ANTHONY JAMES PARTNERS DELIVERING CUTTING-EDGE AUDIO SYSTEMS
FOR STADIUMS AND ARENAS ACROSS NORTH AMERICA
Award-winning Sound System Design for FedEx Field, Crypto.com Arena, Prudential Center, Clemson Memorial Stadium, MSU Spartan Stadium, Rutgers SHI Stadium, Toronto Blue Jays Rogers Centre, U of Richmond’s Robbins Stadium, and many more…
RICHMOND, VIRGINIA, June 2023 – Anthony James Partners (AJP), industry-leading Owner’s Representative and Technology / AV Consultant is hitting its stride in the audio industry, having become the driving force behind tens of millions of dollars in new audio system design and upgrades for top venues across North America. Most recently, AJP was contracted for the design, procurement, and construction administration of a state-of-the-art distributed loudspeaker system for the Washington Commander’s FedEx Field, with the bowl audio phase closing out in time for the 2023 NFL season. Other exciting projects closing out this fall include cutting-edge arena bowl audio systems for Crypto.com Arena, Purdue University’s Mackey Arena, and Michigan State University’s Breslin Center.
AJP designs audio systems that deliver high performance and intelligibility for every type and size of venue. New Jersey’s high-profile Prudential Center is set to become one of the first fully immersive audio buildings in 2023, while Clemson’s Memorial Stadium is now sporting arguably the best sounding NCAA stadium system in Division 1. AJP is also behind Rutgers SHI Stadium’s new ground-shaking, advanced networked audio system and Michigan State University Spartan Stadium’s impressive new distributed audio system supported by all-new fiber optic cabling infrastructure. Last year, the Toronto Blue Jays received a state-of-the-art QX series PA system design that has brought fan experience to a new level. Closer to home, the University of Richmond’s new sound system has brought Robbins Stadium to life.
According to Michael Rowe, AJP’s Chief Executive Officer, AJP is embracing new technology and guiding clients to select sound systems based on performance, rather than choice of brand or manufacturer. “We’re hitting our stride in the audio industry. As early adopters of systems from newer and smaller makers, we’ve had incredible success working with manufacturers like Adamson System Engineering and Fulcrum Acoustic, both of which are behind today’s most prominent touring sound systems.”
“Trying to apply the same design in every stadium or arena is not what these facilities need,” added Jack Covert, AJP’s Director of Audio and AV Design Engineering, who noted that when approaching new projects, the industry tends to fall back on typical designs from the same manufacturers with no real depth of understanding in terms of the building and what it really needs. “AJP’s approach is really looking at the buildings for what they are, identifying the best equipment and the best integrators, and designing systems that maximize the space.” In addition to designing phenomenal systems, AJP negotiates excellent long-term service and warranty programming, and in the end saves customers millions of dollars.
Other audio projects currently underway include Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles, Marshall University’s Joan C. Edwards Stadium, Rogers Arena in Vancouver, New Jersey’s Loews Jersey Theatre, Peoria Civic Center, INTRUST Bank Arena, and more. Like with every large-scale technology project AJP is involved with, the approach will remain the same; a focus on time, attention, and a personal approach to advance to the next level.
