| Calvin Christian | Yes | XLR | Plug into north speaker on home team sideline, Port 1. Easy on-field access, has independant volume control. (Rob) | ||
| Canyon Hills | |||||
| Carlsbad | Yes | XLR or Aux | -21, -6 | AV guy by the student DJ can connect to DJ or house speakers (better), or in pressbox. The XLR plug in the field by 20YL wasnt optimal. Rob used PB. | |
| Castle Park | Yes | XLR | |||
| Cathedral Catholic | Yes | XLR | Use spare top port on left wall in announcer's room (there may be a blue extension cord to plug into). Keep transmitter sensitivty down low to avoid feedback. (Rob) | ||

| El Cajon Valley | Vague recollection we may have made it work? | ||||
| El Camino | Yes | XLR | Off to side, yes | -45, -6 (might try -39, -12 | Use the "headset" XLR port under the desk - an XLR extension would be good so reciever can be at window. (Rob) |
| El Capitan | Yes | XLR or Aux | No | -60, NA | For special game, they used both ports, so I used a mixer (Rob). Previously had issues with it being too quiet. Lots of feedback, espeically near scoreboard |
| Escondido | Yes | XLR | -21, -24 | Spare port - easy plug in and go (Rob) | |
| Fallbrook | Yes | XLR | -30, NA | ||
| Foothills Christian | Yes | XLR | Yes | At Jr. Seau. They have a nice set up. They have a mixing board and I plugged into channel 3. (Matt) | |
| Francis Parker | |||||
| Granite Hills | Yes | XLR | Pressbox or soundboard on field. Granite purchased a system with headpiece for officials without their own system (Ted) | ||
| Grossmont | 2022 - Pressbox presently condemmed, not sure of audio situation (Rob) | ||||
| Helix | Yes | XLR | Plug into port 1 left of announcer. May get a bit of static if transmitter is on far side of body from PB. (Rob) | ||
| Hilltop | Yes | XLR | Plug into mic 2. There is a circular volume adjustment. Great set up | ||
| Hoover | Yes | XLR | In Pressbox | -30, -24 | On the field, about the 40 yard line (away from clock) - worked great (pressbox can also adjust output volume). Also can use pressbox behind black cabinent |
| Horizon Prep | Maybe? | XLR | Had an announcer on sideline, so might work (didn't get a chance to ask) | ||
| Julian | Yes | XLR | Lots of open spots on their board, works great. | ||
| Kearny | Yes | XLR | -42/+6 | XLR jack at end of pressbox nearer parking lot. A bit of struggles, but overall worked fairly well (Rob) | |
| La Costa Canyon | Yes | XLR | |||
| La Jolla | Yes | XLR | Port 2 worked well once they turned the volume up - took a bit balancing announcer and us (Rob) | ||
| La Jolla Country Day | Yes | XLR | |||
| Lincoln | Yes | XLR | |||
| Madison | yes | XLR | Best if you have a 5 pin XLR adapter. If not you will need to unplug the school's field mic in the back room. It's a pain in the butt. | ||
| Mar Vista | Probably | Used to mic up officials there, so should support, but not tested with our new systems | |||
| Maranatha Christian | Yes | XLR | Worked well (Rob) | ||
| Mater Dei | Yes | XLR | If DJ is present, use that system vs the press box | ||
| Mira Mesa | Yes | XLR | Plug near the announcer mic | ||
| Mission Bay | Yes | XLR | |||
| Mission Hills | Yes | XLR | Audio board on back wall. Use port 2 and the AD knows how to setup. Volume should be set now. The outlet at the scorers table doesnt work. (Ted) | ||
| Monte Vista | Yes | Sound guy spent a while, but after digging through board found a good place. | |||
| Montgomery | Maybe | Had a nice board, but had channel issues (likely operator error - will try again next time) (Rob) | |||
| Morse | |||||
| Mt. Carmel | |||||
