With a goal for providing a vibrant, engaging worship service for every audience member, the room's acoustics were the top priority for Keystone at the start of their project. Auditory details are more easily understood when vocalizations have vibrato, and the congregation relies on worship leaders and pastors to guide them through the hour-long programming. Along with acoustics and loudspeakers, we also provided video and lighting in the room to provide a complete immersive experience
for the congregation.
"As a former Worship Pastor, I know how important it is to get the audio right, but I also know how difficult it is. Once I heard a few of the rooms WAVE had built, I knew we had found our AVL partner."
- Brent Minter, Lead Pastor
SUMMARY
Keystone Church of Ankeny had outgrown their current space and needed to build a new building to meet the needs of their growing ministry.
With a goal for providing a vibrant, engaging worship service, vocal clarity became top priority. Auditory details are more easily understood when vocalizations have vibrato, and the congregation relies on worship leaders and pastors to guide them through the hour-long programming. Along with acoustics and sound design, we also provided video and lighting in the room to provide a complete immersive experiences for the audiences senses.
THE SOLUTION
We partnered with the architect early, and worked with them to shape the room to provide a great setting audibly and visually, preventing the client from needing to add acoustics on the walls later. The selection of d&b speakers was based on their suitability for the area, and Fulcrum Immersive was implemented to provide an immersive experience.
KEY FEATURES
d&b loudspeakers, Fulcrum Immersive's Venueflex Processor, custom designed acoustic paneling for back wall, and Chauvet houselighting.
THEIR STORY
“My selection for WAVE was because their acoustic process drives their PA design. You really should consider them for their acoustics; you won't get their level of excellence anywhere else.”
