BSS Soundweb helps upgrade Gaelic football stadium

Grainger Communication engaged BSS Soundweb London DSPs to provide the digital backbone for a new audio installation at McHale Park Gaelic football stadium in Castelbar, County Mayo.

The construction of a new 10,000-capacity stand constitutes the latest phase in converting the venue into a 41,000 all-seater facility.

A long-time Soundweb user, Grainger Communication MD Martin Grainger elected to install a single London BLU16 DSP block onto the CAT5 infrastructure at this stage, accommodating the phased nature of the development and allowing the possibility of further expansion in the future.

The BLU-16 offers control and I/O configurability of multiple, individually processed channels, and has enabled Grainger to create a gain structure with targeted zonal coverage of the stands, retail areas, toilets, concourses and entrance/exit points. The emergency switching is also handled in the Soundweb architecture, while delay taps and compression/limiting have also been applied where required thanks to the use of London Architect.

“Soundweb is the business,” said Grainger. “It’s logical – you can think your way around scenarios and it provides excellent sound quality.”
