When St Joseph’s University in Philadelphia decided to transform their McGuire campus’ former chapel into a contemporary multi-use student center, they called upon Maryland-based RJC Designs. The re-purposed venue required an A/V and media solution that could address a multitude of challenges from from the acoustical and logistical to the aesthetic, while maintaining the room’s classic architectural lines. Audio is provided via dual integrated sound systems, each addressing a critical niche. A pair of Community Professional ENTASYS high-performance column line…

The sanctuary of the Heilig Hart (Sacred Heart) Church in Boom, just south of Antwerp in Belgium, has recently upgraded to Community Professional loudspeakers in a project installed by communication and integration specialist Zelzate-based Tevean nv. With capacity for up to 700 people and contemporary architecture, the large open space required good pattern control loudspeakers to avoid the reflective surfaces in the highly reverberant environment. Community ENTASYS column line arrays were chosen for their wide horizontal and narrow vertical dispersion.…

The Lincoln Highway was the first automobile road across the United States, stretching from New York’s Times Square to San Francisco. Marking the road’s western end, high on a hill overlooking the Pacific and the Golden Gate Bridge, is the California Palace of the Legion of Honor. The building, a magnificent three-quarter-scale reproduction of Paris’ Palais de la Légion d’Honneur, is home to a wide and varied collection of ancient and European art spanning more than 6,000 years. The Palace…

Dedicated in 1961, the current sanctuary of Holy Spirit Catholic Church in Philadelphia is a unique and welcoming space, resplendent with ornate woodcarvings, wrought iron, and magnificent stained glass, including perhaps one of the only works commemorating John Fitzgerald Kennedy’s inauguration as the country’s first Catholic president. But the same elements that make the sanctuary so beautiful to behold also make it a rather acoustically challenging space. As Tony Albano of Avondale, PA-based Naamans Creek Audio Video explains, the room’s…

Home to the oldest sports club operating in Poland, Cracovia Rink has benefitted from a complete program of reconstruction and refurbishment in recent years, and it now also has a new sound reinforcement system designed and installed by Wrocław-based Tommex Zebrowscy. “Due to the difficult acoustics and harsh climatic conditions in the ice hall, the choice of loudspeakers was fundamental to the system’s performance and long-term reliability,” explains Marcin Zimny of Tommex.

Like most of New Jersey’s seaside communities, life on this resort island near Atlantic City is affected by the seasons. In the summer months, the sun seekers and beach lovers help to swell the congregation at St. Thomas the Apostle from 1,000 to more than 3,000—well beyond what the existing sanctuary can handle. As Bobby Harper, VP of sales at Egg Harbor-based ACIR Professional explains, the church came up with a creative solution. “It’s an older structure, and it has…
