USA - Miami's Drummer Boy Sound, 99 JAMZ WEDR, Powerade, and the City of Miami Gardens recently teamed up to sponsor and host the national touring Hoop It Up 3 on basketball challenge at Calder Race track in Miami Gardens, Florida. DBS deployed their portable Dynacord Cobra line array system for the event, with additional equipment from Electro-Voice, Midas, and Klark Teknik.

The event included a host of local and national R&B and Hip Hop artists, including Ray Lavender, ACE with DJ Khaled, and Urban Mystic, to name a few. The event was hosted by radio personality Mike B (99 Jamz WEDR) and DBS' VP of marketing and development, Tangela Cummings, AKA 'Lady DBS'. The banging bass and sounds were spun by Miami DJ's, DJ Ice and DJ Greo from WEDR 99 Jamz.

"It's a good thing when the only complaint you get for a two day event is that your system is too loud," says Harold Cummings, CEO of DBS. "But it's easy to turn down; what's important aside from the tons of headroom we're packing is that the system gives incredible presence, intelligibility, and punch at all SPLs. Whatever the client needs, we can deliver with finesse and complete control."

WEDR radio station manager Linsey heard the Dynacord system at a concert for the City of Miami Gardens in January. "He loved the fact that we were able to cover large areas with a compact system that sounded amazing," adds Cummings. "That experience forged a relationship between DBS and WEDR 99.1."
