Church Sound System Upgrade

Church Sound System Upgrade

Artec 300 Series loudspeakers deliver clean, clear natural sound with even dispersion

The new DAS Audio Artec 300 sound system was installed in April 2019 at Emmaus Church, California and is a standout example of the Artec Series’ excellent sound quality for both music reproduction and speech intelligibility.

The Lead Pastor commented, “I can say with confidence that the new sound system has helped us become more effective in our mission. It delivers a clarity and focus to our worship gatherings. I am happy to say it has met and exceeded my hopes.”

The system consisted of DAS Artec 320 installation line array elements augmented by Artec 322S subwoofers for the low frequency, along with two Artec 306 passive point source enclosures. All loudspeakers were painted white to seamlessly blend in with the sanctuary’s aesthetics.

“For this audio system upgrade,” the designer explained, “We elected to fly a centre mono cluster of six Artec 320 loudspeakers over the altar / stage area. These enclosures are supported by three Artec 322S subwoofers flown directly behind the Artec 320s with the middle sub being in a cardioid position to reduce the low-end sound pressure at the altar. Additionally, the sanctuary has a ‘wing’ area off to the left as you face the stage. To ensure coverage here, we placed two Artec 306 loudspeakers. For amplification, we used a single DAS DX-80i 4-channel power amp to drive the centre cluster and the subwoofers. We also used a DAS IA-402 stereo power amp to drive the two Artec 306 loudspeakers.”

The DAS Audio equipment was the ideal choice, "The Artec speakers’ excellent sound quality and their dispersion characteristics makes for perfect directional sound and eliminates the need for any sound treatments to reduce echo. The compact size of the enclosures resulted in a very clean installation that doesn’t distract the congregation, while flying the subs kept the alter area clean of any obstruction or from overpowering the first few rows with low-end."
