Roberts Stadium at SMU

Roberts Stadium is the focal point on Southern Miss’ campus during football days in Hattiesburg, Miss. Home to the Southern Mississippi Golden Eagles football, the 41,000-seat capacity stadium is known to the Golden Eagle faithful as “The Rock at Southern Miss”.

A new state-of-the-art scoreboard, video replay and sound reinforcement system was installed prior to the 2007 season.

The scoreboard has three video boards, two smaller ones along the sides, along with a big board in the north end zone that is high definition. A self-powered Meyer Sound system sits atop the venue's new scoreboard tower, while dazzling images flash across a 111-foot-by-47-foot HD video screen.

Roberts Stadium at SMU Project

Roberts Stadium is another large-scale Meyer Sound sports venue systems designed and installed to date by Pro Sound, Inc., headquartered in Miami, Fla.

Pro Sound Engineer Dave Shoemaker, working in collaboration with Meyer Sound Design Services, used the MAPP Online Pro acoustical prediction program to plot uniform coverage and assure both intelligibility and music-capable bandwidth at every seat in the stadium.

The speaker cluster is comprised of twin arrays of six (6) M3D line array loudspeakers each, with full-bodied bass supplied from four (4) 700-HP subwoofers.

Two (2) pairs of SB-2 parabolic sound beams project coherent mid/high energy to the far corners, providing astonishingly clear voice articulation at a distance of over 500 feet.

An RMS remote monitoring system keeps tabs on the status of loudspeaker performance, and a Galileo loudspeaker management system provides processing functions.
