It
is the balance of sound and silence that enhances the quality of any
religious service. The prayers must be as quiet as the music is dynamic.
And in a large sanctuary like the one at North Jacksonville Baptist
Church, achieving that balance is exceptionally challenging.
The separate
sound systems must work as one to reach into the smallest seat in the
farthest comer of the church without overpowering the rest of the
congregation, and at the same time not sound like a sports-arena
public-address system.
Florida
Sound Engineering's responsibilities included
sound system
planning and
acoustical advice for the architect, design of the TV audio system,
technical audio power system, technical conduit system, sound system and
acoustic CAD, and designing the eight sound systems in the main sanctuary
to balance together as one.
