Cathedral of the Imaculate Conception

He added, "My experience of your work at St Leos and Maternity of Mary, as well as the chapel at St Paul Seminary leads me to believe that you folks can do the job."

We appreciated the vote of confidence and, always up for a challenge, started work on the computer model for the room.

We found that (as we expected) the reverb time was huge - similar to a stadium. The room would need acoustical treatment to reduce the reverberation to an acceptable level. Using the experience we got from our work at Ridder Arena we produced a design for acoustically absorbent panel to be mounted on the walls. With the room acoustics improved, we were able to design a sound system that solved all of Father Schreiner's problems.

BOSE Panaray LT 9702, MB-4 and 402 speakers were used to provide the even coverage and the sound quality this room needed.

BOSE has a new product called ControlSpace. It is a tremendously flexible digital processor. It can also route inputs and outputs and turn any part of the system on or off. This allows us to program almost any combination of functions that can be used as presets. The customer was almost as excited about the possibilities as we were.

ControlSpace is a digital processor with PRESETS. It can be configured to provide single button solutions for almost all of your needs.
Presets can be made for:
• Summer services with no choir and pre-recorded music
• Weddings
• Choir practice
• Services where attendance is low (some speakers turned off)
• Services where overflow areas are used (speakers turned on)
• Controlling recordings
• Turning on your 32 channel mixer for the service with the full band!

After solving their audio quality and coverage problems, we set up the ControlSpace to make the system provide the exact presets they needed. We also added local control of selected functions. The ushers can control the level of the lecturn and wireless mics. The choir mics are also accessable from their location.

In this system, ControlSpace acts as a compressor, mixer, router, eq and delay. That eliminates these items (and their cost) from your sound system. And makes the sound system very easy to use!
