Church Sound and Video Projection System for Holy Bible Baptist Church Customized for the very special needs a growing Boston area church

Holy Bible Baptist Church Sound and Video Projection System Plan
In 1986 seventeen worshipers made up a congregation led by Rev. Dieudonné Raymond. Today, Holy Bible Baptist Church, (HBBC), has grown to more than 500 members and grown into a larger church that is just a block away from the church that had been their home.

Power Sound of New England was chosen over other Boston area audio visual companies to design and manage the extensive Church Sound and Video system installation for their new home. A comprehensive Church Video System combined with new audio system, including speakers and electronics, a multitude of video projection equipment, wireless & podium microphones and more - along with a strategic plan for a custom design to meet this churches special audio visual system needs.    

The Church Sound System Design Philosophy
Pastor Raymond and the church administration wanted concert hall quality church sound to enhance the musical experience of the band and choir - an integral part of the worship at HBBC - but without the large, boxy (and unsightly) speakers typically required for it. We fitted the sanctuary with 10 foot tall, 4 INCH wide, BOSE speakers, designed especially for the needs related to amplifying church sound for both the spoken word and the music. In the chapel, which can be open to the main church via large carriage house-style doors, 6-foot speakers offer the same quality church sound for the slightly smaller space. They are virtually invisible, yet the sound quality is all the church dreamed of, and more!   

The Church Sound System requires individual amplification settings for all the worship service participants. Here at this Boston area church this includes lecturers, and singers, as well as musical instrumentation. This is managed by myriad microphones – from hanging styles to microbooms to podium-mounted pencil microphones to the invisible “Earset” wireless, which matches Pastor Raymond skin tone and loops around his ear for “feedback free” speaking, comfort and complete freedom of movement.
All church audio systems are integrated; the chapel, main church, hall and other spaces, the church audio systems can perform independently or synchronically as one.  The church sound (and video) systems are controlled by the church sound engineer from the rear balcony. The engineer manages church sound settings for any scenario including broadcast into auxiliary spaces, the nursery, foyer, and chapel.

The church video projection aspects of the project will be detailed in out next post. Please contact us to learn more about custom audio visual systems. http://www.powersoundne.com/contactusinquiries.html
