Here's what I have and want to do. Several times a year, our local high school baseball stadium is used for other venues, with a stage area setup out in center field, a distance of about 200' back to the press-box where the stadium's PA system is installed. In previous venues, we had two choices; 1) announce from the press-box, 2) place a system (with a generator) out near the stage and announce from there. Also during these other venues, we've used a 2nd amp and speaker--a BOSE system on the press-box roof and have sent sound and music to an adjoining field and the parking areas which works well.
Here's what I want to do: Link a small system out in center field with the system in the press-box. I have tried a Nyrius 5.8 ghz wireless audio/video sender-receiver model NY-GS3200. This seems to work--it is "line of sight" but sometimes there's "gaps" in the signal and the receiving system(s) will emit rushing noise as if the squelch was turned off. So, this brings a couple more questions:
1) is there a better solution--but not as expensive as a kings ransom--that will accomplish this? Has anyone tried using a low power FM broadcast transmitter and an FM receiver at the receiving end with any success? I would guess that selection of the right frequency would be important--and anything that would work in the daytime might not work after dark and many stations crank up their power and could cause adjacent channel distortion.
2) Is there some additional setup I should consider--should the transmitting station be raised up? I don't think that it's so low that the signal is being blocked by anything, but I'm just wondering.
3) Is there a WIRED solution I could consider? I could string a wire, using temporary posts pounded into the ground so that it wouldn't get stepped on or tripped over. But in this situation, what would you suggest? A shielded XLR cable--I would suspect it would need to be custom made for this length? And if I did this would there be enough signal to feed the line-in(s) of my secondary amps? I know that the 70v line for speakers has nearly an unlimited length--but how would I go about making the appropriate connections and conversions?
I know I've probably asked more than my share of questions here--but I can't be the only person that has this need--so your professional guidance is much appreciated!
thnx, ja
