UK - Wigwam Sales has completed the installation of an L-Acoustics ARCS system at the Abundant Life Church in Bradford. The system comprises of 2 x 6 flown arrays of ARCS, with each hang delivering 135° coverage in the horizontal plane with 40° down and 20° up in the vertical domain. Each single ARCS cabinet is 22.5° horizontal by 60° vertical due to the asymmetrical Wavefront Sculpture Technology (WST) waveguide. The inverted arrays are complemented by two SB218 subwoofers per side, and the system is powered by a combination of both LA24a and LA48a amplifiers.

Mike Spratt, managing director of Wigwam Acoustics, comments: "The 1,500-capacity church is very wide and also has a long balcony at the back and down both sides, so it was important to be able to cover the entire auditorium from a L/R system without having to use standard delays and fills. The ARCS is the perfect solution and the coverage achieved is excellent. Apart from the superb sound quality and the tightly controlled coverage pattern, the hangs are physically small, unobtrusive, and certainly very elegant." He adds: "The new system has given the church musicians an opportunity to shine as never before, and the audience really appreciates the higher level of musicianship and clarity."

Paul Nicholson, L- Acoustics UK sales manager, said: "This is a benchmark not only for church installations but for all medium-sized UK venues. The ARCS is the perfect audio solution in so many ways: powerful, precise, simple to rig, easy on the eye architecturally, and economic. In fact, ARCS shares all the benefits of WST criteria, in common with the V-Dosc and dV-Dosc systems, and in a fixed modular package it's the only product available in the market today that can be used either vertically and horizontally guaranteeing the same sound quality results."
