San Diego State University’s new Snapdragon Stadium equipped with EAW AC6 loudspeakers

San Diego State University recently completed its new 35,000-seat college football venue, Snapdragon Stadium. Audio and video design firm WJHW called on Clair Global Integration to install a wide range of future-proofed products. Most notably, the stadium now features over 100 AC6 Adaptive Column Loudspeakers from Eastern Acoustic Works (EAW).

“EAW supported the design team during the various phases of the project including early demonstrations, proof of concept and modeling for the AC6 loudspeakers, and exporting data for consultants’ integration into the full system design”, says Mark Graham, Associate Principal, WJHW. “The brand also remained involved throughout the construction process with onsite pretesting, as well as being an integral member of the commissioning and testing team during tuning and calibration of the installed system.”

“The Adaptive technology of the AC6 loudspeakers allowed us to select mounting locations that better integrated into the stadiums’ architectural and structural elements while maintaining the output levels and coverage patterns needed at the spectator seating,” adds Graham.

In addition to the AC6 Adaptive system, various other EAW speakers including the MK8196, CIS300, CIS400, LS832i, JF80z, MKD864, MK2366i, QX300 and QX500 were installed. “Apart from the ceiling speakers, all of these loudspeakers are offered in custom colors, allowing us to match adjacent architectural finishes for an integrated aesthetic”, says Graham. The crew at EAW also worked closely with Clair Global Integration while building and installing the PA system.

In addition to San Diego Aztec football, Snapdragon Stadium will also serve as home to the National Women’s Soccer League’s Wave and the San Diego Legion of Major League Rugby.
