installed to connect the 4 wireless microphones, a new CD player with FM tuner,
and guest iPod/smart phones.
The sound system replacement will be a single unit located at the scoreboard. This
unit will have the ability to direct sound to the stands and provide a better
experience to the fans who currently sit under the speakers. The system will also
reduce the amount of spillage outside the stadium from the current multiple
speaker system. The system will also have electronic limit controls that can be
preset and locked in. The sound system will have the ability to be patched into a
sound board from a performer reducing the cost of bringing in additional sound
equipment for events. The current sound system components outside of the
speakers will be evaluated and if it has value possibly be sold. All other
components will be recycled.
The systems come with a five year parts and onsite labor warranty. Scoreboard
Enterprises have installed systems throughout New England for over 40 years.
There systems are in facilities such as Boston College, Trinity College, UMass
Lowell, Bryant University, and Fairfield University. The Nashua Silver Knights
have prepaid their lease for the 2017 and 2018 seasons ($56,000) to show their
commitment to the City. Their lease payments go into the fund that is funding this
purchase. The current balance of the fund as of November 15, 2016 is
$277,875.00. These system improvements are going to provide the visitors to the
stadium with an enhanced professional community experience in this treasured
facility. The Superintendent and the Nashua Silver Knights ownership both
recommend this purchase.
