Video Case Study: Friday Night Lights Gets Loud in Texas

The new scoreboard and sound at New Caney Independent School District (ISD) football stadium.

New Caney Independent School District (ISD)—located in Montgomery County, TX—recently amped up it's stadium sound. A new Electro-Voice and Dynacord sound system—featuring the new MTS high-output point-source loudspeakers—add a new audio experience alongside a brand-new scoreboard display.

Brent Thornhill and his team from Southwest Building Systems (SBS), specialists in high-school stadium AV solutions, are no strangers to New Caney ISD. SBS installed the previous Electro-Voice and Dynacord installation at New Caney ISD around a decade ago and returned to bring new sound to the stadium.

The new design mounted three MTS loudspeakers (left-center-right) on top of the new scoreboard, which not only freed up the real estate needed for a larger digital scoreboard, but also provided coverage for both stands and the field. It was a win-win for everyone. 

The MTS-4153-64FWB weatherized versions selected for New Caney ISD are three-way loudspeakers with a 60x40 coverage pattern that’s ideal for large-scale applications like sports stadiums. Each unit combines four 15-inch woofers with dual coaxial mid/high compression drivers via a single waveguide, in a design focused on cohesive output with a strong bass response. The system can generate more than 151 dB peak SPL with exact directivity for long-throw applications. The loudspeakers are supported by three weatherized X12-128-FGB dual-18-inch subwoofers. The X12-128 utilizes super-high-output DVF4180 woofers for low distortion and extremely high SPLs.
