Wind, distance, crowd noise, and open-air acoustics all work against intelligibility, making equipment selection and system design critical to the final result. When Unity Christian High School needed a professional sound system for their football field, Mid States Audio & Video delivered a solution purpose-built for the outdoor environment.

The system is built around Community loudspeakers, a brand with a long track record in outdoor and stadium-style sound reinforcement. Community speakers are engineered for extended throw distances and high output in open-air applications, ensuring that game announcements, music, and officiating audio reach fans in the stands clearly — even when the crowd is loud and the wind is picking up on a Friday night.

Power is provided by LEA amplifiers, a newer but rapidly adopted platform in professional commercial audio. LEA's networkable amplifiers offer smart power management, remote monitoring capability, and reliable output performance that keeps the system running smoothly through an entire season of games and events without unexpected failures.

Shure wireless microphones handle the mic side of the system, giving game announcers and event coordinators the freedom to move naturally while maintaining clear, professional-quality audio. Shure's wireless systems are among the most trusted in live event production, and that reliability translates directly to the Friday night football environment.
