A Customer Story: How Cove School District Transformed Its Stadium Speaker System
Background
Cove School District in the rural town of Cove, Oregon, is a small but dedicated district known for its strong academic performance and commitment to quality education. With a focus on both classroom success and meaningful student experiences, the district also prioritizes the impact of school events like football games and graduation ceremonies.
Theo Asberry serves as the district’s Director of Technology. With over a decade of experience supporting the school through a managed service provider, he was later invited to join the team full-time. One of the challenges he inherited was a pieced-together outdoor audio setup that failed to deliver consistent or professional-quality sound. A single Bluetooth speaker was set up to broadcast music and announcements at football games, and horn speakers were used during graduation ceremonies. The result was uneven sound, low volume, and a less than ideal experience.
Working with Pro Acoustics
When it came time to upgrade, Theo turned to Pro Acoustics after reviewing case studies that showed how the company had provided tailored audio solutions for schools and athletic programs across the country. The wide range of sound system designs gave him the confidence that Pro Acoustics could deliver a solution that would meet the Cove School District’s specific needs.
He partnered with Sales Engineer Jeff Palladino, who quickly understood what the district was aiming for and offered a thoughtful, straightforward recommendation. Jeff proposed Yorkville outdoor speakers due to their stronger low-end performance and proven durability in outdoor settings. The weather-resistant speakers ensured that even in bad weather, the sound remained clear and consistent across the entire field. Combined with a Bluetooth mixer amplifier, handheld vocal microphone, and desktop mic stand, the speaker system provided the clarity, coverage, and convenience the school had been missing.
Reflection
The new outdoor stadium sound system has already made a noticeable impact. Students, staff, and guests have commented on the clarity of announcements and the ability to hear music and speech from any location on the field. At graduation, the Yorkville speakers delivered rich, full-range sound voice amplification, adding greater depth and impact to each speaker’s presentation.
Theo was especially pleased with the system’s performance, especially the outstanding sound quality and the easy-to-use amplifier. The setup has exceeded expectations and enhanced both athletic and academic events throughout the school year.
From game day announcements to graduation ceremonies, Cove School District now has a dependable stadium speaker system that brings energy, clarity, and professionalism to every event. The thoughtful guidance from Pro Acoustics helped ensure that the district invested in equipment that will serve its students and community well into the future.
