HOUSES OF
WORSHIP

An acoustically challenging space with large domed ceilings, a balcony, stained glass windows and hard marble surfaces. They didn't want to add acoustical treatments. The previous sound system didn't cover the room or provide the audio quality and clarity they needed.

They wanted speech intelligibility first and foremost. Conveying the message whether it was song or speech was the absolute priority. Keeping the vocals over the music and the preacher's sermon clear and present in what is a very reverberant space was critically important.

16 WPC a side for the main array with a side fill array of 6 WPM a side covering the extreme outside corners because this church gets very full, especially for special events.

The stage was modified to accommodate the five SX218 subs per side that are recessed into the front with everything powered by the iKON amps.

System deployment utilised highest resolution (1 amp channel to 1 cabinet) to significantly reduce the audio levels hitting the hard surfaces that needed to be avoided, and to ensure coverage was consistent throughout the space.
