Nashville, Tennessee – When the New Orleans Saints’ newest tailgating epicenter, Champions Square, decided to outfit their 60,000 square foot plaza with a sound system, they chose products from One Systems, a leading manufacturer of direct weather loudspeakers.

One Systems’ patented Equivalent Throat horn/driver technology and high-output Inside/Only woofers made the choice easy for Solomon Group partner Stephen Fink. “There was a need to incorporate different voice settings depending on usage. more
