Community Chosen by Scotaudio for Raploch Campus Special Needs



Stirling-based professional sound and lighting specialist, Scotaudio,

selected Community I/O8 loudspeakers for the new Hydrotherapy Pool

installation at Raploch Campus, Stirling. The pool is designed for children

with special needs, and comprises innovative interactive lighting which can

be controlled via floating radio switches. The install presented some unique

challenges in terms of controlling both sound and lighting within an IP

rated environment.



Scotaudio Technical Director, Andy Greig, commented, 'We needed loudspeakers

that were aesthetically pleasing and could cope with the high humidity

environment whilst delivering a solid and accurate reproduction in an

acoustically live room - the Community I/O8 was a perfect choice. For some

of the children who will use this facility, sound is one of the main senses

they use to explore their environment, and we needed the best quality

available.'



The lighting system wouldn't look out of place in a disco, but has been

optimised with specially constructed software routines to stimulate action

and reaction within the pool. A range of other sensory rooms were also

equipped with Community CLOUD ceiling loudspeakers, together with everything

from bubble tubes to a heated musical waterbed!
