Members BillESC Posted January 2, 2006 Members Share Posted January 2, 2006 Atlas horns with drivers will do the job nicely. We've installed them for a lot of atheletic fields and never had a call back or complaint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't forget those horns need HPF's around 200-300Hz though depending on model of horn. Oh... don't overpower those drivers either! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members ctardi Posted January 2, 2006 Members Share Posted January 2, 2006 If you really are just using it for what you said, name announcement, and walk out songs, it shouldn't make a difference. That budged will barley get you a good thump inside, never mind outside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're kidding right? For $1000 - $1500 you should be happy getting intelligable sound and music... add another $1000 or two for a bit of thump outdoors.

Members laidback Posted January 2, 2006 Members Share Posted January 2, 2006 Community's "R" series. From what I've heard, the Atlas sounds good and is priced better. If you plan on putting music thru these, definitely hi pass them--they aren't going to reproduce very low freqs anyway and sending lf to them will just eat headroom and smoke diaphragms.

Members agedhorse Posted January 2, 2006 Members Share Posted January 2, 2006 Yes, the Community speakers would be fine, as would the Atlas products of similar nature... but you aren't gonna put together a system for $1000-$1500 that way, hence my suggested upgrade to the budget.

Members ctardi Posted January 2, 2006 Members Share Posted January 2, 2006 The communities are lookin at about $700/pop. I use their 'indoor' portable speakers alot, great things, stand up to lots of abuse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe $2500... if only 2 boxes will work for the application. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members BillESC Posted January 2, 2006 Members Share Posted January 2, 2006 As I originally posted (and suggested)... Atlas horns. With your budget you can easily get four, a mixer/amplifier and CD music source. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members dboomer Posted January 3, 2006 Members Share Posted January 3, 2006 The community R-5's are MUCH better than the Atlas but way more expensive. A lot of your decision should be based on how you are aiming your projection and how far spread out the audience is. Any chance the speakers could be mounted on the Press Box and not left out in the weather. If you don't have to deal with weather-proof speakers your choices open up a lot. You could even consider our little Line Array model. The cool thing about line arrays is that you can get the volume up at a distance without over-powering listeners that are sitting nearby.

Members BillESC Posted January 3, 2006 Members Share Posted January 3, 2006 Next time I'll click on the link before making a rash statement. Kind of looks like the Bose Pas system that's bent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only 93db/2.83v sounds conservative for 16 two inchers. Those four running -6db on bottom must bring this figure down. I could have used dozens of these in installs I've done in the past.
