"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 SMS4 surface mount loudspeakers, powered by two EAW CXA80 power amplifiers, were used to evenly cover the foyer and porch zones.
The system was set up with four operating modes selectable via the UR-2 keypads located at the audio rack and in the main room. Three volume control zones were established to allow independent level control for the foyer, porch and main room. Compact Subwoofers was used for the main room.
