AVL Designs, Inc. was contracted to design a sound reinforcement system for the 3,500 seat field house and adjacent ice arena of Buffalo State College. With a wooden floor and large glass windows, the arena space has a high reverberation time and would require a design that minimized sound splash onto these surfaces. AVL designed a system that covers the entire room, yet still holds to plus-or-minus two decibels throughout the seating area. The final design has a central cluster above the scoreboard that utilizes Electrovoice HP series horns and Community low frequency devices. The system design utilized a minimal number of output devices to keep horizontal lobing interference well controlled. Other features of the system include monitoring systems for broadcast, and broadcast interfaces to allow for easy access into the system. Overall, this “simple” system effectively covers the entire space with no coverage gaps. The system covers the space while avoiding the hollow sound qualities that many field house systems tend to exhibit.
