    St. Joan of Arc Catholic Church recently updated their 1960s-vintage sanctuary with a new Iconyx system, meeting the needs of both traditional and contemporary worship. As Dr. Bob Griffin of Baltimore-based Design and Integration observes, it was also an important consideration in designing the church’s new sound system. “Speech intelligibility and focused coverage are always high priorities, particularly in a very reverberant space such as this one,” he says. “But it was also important to create a system with a… View this post

    A.W. Mumford Stadium
    PSW Staff 03/17/10 11:00 AM, 0 Comments
    After Hurricane Gustav hit Baton Rouge in September of 2008, the city was shut down for several days due to damage. At Southern University and A&M College, damage to 29,500-seat A.W. Mumford Stadium was significant but manageable. “It seems like a pretty minor issue but the truth is, losing the revenue generated by a home football game is significant,” notes Henry L. Thurman III, Director of the Physical Plant for Southern. “We had lost the entire sound system from our… View this post

    image
    Mike Sokol 03/14/10 02:37 PM, 2 Comments
    Provided by HOW To Church Sound Workshops. One of the most important things a church sound operator/technician learn is how to properly wrap cables for the sound system.

And that means fewer sound failures during a worship service, something we can all aspire to. Wrapping and laying cables for a… View this post

    Pathways Church Chooses Danley Loudspeakers In Upgrade Of Historic Facility
    Pathways Church
    PSW Staff 03/10/10 01:20 PM, 0 Comments
    Pathways Church in Denver, Colorado is unique in many ways though surrounded by classic architecture, the church delivers a decidedly contemporary service, complete with a fully-voiced rock band. Like many houses of worship, the sound system in Pathwas Church was inadequate to amplifying the worship music. Coverage was spotty, output was weak, and intelligibility was fleeting, especially with the system frequently red-lined. On a tight budget, Colorado-based Summit Integrated Systems replaced the existing loudspeakers with Danley loudspeakers and subwoofers while… View this post
