\nThe Cincinnati Zoo<\/strong><\/a> features a world-class menagerie of animals from far and wide, including lions, monkeys, manatees, etc\u2026 1.8 million<\/strong> of annual visitors emphasize the innovative approach of Cincinnati Zoo<\/strong><\/a> in education, outreach, conservation, and giving every visitor a unique experience with wildlife that they would not have anywhere else. What the zoo lacked until recently was a reliable audio system for delivering messages throughout its sprawling campus.
\n
\nIn addition to providing pristine sounding music throughout the zoo campus, the new multi-point DEVA system<\/strong><\/a> also helps with communication and messaging challenges: \u201cWith as many guests as the zoo attracts, we recognised the need for the paging system that could clearly and effectively deliver messages throughout our space\u201d, says Dutch Mulholland, IT\/AV Director of the Cincinnati Zoo & Botanical Gardens<\/a><\/strong>. Starting with only two DEVA<\/a> units<\/strong> to see how they would work with the zoo\u2019s existing network infrastructure. The two units worked flawlessly, so the zoo went up to 50 DEVA<\/a> units,<\/strong> just in time for its major Festival of Lights<\/strong> holiday event.
\n
\nThe DEVA<\/a> Control Panel app<\/strong> is key to unlocking the unit\u2019s flexibility and remote control features. \u201cThe app is really great\u201d, says Mulholland. \u201cIn the past, we had to go to a closet where our switches and amplifiers were just to turn a zone down or mute it. With this app, not only does it allow us to customize our volumes in each zone remotely, which saves a lot of time, but it also allows us to monitor the DEVA<\/strong><\/a>\u2019s performance. We wanted to have as close to 100%<\/strong> coverage as possible with our audio messaging. This made DEVA<\/strong><\/a>\u2019s wireless capabilities a key selling point. \u201cWith our old conventional sound system for emergency paging, it was always a fight to set up wiring, and then we\u2019d deal with having squirrels chew through our cables, or even the horticulture destroying a lot of the cables that are in the ground\u201d explained Dutch Mulholland<\/strong>.
