A Soundsphere System is Replaced with Something Better... a NEW Soundsphere System!

Although Soundsphere loudspeakers have always been known for their superior quality and high performance, they have been significantly improved over the years, a fact that is illustrated by a recent installation at Shawnee High School in Medford, NJ. As Shawnee's Athletic Director Mike Matthews tells the story, "In our gym, we were trying to make do with an old system of four small Soundspheres and an ancient amplifier. The gym was just too large for the speakers that were originally specified. We needed a new system that would provide the whole gym with clear, powerful sound for pep rallies, game announcements and the singing of the national anthem."

Unaware of the expanded full-frequency coverage area of the latest Soundsphere loudspeakers, the school's Booster Club budgeted sufficient funds to purchase four new Soundsphere speakers and two new amplifiers. It was later determined, however, that only two Q-12A speakers and one amplifier were required to produce high-quality sound in the entire gym. As a result, there was enough money left over to purchase another item on the school's "wish list": a portable defibrillator for cardiac emergencies.

Ed Tabian, Treasurer of the Shawnee High School Booster Club, says, "The use of Soundsphere speakers has benefitted the school in two ways. Not only do we have much better sound in the gym, but we also have the security of an on-site defibrillator."
