Engineered to suit the architectural nuances of its Gainesville campus, the contemporary Christian Free Chapel Church has a new sound system that includes EAW Anya ADAPTive line arrays and SB828P dual drive subwoofers. With it, the church reckons to be redefining the worship experience.
‘Our main campus presents unique challenges due to its fan-shaped layout,’ says Global Audio Director, Glenn Setchfield. ‘The decision to implement EAW’s Anya line arrays was driven by the need for superior coverage and clarity. EAW’s ADAPTive technology empowers us to precisely direct sound, expanding horizontal coverage to meet the venue shape, and minimise reflections.’
Beyond the main campus, the EAW church’s deployment extends to locations in Midtown Atlanta, Gwinnett and Braselton. Each venue benefits from tailored EAW solutions, ranging from NTX210L line arrays to RSX series speakers, optimised to maximise audio fidelity and intelligibility.
‘We’ve strategically implemented EAW equipment across all our campuses to ensure consistent audio excellence,’ Setchfield says. ‘Whether it’s a large auditorium or an intimate setting, EAW’s versatile solutions meet our diverse needs. EAW’s introduction of groundbreaking technologies, such as ADAPTive has revolutionised the way we approach audio production, enabling us to achieve unparalleled results.’
Setchfield is responsible for integrating and overseeing all audio operations, including the recent deployment of EAW, at Free Chapel Church’s multiple locations. This includes weekend services, midweek gatherings, youth and children’s programmes, and audio production for Jentezen Franklin Ministries, a non-profit organisation affiliated with the church.
‘At Free Chapel Church, we prioritise exceptional audio experiences that resonate with our congregation and, with EAW’s cutting-edge equipment, we can deliver impactful, engaging and rewarding worship services across our multiple campuses,’ Setchfield says.
‘John Mills and the great team at EAW have been instrumental partners in our audio journey,’ he adds. ‘What sets EAW apart is dedication to innovation and customer satisfaction. They are always quick to respond in addressing any technical questions we may have and their timely assistance allows us to focus on delivering impactful worship experiences.’
Setchfield’s journey with EAW began with his tenure at Hillsong Church in Australia almost a decade ago. ‘While at Hillsong, I experienced first-hand the exceptional sound quality delivered by EAW,’ he confirms. ‘Based on my positive experience combined with EAW’s reliability and versatility, I have become a big advocate for using EAW whenever possible.’
