Located in Kent, Washington, the Way to Salvation Church serves the Slavic Community in the Seattle and Tacoma area in a modern, 2,000-seat sanctuary equipped with a dBTechnologies VIO audio system. Seattle-based Hi-Tech Sound & Lighting designed and installed the system following a demonstration form company owner Vasyl Mulyarchuk early in the church’s planning process.
The new system consists of left, centre and right hangs of six VIO L210 line arrays. Three DVA S10 DP subwoofers add low-frequency support, and two Ingenia IG2Ts provide side fill at stage left and right. Six DVX DM12 TH loudspeakers serve as monitors – four are ceiling-mounted for the choir. Five LVX 10 loudspeakers cover the balcony and four LVX 8 loudspeakers provide under-balcony fill. Additional LVX 8 loudspeakers cover hallways and entry areas in the church. All loudspeakers are self-powered.
Mulyarchuk used dBTechnologies RDNet software for system set-up, commissioning and operational control. Hi-Tech also provided audio systems throughout the rest of the church including classrooms and meeting spaces.
Mulyarchuk says the dBTechnologies VIO system provides even coverage throughout the church with excellent voice intelligibility and great sound quality for the church’s music service with its large choir. He says the system was easy to install in large part because of dBTechnologies well-designed rigging system. And, at the church’s grand opening many people complemented him on the audio quality, ‘Everyone loves the system,’ he adds.
