ICONYX Gen5 Brings Clarity to First Baptist Church of Redlands

In Install Newsby admin

untitledFounded in 1887 by a group of 13 faithful, First Baptist Church of Redlands has served the Inland Empire region of Southern California for more than 125 years. The church’s current home, built in 1952, is beautiful Spanish-style building housing a sizeable 480-seat sanctuary. The room’s classic architecture creates problematic acoustics, however, and the congregation had struggled for years with poor intelligibility, exacerbated by an outdated center-cluster sound system. Those struggles recently ended with the installation of a new Renkus-Heinz Iconyx Gen5 sound system designed and installed by systems integrator Ireland Sound Systems of nearby Upland, California.

“The biggest requirement was superior intelligibility for spoken word,” recalls Patrick Ireland, owner of Ireland Sound Systems. “However, the congregation also has a praise band that plays at services, as well as a choir and an organ. The Iconyx Gen5 system was a clear choice because it handles both speech and music extremely well, and it has plenty of power for the praise band.”
