Sound System Components

Control Enclosure
A thermostatically controlled and NEMA3R control enclosure
(
) houses the amplifiers. In sound systems, the amplifier
is the last component before the drivers. It receives a signal
from the source equipment and amplifies it to power the
drivers. The Sportsound 500HD sound system utilizes 1 or 2
power amplifiers (depending on the cabinet model) with built-
in Digital Signal Processor (DSP), which manages equalization,
limiting, compression, and crossover functions.
The DSP program is set at the factory and is not user-
adjustable.
Refer to
Mounting the Control Enclosure (p�7)
for more information about the
control enclosure.
Fiber Conversion Box
Note:
A fiber conversion box is not always provided. In
those systems, analog signal goes directly to the
audio cabinet.
The fiber conversion box (
) converts the analog
audio signal from the audio control rack into fiber optic
signal that goes out to the control enclosure. The box
is typically permanently wall-mounted near the source
equipment location.
The fiber conversion box includes an analog backup signal.
This provides a redundant safety, in case the fiber link to
the sound cabinet is lost. To go into analog backup mode,
simply turn the switch to the
ANALOG
position.

for more information about the fiber
conversion box.
Audio Control Rack
The Sportsound 500HD audio system is compatible with all Daktronics standard control
racks. Refer to the manual provided with the control rack for proper operation.
Signal Cables
Cable specifications are as follows:
•
Minimum 2-core, multimode 50-micron fiber optic cable from fiber conversion box
to control enclosure. If included with a Daktronics scoreboard or display, the sound
system may share a fiber optic cable run, requiring additional cores.
•
1 pair, 22 AWG audio cable from fiber conversion box to control enclosure for analog
backup (part # W-1615)
• 50' (15.2 m) speaker cable (located inside audio cabinet) that routes to the control
enclosure (part # W-2317)
