EAW: The Clear Solution

For St. Mary’s Assyrian Church Of The East

EAWSt. Mary’s Holy Apostolic Catholic Assyrian Church of the East, located in Tarzana, California, recently christened their new sanctuary featuring an EAW sound reinforcement system. The new building replaced a church destroyed during a fire more than three years ago.

After the fire, a church committee began raising funds for the new building. Once that was accomplished, the design process began. It was then that they tapped Bob Ludwig, owner of Audio Techniques Pro, located in nearby North Hollywood, California, to design new sound systems for the sanctuary, the choir loft/balcony and for a small chapel located off the alter.

“When the committee approached me about a new sound system it was clear that intelligibility was a top priority,” explains Bob Ludwig, Audio Techniques. “It needed to be relatively simple to operate and provide some control of the system from the altar. I have installed a lot of EAW systems in churches and felt confident they had the products that would fit their needs and stay in budget.”

The rectangular-shaped sanctuary, which seats up to 500, features a cathedral ceiling, a tiered alter, a dome above the alter and a choir loft/balcony in the back of the room. From the flaxen-color Jerusalem stone floors to the stained glass windows depicting scenes from the Old and New Testaments, the space was redundant with hard surfaces making vocal intelligibility a challenge.

With multiple campuses across greater Los Angeles, Shepherd of the Hills is a modern church with a bustling congregation. In addition to their main campus in Porter Ranch, Shepherd of the Hills runs three satellite locations in suburban Los Angeles locations.

Shepherd01The West Valley campus operates out of a high school multi-purpose room in Woodland Hills. For Pastor Mike Johnson, part of the challenge is to create an environment that is anything but institutional. In a matter of hours, the entire room is transformed — draperies, comfortable seating, and a high quality sound system. “Our desire is, on Sunday morning when someone walks in, there’s kind of an ‘ahh’ factor,” Johnson explains.
