Quick Answer
Electro-Mech's Mississippi sales and shipping record holds 543 records across 120 cities and towns, from 1999 to 2025. Baseball leads by sport, with 252 records against 150 for basketball. The most-shipped model is different. The indoor LX2350, a Basketball / Multi-Sport scoreboard, leads at 59 records, ahead of the LX2655 and LX1050. Match each venue to that model's own spec sheet.
Key Points
- Electro-Mech's Mississippi sales and shipping record holds 543 records across 120 cities and towns from 1999 to 2025, with baseball leading at 252 records against 150 for basketball.
- By model, the record's leader is the indoor LX2350 at 59 records, which its spec sheet describes as a 9 ft by 3 ft, 89 lb Basketball / Multi-Sport scoreboard.
- Our LX2655 spec sheet lists the base model at 1.5 amps and the LX2655-ETN, with Electronic Team Names, at 2.2 amps, so the variant on the order sets the figure.
The short version sits above. The reasoning behind it matters more than any single count. A rule change can ask a gym to display more than its scoreboard was ordered to show, from the per-quarter bonus to a pair of shot clocks. I follow that gap through every section, because reading the record well means reading the spec sheets beside it.
Here is what the article covers, in order:
- What the LX2350 and LX2655 show indoors, taken from each model's own spec sheet.
- How the outdoor LX1050 and LX1030 differ, and where the LX3050 Play Clock Set, sold in pairs, sits in the record.
- Which current high school basketball rules touch an indoor scoreboard: the per-quarter bonus and the shot clock that each state association chooses whether to adopt.
- What our Mississippi sales and shipping record can tell a buyer, and the questions it leaves open, such as where a scoreboard went or whether it still stands.
I wrote this for athletic directors, coaches and facilities managers who need to match a gym or field to a model. Every scoreboard figure comes from that model's own spec sheet or from the record itself. Where the record is silent, I say so.
Mississippi schools that want to know which scoreboards their peers ordered will find a firmer answer in a shipping record than in a catalog. I built this article on our own sales and shipping record for the state, which the Mississippi state page on electro-mech.com lists city by city, and on the published spec sheets for the models that lead it.
Three models carry the title. The LX2350 and LX2655 are indoor scoreboards built for basketball, and the LX1050 is an outdoor Baseball / Softball scoreboard. Baseball leads the state's record by sport. Basketball comes second, football sits close behind it, and the LX3050 Play Clock Set and the LX1030 round out the five most-shipped models.
The record shows what shipped and when. Three facts about your own venue settle more than that record can: indoor or outdoor, which sports share the space, and whether you want Electronic Team Names. My aim is practical: help an athletic director match a gym or a field to the right model, and the right variant, before asking for a quote.
Why do gym scoreboards matter to Mississippi schools right now?
Indoor scoreboards matter now because NFHS basketball rules changed how the bonus is earned, and the two most-shipped models in our Mississippi record, the LX2350 and LX2655, are both indoor basketball scoreboards.
Before comparing models, settle three questions about the gym itself:
- Which sports share the floor: basketball alone, or volleyball and wrestling as well.
- Which indicators players and officials need to read, starting with Bonus and Possession.
- How much wall space the cabinet can occupy, which differs from one model to the next.
The audience for those questions is large. According to the NCES Digest State Dashboard, Mississippi had 1,038 public schools in 2022 and 250 private schools in 2021.
The rule that changed most is foul administration. Since the 2023-24 season, NFHS Rule 4-8-1 awards two free throws for all common fouls once the opponent commits five fouls in a quarter, and team fouls reset at the end of each quarter. The one-and-one is gone. The bonus now turns over every quarter.
The LX2655 spec sheet puts the Bonus and Possession indicators at 3 inches tall and lists Double Bonus Indicators as optional equipment. In practice, the bonus is a fact players and officials read from the scoreboard, not from the scorer's table. A clear indicator saves an argument.
Readers comparing indoor layouts can browse the Electro-Mech basketball scoreboards range before narrowing to the LX2350 or LX2655.
