Adequate coverage in the gymnasium required two horizontal clusters of two EAW AX boxes with a 90 x 60 degree coverage. The design of the AX series gave us the ability to tight pack the speakers for a wide coverage point source dispersion with very little reflection issues. After careful analysis of the system upon completion, we were able to get small concert quality sound in this gymnasium.

The cafeteria is being used for multiple applications, and needed to be set up with all of them in mind.

There is a small stage that is utilized for plays during the weekends, hence the Yamahas mounted left and right off of the stage. Then, they also hold school board meetings in here, and needed several desk top microphones with ducking capability. Since the table for the conferences would be in front of the Yamahas, and they needed full room coverage for other applications as well - we designed the 70 volt EAW/Tannoy ceiling speaker system. This system is very resistant to feedback, and offers a sound that you wouldn't expect from a 70 volt system.
