USA - A short drive north of Houston, Texas, Devasco International specialises in highly customised welding and metalworking solutions. It's an innovative and creative environment, but with a large staff, a 62,000sq.ft warehouse and plenty of industrial-grade machinery, it's not among the quietest. So when controller/treasurer David Scott took up the task of designing audio systems for the company's various buildings, he knew he had his work cut out for him. Scott selected a variety of loudspeakers from Community Professional to cover different functions throughout the facility.

14 RMG200A voice range horns provide a powerful paging system that covers the main warehouse, easily delivering 94dB of voice intelligibility where it's needed to overcome the din of a busy machine shop. In the company's training facility, a pair of SLS920 three-way boxes deliver music and voice performance for a wide range of corporate and training presentations.

Out on the patio and balcony lounge areas, four WET W2-2W8 two-way systems provide versatile music and paging duties, even in the face of Houston's unpredictable weather and extreme humidity. Biamp Nexia DSP controls the warehouse and lounge systems, with QSC amplification throughout.

"We selected the Community product because it met our three biggest priorities: durability, versatility and performance," says Scott. "For the warehouse, there was nothing that could match the RMG horns for sheer raw power and intelligibility. And for the outdoor areas, the WET Series is really the most weather-resistant speaker I've ever seen. The major league ballparks in the northeast use them, and if they can stand up to those winters, they can handle our Houston humidity."
