DAS Audio systems selected for La Diosa de Cuba at Watsco Center

Located in Coral Gables, the Watsco Center has become one of the most prominent multipurpose venues in South Florida. Opened in 2003 and with a capacity of approximately 8,000 spectators, it has hosted major sporting events, concerts and large-scale institutional ceremonies. Its enclosed design and flexible infrastructure allow it to adapt to a wide range of shows and technical requirements.

On July 19, 2025, the Watsco Center hosted the live concert of La Diosa de Cuba, who presented her album “Joyas”. The setlist blended updated versions of Cuban classics with urban music and contemporary rhythms. On stage, the artist was accompanied by a band featuring Afro-Cuban percussion, keyboard, guitar and a team of backing vocalists.

Limitless Productions, in charge of producing the event, chose DAS Audio sound systems to deliver audio across the Watsco Center. Although the Center is fully equipped to host large-scale concerts, its status as a multipurpose venue brings a number of technical particularities that must be considered for each production. Its enclosed and versatile design, intended for everything from sporting events to musical performances and academic ceremonies, demands precise acoustic planning to optimise intelligibility and control unwanted reflections.

On this occasion, the musical proposal of La Diosa de Cuba added an extra layer of complexity: a performance that ranged from ballads to urban beats, with richly nuanced instrumental sections and high-energy vocal moments. Additionally, the Watsco Center is located in an active university area, surrounded by hotels, restaurants and residential buildings, which required special attention to sound control beyond the venue.

To meet the needs of the event, Limitless Productions deployed a configuration of DAS Audio systems. Twelve Lara systems per line array served as the main PA, reinforced by sixteen Lara-Sub subwoofers. Six Ara-P28 units were used as front fills. On the sides, four Sara-Sub subwoofers and six Event-26A systems were installed as side fills, with particular attention paid to directionality to avoid sound spill outside the venue. Finally, the artist team used four Event-210M monitors on stage.

“The Ara series uses cardioid technology, which allowed us to control the sound and prevent dispersion into external areas, respecting the acoustic conditions of such a sensitive environment like Coral Gables”, says William González, Head of Production and Marketing at Limitless Productions.
