Founded in 1959, Randolph High School in Huntsville, Alabama, stands as a distinguished educational facility, providing a vibrant and inclusive learning environment. The commitment to nurturing well-rounded individuals is deeply ingrained, as students are not merely encouraged to excel in the classroom. They are also urged to adopt a comprehensive to their athletics program.

Central to this commitment is the school’s state-of-the-art football field, a dynamic arena where the spirit of competition and sportsmanship thrives. Recognizing the pivotal role of engaged audiences at sporting events, Randolph School places special importance on creating a captivating and immersive experience for students, families and the community at large.

However, the school recently encountered a challenge with its aging football field sound system and turned to Verta Technologies, a trusted collaborator from a previous gymnasium project, to provide a comprehensive solution. Tasked once again with designing and implementing an advanced audio system to meet the school’s standards, Verta needed superior sound quality and coverage and relied on Symetrix to be at the forefront of the solution.

To tackle these specific challenges, the Verta team curated a system featuring the Symetrix Prism 8×8 for robust DSP and control, the Symetrix ARC3 wall controller for seamless system management and Shure ULXD wireless receivers and transmitters for dependable audio transmission of clear vocals. This ensured that the installation not only addressed the immediate need for system replacement but also future-proofed the school’s audio capabilities.
