A church that's been around for quite some time, this one was still using the (4) column speakers that had been used in the old sanctuary up until 35 years ago when the new sanctuary was built. (Those speakers are a good 40 years old or more!) While 2 of the speakers still sounded pretty good, the other two were damaged and produced distorted sound. Coverage was not ideal at all, although the system had been put in with the best of intentions.

Acoustically the room suffers from flutter echoes between the side walls and is almost too dead of a room for more traditional music. No treatment was decided to be done at this time.

The speakers are mounted to a steel beam run between the two laminated beams. This allows the speakers to be adjusted horizontally for the best interaction between the two.

Both speakers are lifted into place with the use of a winch mounted on the steel beam. A blanket over the top of the speaker keeps the custom paint finish from being damaged. (All 6 speakers and their related steel brackets were painted with a custom color by Mr. Dennis B. The paint match is so on-target, bolt heads painted blend right in with the beam they're run through. Great job, Dennis!

Because of the building design, the four large laminated beam trusses block the sound from the main pair of speakers. The only way to cover the rest of the room (the two side seating areas) would be to lower the cluster pair another 4 to 6 feet (which wasn't feasable), or add fill speakers, which was done.

A fill speaker and choir monitor speaker were mounted to the outside of this center beam. (Look on the right side of the beam, in front of the green ladder.)

The two speakers blend right into the ceiling and provide coverage to even the rear corner seating.

The center speakers are hung just above the cross which hangs over the alter. There are no seats in which the cross is blocked by the main speakers (except for the side seating areas where the laminated beams block the cross before the speakers even do).
