhere on each side of the stadium? Or can't it work? I'm no audio expert so I don't know but that seems to be the obvious way to do it. Anyone that has that expertise know?

 

It's replacing the old speaker cluster system. The new speaker system will use line array and beam focusing technology. Basically, the speakers will be mounted to create a near-line source of sound.

The speakers will constructivally interfere with each other to amplify the directon of the sound opposed to having huge large speakers turned up very very loud.

 

 

I missed this post awhile back but +1 sir, this is fantastic information and fantastic news.

[cg_8]

Yeah!

 

I don't know what those charts mean, or what they are saying, but I assume, it's only good.

Letter to the LJS:

 

We are senior citizens and have enjoyed Big Red football ever since Bob Devaney came in 1962 -- 334 football games.

We think the new stadium sound system is great; however, it was so loud we could hardly talk to each other. People could probably hear it in Crete!

Come on. Turn it down halfway, and by the way it would be nice to have some wonderful music instead of all this hip-hop hogwash ... the kind that Dr. Tom Osborne could enjoy.

I'm sure I can guess most reactions on here but I posted it mainly to ask how people thought the new system worked. It seemed to be much more clear and synced with the audio in East Stadium. Was it not as deafening in North? Easy to understand in South?

[Chaddyboxer]

It think it sounded great. Real crisp, plenty of bass, but not so much that it drowned out the music. I was in the North stadium and it definitely sounded louder and clearer than last year.

[QMany]

I loved the new sound system, I thought it sounded great. It was loud, but I didn't think it was too loud.

[Chaddyboxer]

I didn't have any real issues with the WiFi in the NW part of the stadium either. I thought it worked fairly well for me.

Very happy with the new sound system. We sit next to these speakers, and even when they were announcing or playing music, we could still talk. First time in years I haven't left a game feeling like I'd stood next to the speakers at a concert.
