A Massachusetts Church; Video Projection for Education

More visual education with video projection at St. Agnes Parish in Dalton MA

In this PSNE blog post, we will share phase 2 of new AV installation at both the Chapel Conference Room and the Academy of St. Agnes Parish. The parish wanted video projection their conference space, which is a former chapel and the Academy library. The building once housed a convent and over time has evolved into the academy. The parish asked Power Sound of New England to first develop and design a church video projection system for the sanctuary.

The project in the main church was completed in the Fall. (Read about it in the post below) That phase of the AV installation was completed in time to utilize the video projection as a learning tool for the new Roman Missal. St. Agnes parish pastor, Fr. Chris Malatesta, employed the new audio visual system as a tool for teaching the congregation. Fr. Chris displayed text onto the large format screen and during Mass the congregation, along with Father practiced the new Mass Translations prior to the November implementation of the Roman Missal, Third Edition.

The Project Phase 2: Church Video Projection for the Chapel Conference Room and the Academy Library. The goal: more visual education!

Other important features of the video projection system included design and AV installation featuring components that would be visually discreet in the conference space therefore maintaining the glorious architecture of the former Convent Chapel. In the library and the chapel ceiling mounted projectors and motorized retractable screens were installed offering an on-demand feature that makes the systems

Services can be seen and heard with monitors

Video Projection Features: Overflow Solution! Video recording of Masses is the focus of the video projection for the church. A camera, mounted in the choir loft records Masses and activity at the altar. The video is projected live to high-definition monitors in the chapel and narthex. The chapel, which features a glass wall of windows looking in the sanctuary space, can be used for overflow congregation or as a mother’s room for managing fidgety babies. The church video can always be relayed to the projector mounted in the parish hall and displayed on the large format projection screen. The parish hall system can also function independently for religious education, films, or other presentations.

Cameras monitor 4 areas for security

Church security: Another feature of the custom audio visual system designed by Power Sound of New England is a camera and digital video recorder that provides church video security. The system offers ways to record entrances and sensitive areas. With monitors installed in offices the parish staff can monitor any of the areas, including the sanctuary, Tabernacle, office entrance, and parking lot as needed.

  
I’ve worked with Troy and Julius for more than 14 years at two different parishes. Their work is always great. The video projection system they designed offers us the flexibility to project Masses in the vestibule, children’s prayer room and onto a large format screen in our parish hall. The video quality is exceptional! Planning for the future, we chose to have a camera security system added during the video project. Power Sound is the company we choose for all our parish AV needs.     ~ Paul Firicano, Business Manager; St. Mary Parish

Three Great Vermont Church Sound System Projects

from the leader in Vermont church audio - Power Sound of New England

Three Vermont parishes have new custom church audio systems from Power Sound of New England. For more than four decades Vermont parishes and other New England churches have chosen Power Sound of New England, more than any other Audio Visual System designers and installers for professional Church Audio Visual Systems. 

“We regard this ongoing faith in our work with much gratitude”, General Manager Troy Jennings said. “It has always been our foremost goal to provide audio visual solutions that are exactly that, ‘solutions’ for churches”.

St. Stanislaus Kotska

The Projects:

St. Stanislaus Kotska; W. Rutland - Fr. Vincent knew the sound quality of the “ancient” church sound system at his parish was inadequate. He had contracted Power Sound of New England for a Bennington church A/V project, where he was pastor a few years ago, and was delighted with the custom church sound system we designed and installed there. For his new parish project he again called on us to design a custom church audio system that would deliver clear audio intelligibility and reliability. We did.

St. Bridget Church

St. Bridget Church; W. Rutland - New "Personal Hearing Assist" system. Here Fr. Vincent needed a way to address the church sound for the hard of hearing. This parish already has great sound and video projection from the church audio visual system we designed and installed as part of an earlier project. With the hearing assist system, which we integrated with the main church audio system, a transmitter sends sound to small receivers provided to those with hearing impairment. A choice of ear buds, headphones and even a wire loop that is worn like a necklace offers comfortable and effective solutions for anyone needing extra sound amplification.

     

“A night and day difference!”

“What a relief it was to know that the parish I was assigned to recently had its church sound system designed and installed by Power Sound! I knew right away that we were in good hands. Now, having been assigned a second parish, no time was wasted in knowing who to call. Again, Power Sound came through fulfilling all our expectations.           ~ Rev. Vincent Coppola, C.S.C.;  St. Stanislaus Kotska & St Bridget Church

Our Lady of Good Hope

Our Lady of Good Hope- Brandon – A complete Church Sound System renovation was done at this church. Rev. Albert “Skip” Baltz called on us to design and install a new church audio system that features state-of-the-art components and delivers rich clear sound. The results are exactly what the parish wanted. Fr. “Skip” has told us his congregation is thankful for the quality and intelligibility of the new church sound. He said he feels it vital that “especially those a hard of hearing now can hear every word” of his homily.

Church audio is a challenge; church acoustics are known to be tough to tame. Careful analysis and experience -that numbers thousands of worship space audio visual system projects- has given Power Sound of New England far more specialized experience than any other regional A/V company. Ultimately we know this: When it comes to church audio, yes, we can give everyone the best seat in the house.
