Tannoy VQ Chosen for New Light Church.
New Light’s elders and congregation believe strongly that worship should always be dynamic and expressive, regardless of whether that worship involves the simple act of lifting hands in praise, the celebration of the gospel through a dramatic recitation of scripture, or through the musical performances of its choir and praise band.
The audio system depends heavily on Tannoy loudspeakers to enable the church to continue to serve that mandate – in both speech and song – more effectively than ever.
The project was part of an overall rebuild made necessary by catastrophic damage from a recent fire. As a result, the project involved a complete replacement of New Light’s A/V systems that, in keeping with New Light’s emphasis on dynamic, multi-faceted worship, had to speak well to the reinforcement of speech and program music, a gospel choir and a full electric praise band.
While not a huge space, he explains – estimating the capacity of the room at between two and three hundred people – it was a highly reverberant one. It is all hard surfaces; with wooden pews, stained glass windows down the side and the whole back wall has a huge stained glass window. With the VQ, because of its pattern control, throw back at the wall was minimized, and it’s a clean looking box.
Tannoy speakers are available from My Smarter Home, A Division of Cairn Control Systems Inc.
