St Austin

St Austin Catholic Church in North Minneapolis was using a sound system that was over 20 years old. After a major renovation of the church they decided they neede a new sound system. The new sound system needed to have high intelligibility, good sound quality and a minimal architectural impact. EMI was called upon to come up with aa audio solution for St Austin.

There was no where a central cluster could be hidden while covering the 100' long throws necessary to reach the rear seats. The solution was to use six Bose 502A Panaray speakers in 2 delay zones. These compact speakers could be painted to match the wood soffits running the length of the Nave while creating a very "close" sounding system, even in the back row.

A Shure Automatic Mixer coupled with a Shure DFR-11 EQ/Feedback reducer allows the system to be run hands free for daily mass. A new lectern mic and UHF wireless lapel mic rounds out a system that also includes a small mixer used for live music.
