AS Series Up To Task At Australia Church Whitehorse
Christian City Church Whitehorse recently opened it's new home in Vermont, Victoria, Austrialia with a new 1,000-seat auditorium has been fitted out with a new sound reinforcement system by Mozaix, a boutique AV systems integrator.
The system, designed by Paul Horwood of Mozaix with review and loudspeaker selection assistance from Graeme Stevenson of Production Audio Services, was modeled with EASE prediction software and is headlined by EAW AS Series and other loudspeaker models as well as XTA processing, Powersoft amplification and an APB Dynasonics audio mixing console.
The loudspeaker system is a flown stereo configuration, each cluster consisting of two AS460e mid/high modules either side of a single AS422e low-frequency module and an MK8196e mounted under each cluster for down fill. Six EAW Commericial VR61 stage lip loudspeakers support the flown clusters and two FR250z subwoofers take care of low frequency duties, with four MK2194e loudspeakers will be introduced for balcony delay when stage two of the project is implemented.
XTA DP6i digital loudspeaker processors take care of crossover, alignment, equalisation and limiting duties for the system. The DP6i's feed signals into a combination of Powersoft 7000, Q4004 and LQ2804 amplifiers. The use of Powersoft amplifiers for this project has meant power consumption and heat are significantly reduced due to the Class-D amplifier design and equipment racking space has been significantly reduced over conventional amplifiers.
This project has been a pleasure to be involved in, from early discussions with the church and production audio Services to the final fit out" states Paul Horwood, adding "Comprehensive meetings with the church meant we could balance all the pressures of performance, budget and construction to deliver an outcome that has exceeded the church 's expectation. We're all pretty pumped."
With stage one of the main auditorium now completed, implementation of stage two, audio to the balcony seating is in progress.
