Case Studies
Explore How K-array Audio Elevates Every Space
Rose Hill Church
Rose Hill Church In Baton Rouge, LA, recently relocated to a spacious 46,000 square foot facility to accommodate its growing congregation. After extensive renovations, the impressive new sanctuary features 50-foot vaulted ceilings and can seat up to 1,000 guests, a significant increase from its previous 200-person capacity. This dramatic expansion called for a powerful audio solution to fill the space while maintaining high-quality sound for large services, spoken word, and live music. The installation took place over 3 months and was spearheaded by RC1 Productions owner Rick Camp, a veteran front of house and recording engineer known in the music industry for his work with artists such as Madonna, Earth, Wind & Fire, Beyoncé, The Temptations, Dr. Dre, and many more. RC1 Productions, along with the team from K-array USA, handled the installation and design of the new sound system.
Graham Memorial Chapel
Graham Chapel as it’s known on campus features soaring 45-foot ceilings and stone interior walls that posed a unique acoustic challenge. The project began with 12 months of thorough audio analysis to guarantee a perfect match for the chapel’s multiple services and events throughout the year. Ultimately, K-array’s elegant architectural speaker designs and accurate sound reproduction won over key stakeholders, setting the stage for a brand new audio experience for the 785 person capacity venue. The decision was solidified after an on-site demonstration, where K-array’s solutions showcased their ability to provide full coverage sound with exceptional clarity from the front to the back of the chapel as well as the balcony. The slim, discreet speakers from K-array disappeared into the woodwork without visually disrupting the space.
Canterbury Cathedral
Whitwam AVI has installed a K-ARRAY loudspeaker system at Canterbury Cathedral, improving intelligibility of the spoken word to levels previously unattainable. The Cathedral’s earlier sound reinforcement system, installed in the 70s, was starting to fail and was becoming intermittent.
St. Patrick's Cathedral
St. Patrick's Cathedral, located in midtown Manhattan, has been an iconic national landmark for more than 130 years and is one of the most visited churches in the US. Recently St. Pat’s underwent a massive, multi-year renovation that included extensive interior and exterior structural restorations while the audio system was in need of an overhaul as well.
Imam Reza Shrine
The Imam Reza Shrine in Mashhad, Iran is a complex which contains the mausoleum of Imam Reza, the eighth Imam of Twelver Shiites. It boasts the largest mosque in the world by dimension and the second largest by capacity making the sanctuary in the northern city of Iran a mecca for the devout and tourists alike.
Archabbey of Pannonhalma
The 13th century Archabbey of Pannonhalma recently had a thorough renovation that included an update for the audio system but due to heavy flaws in the quality of installation and the need for higher levels, a new acoustic system was required.
Jikjisa Temple
Established 1,600 years ago in Kimcheon in the Kyungsangdo province of South Korea, Jikjisa is the largest temple in Jogye Order of Korean Buddhism. Within the temple, the Buddhist sanctuary required high quality sound produced by loudspeakers that harmoniously integrated with the temple design. Korea distributor SoundUs has a close relationship with Byupdeung, the Buddhist monk who is responsible for the temple and, after checking the design of temple, they decided K-array was the most natural solution and won the project.
Svetitskhoveli Cathedral
The Svetitskhoveli Cathedral (literally the Cathedral of the Living Pillar, known as the burial site of the claimed Christ's mantle) needed a new sound system. At that time the existing sound reinforcement system of the temple was partially functional and obsolete, far away from modern requirements for the quality of sound reinforcement. Svetitskhoveli is an Orthodox Christian cathedral located in the historic town of Mtskheta, Georgia.
