ALBANY, Georgia — The city of Albany, Georgia, has given a nod to its best-known native son with the opening of a park in his honor. Ray Charles Plaza includes a fountain featuring a life-sized revolving, lighted bronze sculpture of the famed musician seated at a grand piano. The sculpture, commissioned by acclaimed artist Andy Davis, is the centerpiece of a five-acre park featuring piano-key studded sidewalks and loudspeakers playing the master's music.The sound system, designed by Atlanta-based Lee Sound Design, features a series of Community WET loudspeakers.
The sound system includes eleven WET-218T two-way systems and four WET-112 subwoofers and is powered by Crown CTS-Series amplifiers with Biamp Nexia DSP.
"This monument was designed to be a tribute to Ray that would last a lifetime, and the Community WET Series loudspeakers were the logical choice," said Lee Sound Principal Consultant D. Wayne Lee. "The WET Series delivers great sound, and are built to withstand exposure to the elements. There's no better choice, especially for a monument that's surrounded by a flowing fountain."
