The N-Sid-Sen Camp and Conference Center is a 270-acre multi-use facility on the shores of Lake Coeur d’Alene in Northern Idaho. The venue offers a wide variety of settings for activities, including sports fields, a ropes course, basketball and volleyball courts and an outdoor chapel. Recently, Pat Lambert of Lambert Audio Engineering was asked to spec a P.A. system for the new Stillwater Welcome Center located at N-Sid-Sen, and he selected loudspeakers and DSP from EAW®, a world leader in audio system solutions.

“The facility does not have trained audio techs on site, so I knew it was crucial that I provide an extremely flexible and easy-to-operate system. EAW’s DX1208 DSP Matrix Mixer fit the bill perfectly,” stated Lambert. A combination of EAW VR51 Full-Range Loudspeakers and VRS12 Compact Subwoofers was used for the main room while a number of EAW SMS4 Surface Mount Loudspeakers, powered by two EAW CXA80 Power Amplifiers, were used…

The owners of The Opera, a nightclub located in Petaling Jaya, Malaysia, recently turned to EAW® for a complete sound system upgrade. Regional EAW distributor ProAktiv Systems supplied the EAW loudspeaker systems and Powersoft amplification, which is now installed in the main theater and VIP areas throughout The Opera.

The clubbing experience at The Opera is enhanced by daily “Cirque Nouveau” performances featuring acrobatic and circus troupes high above the main floor in the three-story, 10,000-square-foot theater. The main stage regularly features performances by dance, gymnastic and martial artists. In addition, the club frequently showcases recording artists, bands, DJs and video DJs.

The main audio system in the theater, which is modeled after grand European opera houses, comprises four EAW MK5396 two-way full range compact installation loudspeakers. The four-inch voice coil, 15-inch drivers are complemented by four SB1002 dual-18-inch high-output subwoofers installed at floor level. Two MK2326 compact installation loudspeakers and a pair of VRS18 subwoofers supply under-balcony fill and delay. The main EAW system is powered by a combination of Powersoft K3 and K8 amplifiers…

Every year, thousands of revelers travel from mainland Iceland to Vestmannaeyjar (Westman Islands) to celebrate the anniversary of the country’s inhabitation at the national festival Þjóðhátíð (Thjodhatid). This year, local EAW® distributor EB Sound and Lighting Systems provided and ran a flown EAW main speaker system together with an onstage EAW monitor setup.

As much a social gathering as a music and dance festival, and typically extending beyond the official three-day weekend of 24/7 activities, the event attracted a record 17,000 attendees this year to Vestmannaeyjar, more than tripling the island’s population. The festival, which opens early Friday afternoon and runs through the early hours of Monday morning, typically features entertainment of all descriptions, including such traditional events as a massive bonfire, a huge firework display and a hillside sing-along of Icelandic folk songs. This year the entertainment on the main stage at Iceland’s wildest outdoor party included Icelandic music stars such as Dikta, Haffi Haff, KK & Ellen and Bubbi Morthens.

Singapore-based ProAktiv Systems supplied and installed an EAW® speaker system with Powersoft amplification at the Elements Club and Lounge in Phnom Penh, the capital city of Cambodia.

The club area, where the music is typically a mix of hip-hop, house and funk, features a pair of EAW Avalon Series DC2 three-way loudspeakers horizontally mounted above the raised dance floor. Four SB1002 dual-18-inch subwoofers provide additional low frequency coverage down to a floor-shaking 28 Hz. Powersoft Digam LD3004, D2002 and K3 amplifiers provide the power to the club sound system. Two ultra-compact EAW UB82e loudspeakers powered by a Powersoft LD2004 amplifier ensure even coverage to the DJ and VIP areas.

Chandan Mahtani, Managing Director for ProAktiv Systems, stated, “This is the only club in Cambodia that can boast to be the best in the country. The owner did not compromise on the décor or the sound and lighting system. He had visited TAO in Vegas some years ago and wanted something similar for his club.”

 Atlanta-based New Birth Missionary Baptist Church recently renovated its $50 million, 7,500-seat sanctuary and opened a sister church in Charlotte, North Carolina. The Design team chose EAW® loudspeakers to fulfill the demand for state-of-the-art sound systems. Chief Engineer Mitch Donner and Production Manager Melvin Wood led the church’s own production team in the design and installation of the entire system with the assistance from Roy Drukenmiller of Rock “N” Road and EAW Southeastern Representative, Quest Marketing’s’ Jim Greene.

“We have had good success with EAW in many of the systems we’ve done for the church,” notes Donner. “We’ve looked at other loudspeaker options, and nothing really compares to the performance we get from the EAW speakers, especially for a building of this size.”

The P.A. system in the Atlanta arena-style location consists of three EAW KF760 Long-Throw Line Array Modules and four EAW KF761 Short Throw Line-Array Modules in a flown line array on both sides of the stage, with three KF760s and four KF761s for the center array, completing an L-C-R main P.A. system. There are sixteen EAW SB1000z Large Format Subwoofers placed eight per side. Donner chose six EAW JF80z…

EAW is pleased to announce that its DX1208 DSP Matrix Mixer now features full integration with Crestron Electronics control products, through a dedicated DX1208 module developed as part of Crestron’s Integrated Partner Program (IPP). This compatibility allows contractors and system integrators to install the DX1208 to operate seamlessly with other hardware in an open-platform Crestron systems environment. Such a system may consist of audio/video, security, HVAC, lighting and other controlled devices that may be incorporated into commercial configurations.
