San Luis Rey Valley United Methodist Church in Oceanside, Calif. recently upgraded their sound system with new equipment from Electro-Voice. The installation was designed and implemented by Murrieta, California-based CBC Technical, Inc. Chris Batchelor, Sales Manager for CBC, comments:

“The church was making a transition from more traditional, classical type music to more contemporary services, and wanted to upgrade their sound system to handle that transition. The staff was looking for something with solid, full-bandwidth response that would help their band sound the best.”

“Tour X and DC-One are both cool new additions to the EV product range,” says Batchelor. “They offer a ton of performance for their price point. And because the equipment was so cost-effective, we were able to meet the church’s budget and really exceed their expectations. QRx is always a good choice for any installation like this, because they have a nice warm, full sound to them straight out of the box. Again, they offer incredible value for what they deliver in audio quality. And the Tour X wedges that we included also provide great bang for the buck – they’re tiny little boxes, but they sound amazing!”

Monte Vista High School in Spring Valley, Calif. recently replaced their original gymnasium sound system with brand-new equipment from Electro-Voice. CBC Technical, Inc. of Murrieta, Calif. designed and installed the state-of-the-art system, which comprises a flown, horizontal cluster of four ZX5 loudspeakers powered by a single CP4000S amplifier, with a DC-One loudspeaker processor, and an RE-2 Wireless system with one RE97TX and two RE-2 handheld microphones. Chris Batchelor, Sales Manager for CBC, comments:

“This is an input to output EV system that balances excellent audio performance with great value. The ZX5s look and sound great and have plenty of power handling. We configured them so the center two boxes were paired and the outer two boxes were paired – the gym pretty much has just a mono system, which is great for all the vocal activities they do in the space like speeches, lectures, meetings, and announcements – your normal high school gym activities. It’s a simple setup with high-grade components – worry free and built to last.” The EV equipment replaces a 70-volt system that had been used in the gym for 20 years.

“Monte Vista is amazed by the difference,” adds Batchelor. “When they heard the warm, rounded sound it absolutely floored them – the intelligibility and coverage is excellent.”
