The church commissioned a full overhaul of its audio systems to improve speech intelligibility, to accommodate broadcast of services and performances by its worship band. The brief called for a system that was capable of 'one button' operation for regular services, whilst having the flexibility to handle patching to and from multiple areas of the church, multitrack recording and broadcast feeds.
Krisztian Varga from Hungarian pro audio specialist, Audmax, designed the solution, with a modular Allen & Heath iLive iDR10 MixRack at its core, feeding a discreet white L-Acoustics Kiva system for the main arrays and L-Acoustics 5XT speakers for ad
For main PA, FOH engineer Serge Veneruso is using left and right arrays of seven STM M46 main cabinets and 7x B112 bass cabinets, together with two M28 down-fills in each array.
This configuration, from the flexible STM inventory, is proving to be ideal for the singer's audiences in venues such as the Zenith in Paris.
Providing supplementary front-fill are Nexo's new GEO M6 compact line array modules, and Fiori's stage monitor system is also all-Nexo, using PS15 cabinets.

After more than 10 years in the city, Genelec has built up a team of seven based at the Beijing office and the time had come to move to bigger and better premises. Hanying Feng, office manager for Genelec China recognised that the time had come to upgrade the company's facilities. "With a staff of six people plus one trainee it was time for us to look for something new as our old office was far from sufficient," he says.

Allstar Pacific Integration Media Solutions based in Vancouver was asked to find an audio system solution for the Patio Ski and Snowboard Park at Cypress Mountain.

The system was designed by Mark Graham of the consulting firm Wrightson, Johnson, Haddon, & Williams. "Having the SB-3Fs greatly boosts voice intelligibility in the far seats," reports Graham. "During the first game, when the team made a big play, I could still hear the announcements over the noise of a sell-out crowd. The boost in top-end clarity maintains good intelligibility without having to push the overall system level until it's too loud, which usually generates complaints."
Sixteen SB-3F loudspeakers project audio to the far opposite end of the stadium over 244 m away,
