Provident Bank Park has rapidly become an important destination for sports and entertainment
USA - Provident Bank Park is home to the Rockland Boulders minor league baseball team as well as the St. Thomas Aquinas College baseball team. Opened in June of 2011, the stadium is also undergoing its first season as a summer concert venue. Featuring a variety of well-known acts, including Gavin DeGraw, Colbie Caillat, Gretchen Wilson, REO Speedwagon, and Smashmouth, among others, Provident Bank Park has rapidly become an important destination for sports and entertainment.

To ensure the best possible audio quality for its patrons, stadium management wanted a world-class sound system. They found it with a collection of loudspeakers drawn from the Aero Series 2 catalogue of Valencia, Spain-based D.A.S. Audio.

Dynamic Productions, a full event production, sound, lighting and staging company headquartered in Orangeburg, NY, was contracted to provide staging, lighting, sound, video, and full production support for this season's concert series.

Working in conjunction with D.A.S. Audio's Miami, FL-based office, company owner Brian Rosenblum and his team deployed a sound system incorporating numerous Aero 12A powered, compact, two-way, line array modules, LX-218CA powered, high performance subwoofers, Aero 8A powered, ultra-compact, two-way line array modules, and Road 12A, powered, two-way stage monitors. Rosenblum discussed the project.

"Being a relatively new stadium that had never hosted any prior concerts, we found ourselves with a clean slate in terms of what equipment would be deployed," Rosenblum explained. "The stage is located in the outfield about 60 feet behind second base and it faces in toward home plate. The main challenges in this venue were that the audience could potentially be seated up to 350' away from the PA (behind and above home plate), and well beyond 1st and 3rd base. This required a PA system capable of long distance throw and wide 180+ degree coverage. Because of this unique situation, we consulted with D.A.S. Audio's Carlos Henao in an effort to ensure we provided a good loudspeaker fit."
