Houses of Worship Top Story

Design-build Systems Gain Popularity
As soon as they move beyond the basics—beyond the simplest pulpit mics and speaker arrays, for example—media managers in houses of worship often face some daunting decisions about just how to approach larger installations. These installs can range from more sophisticated video systems to entirely new sanctuaries, and large sums of money are often at risk.

Furman Sound Power Conditioners Protect New Grace Church AV Installation
Grace Church, a large non-denominational house of worship serving the Twin Cities metropolitan area of Minnesota, has completed an upgrade of its audio/video system. Performed by Audio Logic Systems of Bloomington, Minn., the installation included the purchase of six new PL-8 Pro Series II 20-amp power conditioners from Furman Sound, plus the reinstallation of an HDS-16 headphone/audio distribution system and eight accompanying HRM-16 headphone/audio remote mixers for a new Yamaha PM1D monitor desk.

The three-week project involved completely upgrading the FOH system, installing a modern replacement, and adding a monitor desk to the system. "Grace Church needed cost-effective, reliable power conditioners that would protect their Yamaha PM1D, DM2000, and [Audio-Technica] AT5000 series wireless system without creating any audio hums," says Jason Kartak, who led the installation. "Furman Sound has a great reputation for reliability and cost-effectiveness, which is why we chose them over other manufacturers for this project." more>>
