Outline
A winning streak prompted Bracknell Club to upgrade the club facilities, including a comprehensive PA for increased crowds. CGA Integration supported their home team and collaborated on a new system to cover the touchline, temporary stand and clubhouse bar.

Challenges
The pitch touchline is a large area to cover without overlap, deadspots or pitch invasion by the commentary.
Security and weatherproofing were also important and the entire project had to offer exceptional value for money to allow other improvements at the club to lift the overall standards for players and fans.

Technical
The solution called for 100V line horn system to supply a clear commentary to all areas. Frequent spacing eliminated deadspots without overdriving and mounting on rugged posts with buried cabling solved the remaining problems, with the rack discretely installed in the club bar.
The installation was complete by a permanent, weatherproof microphone input for commentary tower, improving reliability and ease of use and the entire system commissioned successfully ahead of schedule

Response
John Osborne, Club manager “CGA Integration far exceeded our expectations for this project and fully entered into the spirit of the club. It’s also the best club PA we’ve heard since getting into the subject”.