Who decides whether a Mississippi gym runs a shot clock?
Each state association decides whether to adopt the shot clock under the national high school rules, so a Mississippi gym takes its cue from its state association, not from a national mandate.
The option did not appear overnight. Before the national approval in 2021, 10 states already allowed a shot clock, either on an approved experimental basis or outside the national rules framework. For schools that belong to the Mississippi High School Activities Association, that association makes the call. I would read the association's own published guidance before planning a gym project around the clock.
The question matters most for the LX2350 and the LX2655, the two indoor basketball models that lead our review of the Mississippi sales and shipping record. Where a gym does adopt the clock, the normal next step is a pair of shot clocks matched to that gym.
one record = one organization + one model + one city
spelling "2350" counts as LX2350
spelling "2350-C" counts as LX2350
spelling "LX2350" counts as LX2350I read every count in this article through that rule. Three spellings fold into one model. Each record shows what was sold and shipped, not what stands today. The counts come from a snapshot taken on 2026-09-14.
Why doesn't the most-shipped model match the biggest sport in Mississippi?
Baseball leads the Mississippi record with 252 records, yet the most-shipped model is the indoor LX2350 at 59, so the sport totals and the model totals tell different stories.
Our review of the Mississippi sales and shipping record covers 543 records across 120 cities and towns, running from 1999 to 2025, and places Mississippi #12 of 50 states by units shipped. By sport, the record gives baseball 252, basketball 150, football 125, soccer 12, softball 3 and hockey 1. By model, it counts 73 distinct models, and each count gathers a model's variants under its LX equivalent, so 2350, 2350-C and LX2350 count as one model.
| Most-shipped model in Mississippi | Records |
|---|---|
| LX2350 | 59 |
| LX2655 | 46 |
| LX1050 | 39 |
| LX3050 Play Clock Set (sold in pairs) | 31 |
| LX1030 | 29 |
The friction sits between those two lists. The LX2350 spec sheet describes the state's top model as an indoor Basketball / Multi-Sport scoreboard at 9 ft by 3 ft and 89 lb, drawing 1.2 amps. Baseball still leads by sport. The sport totals do not name the models behind them, and the model totals do not say which sport each scoreboard served. For a baseball field, the practical step is to ask our team which models sit behind the baseball records in your own area, since neither total shows that pairing. Ask, too, for each model as recorded, suffix included, because a variant such as 2350-C counts under its LX equivalent in the totals.
Football shows the same gap from another side. The record holds 125 football records, and the only football model in the top five is the LX3050 Play Clock Set, an accessory sold in pairs rather than a scoreboard. The top five alone does not show which scoreboards stand behind the football count. The LX3050 spec sheet describes two outdoor cabinets of 42 in by 42 in and 40 lb each, with 24 in. digits in amber or red. I would start any football comparison from the model spec sheets, not from the state list.
What do Mississippi's five most-shipped scoreboards actually show?
Baseball leads our Mississippi record by sport, yet the first two names on the model list are gym boards. We read the spec sheets to see what those model numbers mean.
Start with the sport column, which every Mississippi entry in our record fills in.
Football sits close behind basketball, and everything after it is small. Now sort the same record by model. Mississippi's record holds 73 distinct models, counted by LX equivalent so that older spellings of one board count once, and the top five line up differently.
The top two are both built for a gym wall, and their spec sheets show how they differ. Our model page says the LX2350 "covers the basics needed to keep up with almost any sport," then points to its built-in Bonus and Possession indicators as the sign that it is "made for Basketball." The LX2655 is a taller cabinet. Its page calls it "our most popular model for Basketball," and its removable caption plates let a school relabel the lower half of the display for volleyball games or wrestling matches.
