Church in Valley Stream updates audio system
The audio and lighting system of the Bethlehem Assembly of God in Valley Stream has recently been upgraded. This makes it one of the first installations on the East Coast of the new SARA system from DAS Audio.
Burton Ishmael, a veteran audio engineer, designed the system and is based on right and left arrays with 16 compact powered line array systems from DAS Audio with 3000 watts o four-channel amplification rated Class D. Front fill duties are handled by four ultracompact line array cabinets and four 18-inch compact cardioid powered subwoofers. A MATRIX-66 unit controls the processing of the system using ALMA, the latest management and control software from the company.
Flyer printing can provide more details about such systems for those interested in such improvements.
The building seats 500 people and is a traditional A-frame design. Ishmael said there were many challenges in designing and installing this new system as the church was designed at a time when the spoken word was more prominent than it is now. He added that once the church added music to its services, it discovered that the acoustics in the space were becoming an issue.
He said that this new system has provided improvement in the sound quality as the sound is steered away from the walls and other reflective surfaces and more towards the congregation.
