Church First Presbyterian Church Salida, CO

Replaced a decade-old, failing audio system with a custom Danley Sound Labs speaker array, an Allen & Heath digital mixing ecosystem, and a modern WiFi-based assistive listening system.

Crystal Clear Intelligibility for a Classic Sanctuary

First Presbyterian Church in Salida faced the common challenge of an aging, first-generation digital system that no longer provided the clarity needed for their congregation. Lambda AV’s mission was to design a cost-effective solution that offered even coverage and high intelligibility without distracting from the aesthetic of their established sanctuary.

We utilized the latest technology from Danley Sound Labs, featuring the SH-110 2-way loudspeaker. Its wide 110° horizontal coverage allowed us to fill the room effectively, while supplemental Danley Cubes ensured that there wasn’t a “bad seat” in the house. To round out the sound, a THMini subwoofer was flown to provide a seamless low-end throughout the space.

The technical heart of the room was upgraded to an Allen & Heath SQ6 console, paired with a 24-input stage box to clean up on-stage patching. We also replaced their legacy analog FM hearing assistance with a cutting-edge Williams AV WiFi system, allowing congregants to stream audio directly to their smartphones and Bluetooth-enabled hearing aids.

Planning

Modeled the sanctuary in CAD and Danley’s proprietary software to determine the precise placement of the SH-110 and Cube speakers for maximum coverage.

INstallation

Streamlined the platform’s footprint by installing a digital stage box, allowing for a single-cable “digital snake” to the new Allen & Heath SQ6 console.

Final Product

A system that congregants described as so clear they “could hear everything,” providing the church with modern reliability and accessibility.