| Mt. Miguel | Yes | Mt. Miguel is set up to plug in to the press box or an outlet at the bottom of the bleachers 50-yard line. They also have a mic system that works and Referees can use the Mt. Miguel system as well. | |||
| Mountain Empire | Yes | XLR | Good - pressbox inside can't hear and may talk over you, but good for fans (Rob) | ||
| Ocean View Christian | |||||
| Oceanside | No | AD wont allow it since the "stadium doesnt have the capability" | |||
| O'Ferrell | Yes | XLR | |||
| Olympian | Yes | XLR | School provided an XLR extension otherwise receiver wont be in window and doesnt work | ||
| Orange Glen | Yes | XLR | Use third port (CD player) on back of sound board (Rob) | ||
| Otay Ranch | Yes | Aux | None of the 5 XLR ports worked. Use the existing AUX cable in the audio box to connect receiver. We needed to increase the gain to full volume. | ||
| Patrick Henry | Yes | XLR | School supplies a microphone | ||
| Pt. Loma | No | No set up for this yet. | |||
| Poway | Yes | N/A | School has an Audio Teca Mic for the Referee. They will not allow you to plug anything into their system. | ||
| Ramona | Yes | XLR | We were able to connect in the press box. No interference in Ramona! | ||
| Rancho Bernardo | Yes | XLR | |||
| RBV | Yes | XLR | Need splitter if you use pressbox. I used the DJ instead. | ||
| St. Augustine | Yes | XLR | AT Mesa College. Saints now provides a mic if you want to use theirs and the DJ will provide. Either way you will use the DJ and hook up into his system. Dont use PB. | ||
| St. Joseph | Depends on site | Use various schools or park | |||
| San Diego | Yes | XLR | Use the third XLR. #2 has a lot of feedback (Matt) | ||
| SD Jewish Academy | Probably? | Sideline speakers are used, give it a try if you're going there (assumed they had nothing, so didn't take) | |||
| San Marcos | Yes | Aux | Use audio board on back wall. Next to the "Ipod holder" | ||
| San Pasqual | Yes | XLR | Port next to scoreboard consule worked well. There is a field level port, but couldn't get it to work. | ||
| San Pasqual Academy | |||||
| San Ysidro | |||||
| Santa Fe Christian | |||||
| Santana | Maybe with Mixer | Only one XLR input - need to try with an active (powered) mixer (passive splitter cable won't work) (Rob) | |||
| Scripps Ranch | Yes | XLR | The school has a Shure wireless system set and they use it for events and football games. The system is in the press box. If you use your own system, search for a clear network as I didn't and got a lot of screeching and feedback. | ||
| Southwest | |||||
| Steele Canyon | Yes | Need splitter | |||
| Sweetwater | |||||
| The Rock | |||||
| Torrey Pines | Yes | Matt got to work by scanning new channel, previous people had issues with interference | |||
| Tri-City Christian | Porbably | Didn't think they'd have a sound system, but they seemed to have a decent one, just didn't have mic to try. | |||
| University City | Yes | Aux (w/Splitter) | Aux port in wall, need splitter to share with music. Set AF output to near (or at) max to get enough volume. (Rob) | ||
| Valhalla | Yes | Aux (w/Splitter) or XLR (w/mixer) | Need to get transmitter sensitivty low and receiver output up to max to get enough volume. Need spliter if they are using a cell phone for music. (Rob) | ||
| Valley Center | Yes | XLR | Worked well (spare port), had to turn sensitivy down on transmitter to reduce feedback, especially near VC team bench (Rob) | ||
| Victory Christian | Not Yet | Maybe next they said | |||
| Vista | Yes | XLR | Input in middle room (next to announcer room) with seperate volume dial next to port, easy to work with | ||
| Warner | |||||
| West Hills | Yes | XLR | |||
| Westview | Yes | XLR | Needs to be plugged into the soundboard (normally locked). May be poor quality. |
