Skylark Audio Video creates strong sonic continuity between five church locations using A Series loudspeakers and new M1 suite of measurement and monitoring tools<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

DALTON, Georgia \u2013 August 2020 <\/strong>\u2013 If you\u2019re in Northwest Georgia, it\u2019s not hard to find a Rock Bridge Community Church<\/a><\/strong> campus. Its six locations, one of which is in a suburb of Chattanooga near the Tennessee state line, make it easy to be part of this contemporary worship-style church. It\u2019s also easy on the ears, as five of Rock Bridge\u2019s venues\u2014Calhoun, Chatsworth, Ringgold, and Dalton\u2019s Stage 123 and historic 1,165-seat Wink Theatre\u2014now have L-Acoustics A Series<\/a><\/strong> constant curvature line source sound systems, each of which sound nearly identical thanks to the use of the manufacturer\u2019s new M1 measurement tool suite<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe A Series is a very cohesive system,\u201d says Steele Beaty of Skylark Audio Video<\/a><\/strong>, the Oklahoma City-based integrator that designed and installed the PA for all five worship spaces. \u201cThe Wide boxes have a 30-degree vertical pattern, and the Focus has a 10-degree vertical pattern. Between them, we have the tools we need to fill a challenging venue like the Wink Theatre, where the balcony is 105 feet long, and the main floor is 95 feet long, but the entire venue is only 56 feet wide. It\u2019s the very definition of a \u2018shotgun\u2019 room, and that\u2019s why we chose to fly left and right arrays of five A15 Focus<\/strong><\/a> enclosures over one A15 Wide<\/a><\/strong>. Plus, the A15 enclosures have the Panflex adjustable waveguides that let us narrow the pattern width to 70 degrees, which also gives us a +2dB boost in the high frequencies. So not only do we avoid getting any energy on the walls, but we accomplish it without using any DSP. A traditional line source array simply can\u2019t do what we were able to accomplish at the Wink with the L-Acoustics A Series medium-throw line source array.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rock Bridge Community Church Director of Strategic Initiatives John David Boreing adds that the Wink Theatre location\u2014a landmarked building that first opened in 1941 as a movie theater and was purchased by the church in 2004, two years after they began using it\u2014presented particular challenges that the A15 system was able to overcome. \u201cThe large balcony was the really difficult part,\u201d explains Boreing, whose portfolio at the church includes facilities and production. \u201cWith the previous sound system, the balcony was looking at the top of the line array and didn\u2019t get any low end from the floor-mounted subs. It was a tough room to get proper coverage for. The new A15-KS21<\/a><\/strong> combo fixed that immediately.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In fact, the A Series speakers were a perfect fit in other ways besides offering the best sonic performance and most flexible pattern control. Beaty points out that the nearly 80-year-old Wink Theatre is constructed like many venues of its time, with a narrow footprint and many tightly turning staircases. \u201cIt was impossible to get a modern lift in there, and the ceiling isn\u2019t structured, so the reduced weight and compact form factor of the A Series literally allowed us to get it in and get it hung in an older venue like this,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Wink Theatre installation, whose design was done using Soundvision modeling software, also made use of the new M1 suite, a comprehensive set of measurement tools from L-Acoustics. \u201cWe were able to measure the performance of all of the A15 speaker systems in one venue and create a consistent contour that we applied to all of the church\u2019s locations,\u201d says Beaty. \u201cWe were able to make them sound as identical to each other as humanly possible.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Boreing agrees, saying it\u2019s great to have such sonic consistency across so many of the church\u2019s venues. \u201cThe A Series sounds amazing in every place we have it,\u201d he says. \u201cEach church location strives to deliver a consistent message and having L-Acoustics in most of our venues helps communicate that.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the major benefits of the M1 platform is that it is a force multiplier. With even a single microphone, users can measure all relevant systems at multiple locations in the room, then make timing and EQ choices that are best for the room average, all while being able to see the effect of any move on any location individually, or as an average. The ability to analyze data like this is pivotal in creating consistency not only in the measured room but also from venue to venue for unparalleled system consistency and homogeneity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the combination of A15 Wide and Focus and the flown subs, Boreing says coverage is complete, and the sound quality is excellent. \u201cNow that the pandemic restrictions have finally been relaxed a bit on worship services, everyone is really enjoying the new sound at the Wink Theatre, which is better than ever,\u201d he says. \u201cIntelligibility is fantastic, and the music has a real impact, like a concert; it\u2019s a wonderful experience.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Chatsworth campus was Rock Bridge\u2019s first location to adopt an L-Acoustics PA\u2014an ARCS WiFo system, and precursor to the current A Series\u2014installed in 2016. This summer, the church\u2019s Wink Theatre site integrated a new left-right sound system comprising six A15 per side: five Focus over one Wide. The A15 are flanked by two adjacent hangs of three KS21 subs per side, and two A10 speakers per hang are placed left and right as delay arrays for the balcony. Only a block away, Stage 123, Wink Theatre\u2019s sibling venue, also recently had a left-right system of three A10 per side and two center-hung KS21 subs installed, while the Ringgold and Calhoun campuses similarly now have A15-based systems. The PA at each of these five locations is powered by L-Acoustics LA4X<\/a><\/strong> amplified controllers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Skylark\u2019s Steele Beaty recently joined L-Acoustics Product Manager Scott Sugden and two others for the M1-related video, \u201cEvolution of the System Calibration Process – Conversations with the Pros,\u201d posted online at www.youtube.com\/watch?v=jp_dCxihydI<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
