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.”
