Sports Complexes

Raymond Chabot Grant Thornton Park (formerly JetForm Park, Lynx Stadium, and Ottawa Baseball Stadium), also known as RCGT Park is a baseball stadium in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada with a seating capacity of 10,332. The stadium is located in the city's east end near the interchange of Queensway and Vanier Parkway. It has been used for minor-league professional baseball and music concerts since 1993.

Purpose

With an upgrade needed the stadium owners wanted to increase the sound quality and clarity while at the same time ensure that the sound waves are being directed into the stands for more efficiency. The entire speaker system needed an overhaul.

Challenge

The challenge of this project was designing the correct rigging brackets that can be positioned into the right direction, along with having enough power and sound clarity to disperse the intelligible sound to the audience.

Solution

TOA after proposing the equipment for the stadium, TOA worked diligently with the installer to ensure that the speakers worked well with the custom designed rigging bracket developed by them. The TOA variable angle speakers combined with powerful DA amps and sound mixer and DSP provided the clarity and coverage the stadium was in need of.

Feedback

With so many moving parts and coordination between TOA and the installer the project was completed with the impact the stadium owners wanted and they were very happy with the results.

FEATURED PRODUCTS

HX-5

Full area coverage and wider bandwidth sound.

The HX-5 is an innovative modular speaker design that incorporates the best characteristics of the traditional, cumbersome woofer enclosure combined with a CD horn-loaded high frequency driver and the full-range compact speaker enclosure without the drawbacks associated with each type. the HX-5 features remarkably easy to control coverage characteristics including problematic low frequencies and can be installed in a multitude of ways while maintaining a modern, unobtrusive appearance. a system is configured by four preassembled modules with four IF drivers and twelve HF dome tweeters. This configuration allows the variable directivity control and low-frequency dispersion control comparable to use a large constant directivity horn speaker. a choice of 4 directivity angles (15, 30, 45 and 60 degrees) can be employed as needed.
