FULLERTON, CA — The 800-seat Meng Concert Hall at the new Performing Arts Center at California State University, Fullerton, features a sound reinforcement system designed by Multi-Media Consulting Inc. (MMC) of Los Angeles, incorporating EAW AX Series loudspeakers and SB Series subwoofers. MMC Founding Principal Rick Wells took the lead role in the system design process for Meng Concert Hall, specifying three sets of dual EAW AX366 loudspeakers to provide coverage throughout the room.
The loudspeakers are flown in a "one above the other" configuration at selected positions above the front edge of the room's large stage, with each set joined by a single EAW SBX220 subwoofer. All loudspeaker cabinets are painted a custom color selected to blend in with the aesthetics of the space.
The AX Series is a collection of arrayable loudspeaker modules that are designed to meet the higher output demands of larger venues. All AX enclosures have an identically sized, dual trapezoidal shape that permits creating horizontally or vertically orientated arrays in a variety of beam widths, with precise horizontal and vertical pattern symmetry created to maintain the proper relationship between the polar patterns.
Criss Niemann of Audio Geer, Huntington Beach, Calif., participated in the early stages of the design, with system installation by GroggWorks Inc. of San Diego.
