Calvary Baptist 
The BOSE
502 panaray
speakers
are barely
visible..

 

Calvary Baptist had a sound system that was very old and sounded terrible. They had updated their mics and mixer but they desperately needed a new speaker system. They contacted EMI and we set out to design a solution for them.

We designed a Bose Panaray 502 speaker system that consisted of two speakers hung from the ceiling (barely visible in the above photo) and a subwoofer that was hidden behind the grillwork behind the cross. The design was much clear and less visible than the old speaker system.

The addition of a new power amp, Bose controller and Shure DFR 11 EQ/Feedback reducer make the speaker system stable and easy to run. Like most of the systems we design it needed very little adjustment after the installation.

Calvary Baptist has a very active music program. They also have a full time sound system operator. There isn't an automatic mixer made that works as effectively as a good sound system operator.

 
The most
effective
control is
a manual
control
console
and a good
operator
We were able to use some parts of the old system....
We designed this sound system using Bose Modeler. This software tool allows us to make a computer model of the room. After we choose the speakers and location, Modeler will tell us the coverage, sound levels and intelligibility. The reverb time of the room will also be displayed. We often do additional reverb testing to double check our work. It is almost always exactly as predicted.
