Eastern Acoustic Works announces new headquarters

Eastern Acoustic Works (EAW) has announced the opening of its new headquarters in Franklin, Massachusetts. Located 45 minutes from Boston and thirty minutes from Providence, the new 56,000-square-foot standalone building at 19 National Drive in Franklin consolidates all EAW operations.

The facility includes 32,000 sq ft dedicated to production and warehousing, 6,000 sq ft of engineering lab space, a 3,000 square foot indoor training and demo space, 3,000 sq ft for in-house technical service and support operations, and 12,000 sq ft of office space. Alongside all of this, outdoor demo spaces on the grounds are a new addition to EAW’s operations. The modernized warehouse and production areas are equipped with advanced systems and infrastructure to enable faster lead times for customizable products, including color options.

The enhanced engineering lab space builds on EAW’s legacy of precision testing. “The high ceiling in our acoustics lab, known historically as the ‘PIT lab’, allows us to measure lower frequencies and provide greater resolution at all frequencies”, says Geoff McKinnon, Senior Director of Engineering at EAW.

The facility’s indoor training and demo space provides a dynamic venue for classroom-style customer education and product demonstrations. It will also host a video production studio to accommodate virtual training. Complementing this are two outdoor demo spaces, including a 175-foot throw area and a 300-foot throw area supported by three 40-foot scaffold towers and rigging capable of showcasing systems ranging in size from a large club or theater to stadium-length arrays. These spaces allow EAW to showcase its loudspeaker systems for potential customers in real-world conditions.

“The best part of the new headquarters is that the proximity of all departments fosters closer interaction and communication”, says EAW’s President, TJ Smith. “For example, having customer support, the service center and engineering in close contact every day enables us to enhance our efficiency.” He emphasizes the advantages of the Franklin location compared to the previous headquarters in Whitinsville: “While our overall square footage remains the same, the new space is far better organized and tailored to modern needs.”

“Being within fifteen minutes of two premier live music venues enables us to attract top talent and strengthen our connections to the live sound industry as we reclaim our production audio heritage”, adds Smith. EAW’s new headquarters is now open to customers by appointment.
