Audio
The main chapel space is filled with hard surfaces–stone, wood, and glass–that produce lots of acoustic reverberations. Covering the beautiful new walls of imported marble tile with acoustical panels was not a desirable option. So dB’s audio solution needed to deliver sound to the audience while minimizing those reverberations. We selected Danley “Skinny Big Horn” speakers, which are known for their point-source fidelity and intelligibility. These speakers fit unobtrusively into the space, and Danley was able to match the cabinet color to the surrounding environment.
A visitor’s first encounter with the Chapel on McEver may well be the digital bells emanating from the bell tower. The digital bell system was a new project for dB Integrations, and we are very pleased with the results. The BRG Carrillon Bell System, located in the Chapel’s bell tower, is designed to be heard across the church’s large campus, and easily programmed and adjusted from the Chapel’s control room. It can even be controlled via a remote.
The Fellowship Hall underneath the chapel can host events as well as wedding preparations. Speakers in the room’s ceiling allow for distributed audio from the main chapel. The space can also receive distributed video.
A covered indoor-outdoor space below the gazebo can function as a catering area or a back-up event location in inclement weather. This area is served by four Danley speakers plus one subwoofer.