Third and fifth place go to two outdoor boards with the same use line, Baseball / Softball. The difference between them is size. Our LX1050 page describes that board as "as small as they come" for a permanently installed outdoor scoreboard, and adds a caution: because its captions are short, we recommend it only where the viewing distance will be less than 250 feet. The LX1030 is the larger cabinet with taller digits and captions.
| Model | Spec sheet use line | Cabinet | Digits | What sets it apart |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| LX2350 | Indoor, Basketball / Multi-Sport | 9 ft x 3 ft | 12 in Points and Period Clock, 9 in Period | Built-in Bonus and Possession indicators |
| LX2655 | Indoor, Basketball, Volleyball / Wrestling | 9 ft x 5 ft | 12 in Points and Period Clock, 9 in all other digits | Reversible captions for Volleyball or Wrestling |
| LX1050 | Outdoor, Baseball / Softball | 6 ft x 3 ft, 78 lb | 15 in, captions 4-1/2 in | Recommended under 250 feet of viewing distance |
| LX1030 | Outdoor, Baseball / Softball | 8 ft x 4 ft, 113 lb | 18 in, captions 6 in | Larger cabinet, taller digits and captions |
The fourth model on the list is not a scoreboard. The LX3050 spec sheet describes an Outdoor, Football Play Clock Set: two cabinets of 42 in by 42 in and 40 lb each, with 24 in. digits in amber or red, each mounted on a single post. Officials run the set from a wired handheld switch, and a wireless one is an option. Its 31 records sit beside the 125 football records by sport, but the record does not say which football scoreboards those play clocks ran beside.
Two cautions apply to all of these numbers. A model count is a poor stand-in for a sport count: the model list does not say which sport each board served. And each record is a board we sold and shipped to a Mississippi address. The record does not say whether it was installed, whether it is still in use, or why it was chosen.
Read side by side, the two lists answer different questions. The sport column says what Mississippi plays on our boards. The model column says which cabinets repeat most often. Neither one measures a gym wall or an outfield fence, and the spec sheet is where that match gets made.
- Start with the venue, then read the first line of the spec sheet, which states indoor or outdoor use and the sports the board is built for.
- If your gym also hosts volleyball or wrestling, ask how the LX2655's reversible captions would be used on those nights.
- For a ballfield, measure from the farthest seats to the board's location, compare it with the 250 feet our LX1050 page recommends, and ask us what viewing distance suits the LX1030.
- For a football field, remember that the LX3050 is a play clock set, not a scoreboard, and compare football scoreboards on their own spec sheets.
- Ask what the record shows for your own town before assuming a nearby board is installed or in use.
How we checked this
Every count here is ours: the Mississippi figures come from Electro-Mech's own sales and shipping record, snapshot September 14, 2026, and the model details come from our published model pages and spec sheets. We make and sell these scoreboards, so we have a commercial stake in how they are described. Model counts group the variants of one board under its LX equivalent. The record shows boards sold and shipped, and it is silent on installation, current use and the reason for purchase. Still unknown: how the 252 baseball records divide among the 73 models.

What changes when a gym with an LX2350 or LX2655 adds shot clocks?
Naming the exact scoreboard models up front turns the console question from a guess into a check that support can run against those specific models.
| Step | Before | After |
|---|---|---|
| The request | The school asks for shot clocks without naming the scoreboards already in its gym. | The school names its models, for example an LX2350 and an LX2655. |
| The console question | Nobody can say whether the existing console will drive the new clocks. | Support can check that question against those exact models. |
A pair of shot clocks is an accessory, not a scoreboard. The difference here is one line of information. I would put the model numbers in the first message to our support team.
What should a Mississippi buyer take from the LX2350 and LX1050 records?
In our Mississippi record the indoor LX2350 leads the model list while baseball leads by sport, and the LX1050 is the outdoor Baseball / Softball scoreboard in the title, so match each gym or field to its model's own documents.
