The home of the University of Houston Cougars and the XFL\u2019s Houston Roughnecks needed a sonic update that packed a punch, even without subs, and this K2-anchored system fit the bill<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

HOUSTON, Texas \u2013 October 2022 \u2013<\/strong> From 2014 to 2017, the University of Houston Cougars football team won 16 straight games on its home gridiron\u2014the John O\u2019Quinn Field at TDECU Stadium\u2014marking the longest active home winning streak in the nation at the time. However, the PA system for the facility, which opened in August of 2014, didn\u2019t share quite the same success, quickly falling victim to the area\u2019s increasingly volatile weather and early component failures. Thankfully, LD Systems was recently able to step in and remedy the situation with a loudspeaker design from L-Acoustics that offered vastly better audio quality via a streamlined combination of K, A, and X Series products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

TDECU Stadium\u2014its official name derived from the Texas Dow Employees Credit Union, the largest credit union in Houston\u2014is built on the site of the former Robertson Stadium and also hosts the XFL’s Houston Roughnecks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Matt Rhodes, Sales Engineer at LD Systems, University of Houston\u2019s longtime AV partner, commented on the stadium\u2019s sound over the past few years: \u201cWe had been helping the school nurse its existing sound system through football seasons for the past two years, but it became clear that they needed a new, more modern audio system. We looked at a few options with them and found that L-Acoustics offered the right mix of components to create a powerful yet cost-effective system for the client.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The stadium\u2019s new system now comprises two hangs of 12 K2<\/a> enclosures over six Kara II<\/a> per side of the scoreboard, flanked by a combination of A15i Wide<\/a> and A15i Focus<\/a> enclosures in two hangs per side as side-fill arrays. Six coaxial X12<\/a> and X8<\/a> loudspeakers are used as lower arrays below the scoreboard, essentially creating a powerful but low-profile point-source sound system, a typical design for a college football venue but one that benefits from the varied palette of components L-Acoustics provides, instead of the usual brute-force horns that many such venues have used over the decades. The system is arranged in a high-tech and powerful \u201cnecklace\u201d around the scoreboard, collectively powered by two LA4X<\/a>, three LA2Xi<\/a>, and ten LA12X<\/a> amplified controllers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Seeing that the L-Acoustics K2 enclosure is capable of outputting exceptional low frequencies on its own\u2014all the way down to 35 Hz\u2014subwoofers weren\u2019t necessary for this project. \u201cIt was important to the school that the sound system be able to pump up the teams and fans ahead of games,\u201d says Rhodes. \u201cThey use a lot of hip-hop music for warm-ups, and they want the fans excited. Everyone was impressed by the amount of low-frequency energy that K2 is capable of.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

TDECU Stadium\u2019s new sound system officially debuted on September 17th when the Cougars took on the Kansas Jayhawks of the University of Kansas. \u201cThe Cougars are an incredible team, and the whole sporting experience there at the stadium is going to be even more amazing for the fans now that this new sound system is in place,\u201d adds Rhodes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

University of Houston Senior Associate Athletics Director TJ Meagher agrees. \u201cLD Systems\u2019 installation of the L-Acoustics line arrays has brought the big sound that our stadium has needed for the last few seasons,\u201d he shares. \u201cWhile it\u2019s hard to appreciate how the elegant and understated speakers flanking the video board could deliver such a full audio experience, it\u2019s the adaptability of the controls that make this next-level fan entertainment. The sound quality and volume are incredible, and the system has given us the latitude to look at our in-game entertainment with a much broader perspective.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
