All:
We have a  request to move a big speaker to centerfield at a baseball field.  Getting speaker wires out there is not going to happen so we're going to use Neutrik Xirium most likely to get a signal out there however we need to mount an amplifier on the light pole out there (power no problem).  Does anyone know of a manufacturer that makes a steel weather proof box that we can mount on the pole that could accommodate a 2 space rack mount amp or does anyone have any other idea that may work? Of course it has to vent somehow as well. (need screen door in the submarine)

Regards to the list

Here are a couple companies I found when doing some research for a project.

If you don't rack mount the amp but stand it up on it's side you could use a much smaller enclosure, that really only works though if your putting a minimal amount of equipment in the enclosure.

thats awesome Mike.  I don't need to rack mount it- I think I can just toss it in there more or less so maybe those companies make a smaller box. 

Thank you!

Can you just use a self-powered IP rated speaker?
I see that Xirium is IP54 rated.

Is the Xirium reshipping yet after the recall?

I don't think we have gotten ours back yet.  It has been gone awhile.

Of course it may have come back and I don't know it.

They don't tell me everything.

Look for nema4x outdoor enclosure.  We've used Hammond for several applications.

They already have the speaker.  Its currently mounted on the backstop.  They just want to move it out to the field aimed in so that the neighbors don't bitch as much.  Long story.......

Any other options besides Xirium? I only need one channel.

How much range do you need.
I know Sennheiser in ear transmitters with work with their wireless mic receivers as an audio RF link.

How is the remote amp and equipment going to be powered on and off. Is the circuit that it will power it on a separate breaker that they will try to remember to turn off when the games are over. You could use an audio sensing relay (RDL makes one) and have it close an AC power relay to turn on the amp, the receiver would have to be on the whole time though or move the AC auto powering set up back to the main building...if that's the building feeding the power to the remote amp.

For just about any amp stuck in a box it will need some form of venting.

Here's another idea, Technomad already has weather proofed amps and it looks like they have a wireless audio link option as well. It actually looks like there using a modded Hammond style cabinet.
