Revelation, MA-based AV Event Production and Installation company, partnered with EAW to deliver a custom solution for Mechanics Hall using its ADAPTive speakers, Anna and Otto.

The University of Michigan uses Anya Loudspeakers and Otto Subwoofers to Throw Sound Over 900 feet Across “The Big House”

This multipurpose entertainment venue equipped to accommodate concerts, Broadway performances, ballets, symphonies, and a full range of sporting events turned to EAW ADAPTive throughout their facility.

The Xiamen Olympic Sports Center, located in the New City area of the Xiang’an District, was built to host large-scale international sports events. The design standards not only had to comply with Chinese national standards, but also meet international standards, such as FIFA, FIBA and other technical requirements.

Grand Canyon University needed to install a new audio system into one of its 10 new sporting venues on campus and do it in a very compressed timeframe: a single day. The university’s president himself demands high-impact audio that is clear and intelligible while also providing the gut crunching lows in order to energize sports fans.

California’s Sound Image was hired for the hot project and speci ed small high-power QX Series and and matched them with renowned SB2001 subwoofers in six clusters.

Arizona State University is doing a multi-phase upgrade of its football venue, Sun Devils Stadium. The system needed to deliver considerable sound pressure levels, and durability was a major concern because the university’s location near Phoenix is subject to major adverse weather conditions, including dust, high wind, extreme heat, and powerful rainstorms. Furthermore, the new system needed be able to repeatedly adapt to changing coverage during the stadium’s phased upgrades. The university wanted a proven, reliable solution.

Sound Image and WJHW were hired to co-design the system. They agreed on an EAW ADAPTive™ system based on Anya modular arrays to provide customized, precisely controlled, adaptable coverage. For powerful long-throw capabilities with broadband pattern control, the two firms chose EAW QX564i three-way trapezoidal enclosures.

Purpose Church in Pomona, CA had an outdated audio system. It’s 2,000 seat fan-shaped sanctuary with wraparound balcony necessitates 180° of consistent coverage at every seat. Re ective surfaces abound so the room is very reverberant, and a variety of services and programs along with two distictly di erent music groups dictate that any mix changes must happen instantly.

Enter Anna. 24 of them in a LCR configuration for the wide format sanctuary. Coverages required are full room, main seating only, without the balcony seating, or even small intimate performances. Presets for all were assigned and changes occur with just a few clicks. No mechanical adjustments take place – Adaptive Performance occurs through Resolution 2 software alone.

ALFC’s new 1,800 seat sanctuary features a fan-shaped room and required even coverage for sermons and music to the entire congregation, so a LCR system of ADAPTive Anna and Otto was chosen. The church offers different kinds of services and events and the system needed to be adaptable while providing uniform SPLs.

Because the system needed to be in place before construction was complete, signal routing was pre-configured, and thus, system tuning would be challenging in an incomplete room. But this is never a hurdle for Adaptive technology. Minimal final adjustments were made, and special attention was given to Otto being summed consistently throughout the room, providing even LF coverage everywhere.

The EAW ADAPTive system was specifically chosen for the ability to keep sound energy off the vaulted ceilings while maintaining a high trim height.  By adjusting the vertical coverage, the ANNA array was able to hang high enough to avoid blocking the stain glass window.
