Working with local audiovisual event production service and technology integrator Revelation, the Whitinsville Christian School has installed an EAW ADAPTive Series sound system to serve the Worcester County, Massachusetts, school’s theatrical and musical endeavours.

Whitinsville Christian School The School had faced significant audio issues with its previous sound system, with white noise and electronic malfunctions detracting from the performances. ‘The original system was not that old, but it had a lot of issues that needed addressing,’ says Anthony D’Elia, President and Chief Steward at Revelation.

‘The school also did not want to install front fills below the stage because when the students were doing choirs, they would line up on the steps at the front of the stage and block the sound coming from the loudspeakers.’

Revelation proposed the deployment of the EAW ADAPTive Series, featuring AC6 column loudspeakers and Otto subwoofers. These were flown in stacks of two in an LCR arrangement above the stage. This innovative deployment allows precisely directed audio, ensuring sound reached the front rows without being reflected from the rear wall of the auditorium, which lacked acoustic treatment.

The installation process included a thorough evaluation of the existing rig points by a structural engineer to ensure safety and stability. Revelation also conducted extensive tuning with measurement microphones, resulting in what D’Elia describes as ‘perfection’ in sound quality.

Feedback from the Whitinsville Christian School community has been overwhelmingly positive.

‘Everything has been working exceptionally for almost a year now,’ D’Elia says. ‘The adaptability of the AC6 Loudspeakers has allowed for effective sound distribution, creating a more engaging experience for students performing live. Being able to run the system in a cardioid pattern and reject all the low-end frequency on the stage has been very helpful.’

‘The frequency range, fidelity and onboard processing were superior at the price point,’ says Byron Flagg of Whitinsville Christian School. ‘The clean and minimalist aesthetic of the speakers makes them less visually intrusive in our theatre applications. Also, the Otto Subwoofer and AC6 Column Arrays are perfectly suited for controlling energy distribution in our auditorium, which has been acoustically tuned with live orchestra and choir music in mind.’

In addition, Flagg notes the convenience of the onboard processing: ‘In a high school environment, most users are students or non-technical staff. Having critical system parameters locked inside the speakers ensures that the system remains properly tuned for as long as possible.’

The installation of the EAW ADAPTive Series sound system has set a new standard for audio excellence in the school’s auditorium, fostering creativity and enhancing the overall experience for everyone involved.