Among the three models in this article's title, the LX1050 is the outdoor one. The LX1050 spec sheet describes an outdoor Baseball / Softball scoreboard at 6 ft by 3 ft and 78 lb, with 15 in. digits in amber or red, 4-1/2 in. captions and 0.8 amps at 120 VAC. Its LED display circuitry is conformal coated for outdoor use, and it ships with a simplified 15-key control console; a full-sized 37-key console with LCD display and the ScoreLink Wireless RF modem system are options. The model page recommends the LX1050 only where the viewing distance will be less than 250 feet, because its captions are short. A compact cabinet fits a compact field. Past that distance, the LX1050 is not the model its own page recommends.
The electrical side needs one more check. A base model and its -ETN variant carry separate electrical figures on separate spec sheets, the LX2655 and LX2655-ETN among them, so the variant named on the order decides which amperage applies.
For a Mississippi athletic director, I would work in three steps:
- Decide whether the scoreboard serves a gym or an outdoor field, since each spec sheet states which it is built for.
- Pull that model's own spec sheet, and the -ETN sheet where one exists, before comparing any figures.
- Ask Electro-Mech for a quote on the exact model and variant the venue needs.
| Sport | Records (count) | Title model whose spec sheet lists this sport |
|---|---|---|
| Baseball | 252 | LX1050 (outdoor, Baseball / Softball) |
| Basketball | 150 | LX2350 and LX2655 (indoor) |
| Football | 125 | None of the three lists it by name |
| Soccer | 12 | None of the three lists it by name |
| Softball | 3 | LX1050 (outdoor, Baseball / Softball) |
| Hockey | 1 | None of the three lists it by name |
What is the clearest takeaway from Mississippi's scoreboard record?
The clearest takeaway is a planning order: settle the venue first, then the sports it hosts, then the exact model and variant, and only then ask what peers ordered.
Start with one question for each space: who runs the scoreboard on game night, and from where? Then ask whether any rule your association has adopted, such as a shot clock, adds a display the gym does not have yet. A school with a ball field and a gym needs two answers, not one.
My next step for any Mississippi athletic director is short. Write down the venue, the sport and any model numbers already in place, including an -ETN suffix where one appears. Then send that list with your quote request, so the first reply can name a model and variant instead of asking more questions. Your notes tell us what your venue needs. The spec sheet tells you what your scoreboard will do.

Frequently Asked Questions
What else should Mississippi buyers know about these scoreboards?
Mississippi buyers should know how the LX2655 differs from the LX2350, what sponsor panels the LX2350 takes, which console ships with the LX2655, and who in a school buys.
How does the LX2655 differ from the LX2350?
The LX2655 is the taller of the two cabinets. The LX2655 spec sheet puts it at 9 ft by 5 ft and 133 lb, with removable caption plates that label the lower half for volleyball or wrestling. On both models the Guest Points, Home Points and Period Clock digits are 12 inches tall. The base LX2655 draws 1.5 amps, while the LX2655-ETN, the variant with Electronic Team Names, draws 2.2 amps.
Which control console ships with the LX2655?
The LX2655 spec sheet lists a full-sized 37-key control console with LCD display as standard equipment. Fifty programmable brightness levels come standard as well. For wireless control, ScoreLink Wireless RF is an option, and hardwired installations can take up to 1,000 feet of data cable.
Can the LX2350 carry sponsor panels?
Yes. The LX2350 spec sheet lists ID panels, panels with custom graphics in a variety of sizes, shapes and styles, as optional equipment mounted above or below the scoreboard. Extended configurations build ID panels into the left or right side of the cabinet. The model page adds that the uncluttered layout does not look jumbled once panels go on, and calls the LX2350 a strong choice for schools that want to offer sponsors space.
Who in a school usually handles a scoreboard purchase?
The answer varies by school, and the Mississippi record does not show who placed each order. In one school described in a 2021 thread among K-12 IT administrators, scoreboard procurement fell to the IT department, on the view that anything that plugs in belongs to IT. I would bring the IT office in early, so the order does not stall between athletics and technology.
Where does Electro-Mech sell and support scoreboards?
The company sells sport-specific and multi-sport displays, customization options, control systems and long-term support to schools, parks, colleges and sports venues across the United States. For a Mississippi gym or field, the next step is a quote request to our team.
