WorxAudio Technologies Delivers a ‘Quality Musical Experience’ at First Presbyterian Church

In Install Newsby admin

First_Presbyterian_43SmFounded in 1867, First Presbyterian Church is the oldest church in its area. The church offers a diverse range of ministries, including caring for the poor and homeless of the community as well as partnering with a sister church in Havana, Cuba and supporting a girl’s school in Pakistan. With both traditional and contemporary services, music assumes a vital role in the church’s programs. In order to ensure the best possible music reproduction for the congregation, church management recently decided to upgrade the sound reinforcement system. This resulted in the deployment of loudspeaker systems drawn from the TrueLine catalog of Greensboro, NC-based WorxAudio® Technologies (www.worxaudio.com), a division of PreSonus® Audio Electronics (www.presonus.com).

Fort Wayne, IN-based CSD (Custom Sound Designs) Group, Inc., an award winning, nationally recognized design/build firm providing audio, video, lighting, and acoustics services, was contracted to manage the installation of the church’s new sound system. CSD Group President Doug Hood, who oversaw the project from conception through completion, discussed the challenges of the job and his decision to deploy two WorxAudio TrueLine X3i-P All-In-One Compact Line Arrays plus an X1Mi-P line array enclosure.

In Install Newsby admin

DiGiCo_Passion_1With the promise that “three locations will be connected across two cities with a single heartbeat,” Passion 2016 delivered worship sessions, speakers, and praise music through nine Optocore-networked DiGiCo SD7 digital audio mixing consoles at arenas in Georgia and Texas at the beginning of January. The three-day event attracted tens of thousands of college-age adults and featured a roster of speakers and bands traveling between all three venues. In addition to audio and video presentations synchronized over inter-city fiber networks, all were webcast worldwide.

With the same lineup of musicians performing at each arena, production provider Rat Sound Systems of Camarillo, California, supplied the same complement of DiGiCo consoles, with DiGiGrid servers at FOH and monitors, plus identical control, wired and wireless microphone, and IEM packages, at each of the three locations. Rat Sound, working for the third time on the design and implementation of production sound for the annual Passion Conference, also provided virtually identical L-Acoustics K1/K2 PA system packages, scaled appropriately for each venue.

TEKVOX Multi-Display Solution Improves the Worship Experience at St. George Church, San Antonio

In Install Newsby admin

St. George Church Installation PhotoWhen St. George Episcopal Church in San Antonio, Texas wanted to improve the worship experience for its parishoners, integrator Multimedia Specialties recommended an upgrade to a flexible, affordable TEKVOX Multi-Display Solution.

St. George Episcopal Church was founded in 1954 and holds two worship services Sunday morning. It had been using a projector and motorized screen in the altar area of its traditional church interior to display text and images, but the technology obscured the altar and had only limited multimedia applications.

To offer a more exciting experience to worshippers, St. George Church opted for a flat-panel solution. “The existing projection screen came down in front of the cross and interfered with the aesthetics of the altar,” says John Joffe, owner of San Antonio’s Multimedia Specialties. “By installing four flat panels and deploying the TEKVOX Multi-Display Solution the church got its beautiful altar back and gained versatility for worship services and other events.”

A Single Danley SM-96 Turns the Sound Around for Trinity Evangelical Lutheran Church

In Install Newsby admin

Trinity_Lutheran_InteriorThe history of Trinity Evangelical Lutheran Church in the Chicago suburb of Oak Lawn is deep. Founded by German immigrants shortly after the Civil War, the church grew steadily through the 1930s. To accommodate that growth, Trinity constructed a 350-seat sanctuary in 1940 that still serves the church to this day. The Gothic, limestone structure is considerably longer than it is wide, and its stained glass and ornate architecture make it a beautiful and transcendent place to worship. These days, Trinity holds two Sunday services, one in a more traditional style and one that’s more contemporary. Though beautiful, the Sanctuary has been challenged by unintelligible sound quality and poor gain-before-feedback. In order to address these issues, the church called on Peoria-based Advanced Audio & Lighting Systems, who solved these problems with the excellent pattern control and point-source purity of a single Danley Sound Labs SM-96 loudspeaker.
