Reimage Church, a house of worship located in Winterville, North Carolina, has unveiled its proAV upgrade project aimed at creating a contemporary worship experience, including installation of Blaze Audio Constant Curvature Array series loudspeakers, according to a press release.
High Tech Electronics, Inc., an integrator specializing in houses of worship and education, designed and deployed the system.
“The sanctuary at Reimage Church is a large, semicircular space with seating accommodations for 1,200 people,” David Williams, president at High Tech Electronics, said in a project overview shared in the release. “The edge of the stage faces directly into the arch of the room, which measures approximately 75 feet from the stage edge to the rear wall. This design can easily create considerable challenges for having consistent sounding audio throughout the entire space — particularly on the extreme left and right sides. This is precisely why loudspeakers with wide horizontal dispersion in addition to well-focused vertical throw were so important, and this was a key factor that led us to deploy the Blaze Audio CCA Series.
“The installation includes three hangs — each with three Blaze Audio CCA10i-BA-B enclosures. The center cluster faces straight out toward the rear center of the room while the left and right arrays face into the mid area of the left and right sides. All three clusters are positioned directly over the front edge of the stage area. DSP (Digital Signal Processing) is handled by two Symetrix Prism units: the 8 x 8 and 16 x 16 models. Power amplification is provided by six Blaze Audio PowerZone Connect 3004 full-matrix DSP-enabled Class-D power amplifiers. There are two amps per hang point, mounted with a custom bracket that holds the amps on the back of the loudspeaker enclosures.
“I should also point out that we retained 8 WorxAudio UW18BP subwoofers that we installed with the original system back in the ’90s. Like the new Blaze Audio loudspeakers, the WorxAudio sub bass enclosures were also designed by Hugh Sarvis, and this was a key factor that enabled us to retain the subwoofers and mate them with the new CCA enclosures. They all originated with the same loudspeaker engineer. It’s also my understanding that the WorxAudio designs are now the intellectual property of Blaze Audio.”
