Sound Systems For Houses of Worship

Houses of Worship

Houses of Worship

This community church has two worship spaces, both with the requirement for amplifying sound from the band and worship leaders.

Line inputs from the two rooms to the Zone 8 allow connection of a live mixing console.

The main hall is equipped with a pair of Cuboid 10 at the front and a pair of Cuboid 8 to improve coverage at the rear of the space. These are fed via delay in the Zone 8 to allow best alignment with the front loudspeakers. Four Sub 10 mounted beneath the stage complete the high quality sound for this room.

The smaller worship space has a single pair of wall mounted Cuboid 8 loudspeakers.

In addition to the two main worship spaces there are two breakout rooms, each of which has a local input and controller and has sound relayed via Up 4 loudspeakers.

All areas also have access to central music sources, and each worship service can be relayed around the building to all rooms as required via a ZonePad 1 in each area.
