FACILITY DESIGN GUIDE
OS12CX Compact Loudspeaker
BASKETBALL COURT
Design Overview:
A very common Basketball court design utilizes distributed speakers. Six to
cover the bleachers and two to cover the court. Here are a few examples of
different product solutions.
Option 1 – (8) OS12CX – (2) DNA5K4c shown above
The most economical solution with great clarity and wide coverage. Add a
THmini15 hung above the center court to supplement lower frequency
information.
Option 2 – (8) OS12CX or OS80 – (2) DNA5K4c
Provides more output and tighter pattern control than Option 1 when needed.
Add (2) TH118 hung above the center court to supplement lower frequency
information.
Option 3 – (8) SH69 – (2) DNA10K4 Pro
This option is used in larger facilities. It increases output levels and adds
the benefit of lower frequency pattern control offered in option 2. Add (2)
TH118 hung above the center court to supplement lower frequency information.
Option 4 – (8) SH96 or SH96HO – (2 or 3) DNA20K4 Pro
This option is also used in larger facilities but with even more output than
option 3. Add (1) BC415 hung above the center court to supplement lower
frequency information.
BASEBALL FIELD
Design Overview:
There are many different approaches to these field designs. Designs will vary
based on the location of power, press box (if present), coverage, voice/music
requirements, and SPL levels needed.
Option 1 – (3) Go2 8CX – (1) OS80 or OS12CX – (1) DNA5K4c
This common setup utilizes (1) OS product, mounted on top of the press box to
cover the field. (3) Go2 8CX are mounted under the press box eaves to cover
the center, left, and right side bleacher sections. Add an OS115 or THmini15AT
for additional low-end.
Option 2 – (2) OS80 – (1) DNA5K4c
When neither power nor a press box is available near home plate, (2) OS80 are
mounted high on poles behind left/right fields, aimed to cover the field and
bleachers.
Option 3 – (1) OS12CX – (1) DNA5K4c This option is used in small fields
where lower output is needed. Typically (1) OS100 is mounted on a pole behind
the center field
facing in, towards home plate, or off of the press box.
Option 4 (shown above) – (3) OS80 – (1) DNA5K4c
When higher SPL is required, (3) OS80 are mounted on the press box to cover L,
R, and Center. An OS115,
TH118AT or THmini15AT is recommended for low-frequency extension.
HOCKEY ARENA
Design Overview:
A very common hockey rink design utilizes an exploded central cluster. (6)
OS80 to cover the seating/ viewing areas and ice surface. Another common
design places a row of loudspeakers over the glass and others covering the ice
in a distributed manner. This design is best utilized when there is seating on
only one side. A fully distributed system is yet another common approach.
Option 1 – ( 6) OS80 – (1) DNA10K4 Pro
The exploded central cluster approach offers a centralized point of source.
Add (2) TH118 hung above center ice to supplement lower frequency information.
Option 2 (shown above) (6) OS12CX or Go2 8CX (seating) & (6) OS12CX or
Go2 8CX (ice surface) – (2) DNA5K4c
Provides a distributed style system with a row of speakers above the glass.
Add a THMini15 or OS115 to supplement lower frequency information.
Option 3 – OS12CX or Go2 8CX – (1) DNA5K4c This option is used in
facilities with a lower ceiling and easy access to evenly mount a fully
distributed system. Evenly spaced loudspeakers located close to the audience
can operate at lower levels, and provide uniform coverage while keeping the
overall room reverberation at a minimum.

FOOTBALL FIELD
Design Overview:
Football field designs run the gamut from small high school fields with a
minimum budget to the Pro League facilities usually requiring much higher
performance. Both single-source (Scoreboard) and distributed systems are
commonly used.
Option 1 (shown above) – (3) OS80/OS12CX – (1)
DNA5K4c
This popular High School set-up utilizes (3) OS products mounted on top of the
press box to cover center, left, and right side bleacher sections. The center
speaker is aimed to cover the visitor’s side as well as the home’s central
seating area. Additional OS115 or TH118AT subs can be added to help reinforce
low-end frequency response.
Option 2 (shown above) – (2) SH62AT or (2) J3-62 – (1 or 2) DNA20K4 Pro
Two SH62AT placed at the scoreboard evenly cover both the home and away
seating areas with full-range audio. Both will also cover the playing field.
Upgrade to a pair of J3-64 to increase SPL levels. Add a BC series subwoofer
to maximize low-end performance.
Option 3 (shown above) – (1) J1-94AT – (1) DNA20K4 Pro
A single J1-94AT placed at the scoreboard can deliver high output and even
coverage on both the field and seating areas. A variety of J Series products
are available to extend coverage, frequency response, and SPL levels to
whatever size venue is required.
Danley dominates the share of 100,000+ seat facilities in the USA because of performance, intelligibility, and value!
FITNESS ROOM
Design Overview:
These rooms vary in size and volume requirements but typically need sound
spread evenly around all the weight equipment and exercise areas as background
music. In some instances, however, having more of a typical PA system is
useful when an instructor is involved, facing a group of participants such as
in Yoga, Zumba, Aerobics, and Spinning rooms.
Option 1 – (4) Go2 8CX – (1) DNA5K4c
Where background music is needed, Go2 8CX speakers can be used to each cover a
20-30 square foot radius. In the example shown above, (1) Go2 8CX is mounted
in each of the room corners aimed towards the center of the room. In larger
and or longer rooms, the speakers could be mounted on the walls and spread out
for even coverage. Even though the Go2 8CX has a great low-frequency response,
additional subwoofers like the THmini, THmini15, etc. can be used to enhance
the low-end frequencies.
SPINNING ROOM
Option 2 – (2) Go2 8CX – (1) DNA5K4c
Where trainers are involved in leading a class, the sound is typically
projected from front to back of the space. One or two Go2 8CX speakers would
be mounted left and right (or center if one) on the front wall facing the
class. In larger, deeper, or wider rooms, additional Go2s could be used to
cover the additional area requirements. Even though the Go2 8CX has a great
low-frequency response, additional subwoofers like the THmini, THmini15, etc.
can be used to enhance the low-end frequencies.
