FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Northside Christian Church Selects EAW Loudspeakers and Subs for New Sound SystemChurch installs EAW AX and MK Series products in new worship facility
Whitinsville, MA, USA – May 1, 2009 – Northside Christian Church (www.northsidechristian.com) of Spring, Texas, recently installed a new sound system featuring loudspeakers and subwoofers from EAW (www.eaw.com), a world leader in audio system technology. The installation was completed in March 2009, with final system commissioning on March 28, as part of the development of the church’s new worship facility.
Vance Breshears and Kelly Dunlop of El Cajon, California-based Sound Technology Consultants (www.sound-technology.com) were the A/V and lighting design consultants for the project, and the A/V installation contractor was David Hairel and a team from Hairel Enterprises (www.hesound.com) of Conroe, Texas. The church’s team included music director Jeremi Carnes and mix engineer Jose Barni. Other key individuals included Bruce Green from Irvine, California-based Visioneering Studios (www.visioneeringstudios.com), who served as design architect for the new facility, and Kirk Guillory from Columbia, Maryland-based Waldon Studio (www.waldonstudio.com), who was the project architect.
EAW products selected for the system included AX364 Arrayable Install Loudspeakers, MK8196 Two-Way Full Range Installation Loudspeakers and AX122 High Output Subwoofers. The system is configured in a multi-channel LCR array, where all three primary sources and their delay elements provide coverage to all seating areas. Vance Breshears explained the choice of speakers, stating, “The AX products provide a good blend of pattern control, output and sound quality at a very reasonable cost. The MK8196 units were used for downfill and delay speakers. With the asymmetrical layout of the room, it took a combination of primary coverage, delay and fill speakers to get coverage to all seating areas.”
Jeremi Carnes stated, “The new system and EAW speakers really enhance our worship experience. Sound Technology Consultants and Hairel Enterprises have done a fantastic job in both design and installation. We so appreciate and have benefited from their attention to detail.”

About These EAW Products
The AX364 Arrayable Install Loudspeaker has a horn pattern of 60° x 45°. All AX enclosures, including the companion AX122 subwoofer, have an identically sized, dual trapezoidal shape. The MF/HF transducer loads into a large, common horn via a modified version of the EAW's patented Radial Phase Plug. A unique HF waveguide is integrated within the center of the phase plug. It is acoustically transparent to the MF energy while being acoustically opaque to and acting as a waveguide for the HF energy. The MK8196 Two-Way Full Range Installation Loudspeaker is a 2-way, high output, trapezoidal loudspeaker designed as nearfield P.A. for smaller venues, including houses of worship, auditoriums/theaters, A/V systems, hotel ballrooms and meeting rooms. Its speech projection capabilities also make it ideal for distributed or fill purposes in larger venues, including houses of worship, auditorium/theaters, arenas, stadiums, nightclubs and themed-entertainment complexes. The AX122 High Output Subwoofer is the companion subwoofer for AX Series loudspeakers. This compact unit features advanced, high power drivers producing an exceptional amount of output. While the operating range is specified to 128 Hz when used with full-range AX products, the AX122 is capable of extended response to serve as an LF subsystem for MF/HF loudspeakers. Drivers are mounted in a “clam shell” driver arrangement for tighter driver coupling to increase output and improve impact. A massive port radiates the considerable energy needed at the enclosure’s tuning frequency.
