As Dennis Craven of Wichita-based Vivid Pro Systems explains, the solution came in the form of Community Professional's new Entasys high-performance line array column systems. "We've worked with line columns in the past, and Community's new Entasys immediately came to mind for this application," says Craven. "The system needed to be versatile enough to handle spoken word, movie night, light praise and worship."
With two Entasys full-range units installed as the main loudspeakers, Craven says they were able to remove more than 20 ceiling speakers, only leaving a few in the rear of the hall for when the room dividers are in use. "With the Entasys, we were able to create a solid localised sound image," he observes. "It's really impressive how good the sound is, even at the rear wall, some 94ft away. There's little need for delay zones, and the localization is excellent - no listener fatigue."
