USA - St. Paul Evangelical Lutheran Church in Hampton, Iowa, was dealing with a problem familiar to many churches: their existing sound system was simply not adequate. The layout of the church's sanctuary did the system no favours, with a tall ceiling and lots of glass causing any number of reverberations, making speech intelligibility and clear music nearly impossible.
