A new sound reinforcement system for the historic Scottish Rite Temple, a performing arts center in Bloomington, Illinois, was designed by JaffeHolden and includes EAW AX Series three-way installation loudspeakers.

Wisconsin-based Professional Audio Designs provided expert system installation, positioning the AX Series loudspeaker arrays in a left-center-right configuration around the stage proscenium where they provide the vast majority of coverage to the multi-level, 1,320-seat venue. They're joined by EAW SB180 and SB250z subwoofers as well as six SL 12Se-JHA frontfill loudspeakers. Further, the stage monitoring system, designed by Technical Director Rodney Stickrod, features a wide range of EAW components, including four SM200iH, and two SM84N stage wedges, two SB850z subwoofers, an SB330z sub, and two JFX260i for sidefill.

The project is subject of an in-depth profile in Stage Directions magazine. Check it out here. (Photo courtesy of JaffeHolden.)
