House of Worship

Nestled within the suburbs of St. John's, the St. James United Church congregation had its origins in the rapid expansion of St. John’s following World War II, during the development of the “northern suburbs” around Churchill Park and Elizabeth Avenue.

Purpose

The Church council felt that it was time for an upgrade, they required a newly designed audio system that would provide them with audible voice and musical sound.

Challenge

The church wanted to ensure that the new system would cover the entire church for all members of the congregation. TOA's tech team had to create a system design that could be delivered to a lay audience for the church council to review, one that clearly displayed and explained the system components, as well as how it would provide the sound results required.

Solution

TOA Canada Corporation assisted with the design of the sound system using EASE focus. This allowed the Installer and end user to be able to see speaker placement and provide SPL renderings. This is beneficial in the design and preparation of an installation for both the installer and end user, eliminating guesswork.

The church decided on a combination of TOA's SR-H and SR-S Series Line Array Speakers and subwoofers. The head end includes TOA's M-864 Digital Stereo Mixer, DP-SP3 Digital Speaker Processor, and DA Series Multi-Channel Amplifiers. The M-864D Mixer was used for microphone and auxiliary inputs along with the ZM series keypads for memory loading and source control. Three DA-500F-HL amplifiers were used to power multiple speaker arrangements including SR-S4S, SR-H2S, FB-120B, and HS-1200BT for full system coverage. These were assigned to the DP-SP3 DSP for EQ processing and delay setup.

Feedback

The congregation rejoices with their new sound system, enjoying the sound quality of each service.
