Together with Sound Source Audio, professional audio solutions specialist Audiologic has completed a sound system upgrade at the Stockton Parish Church.

Built in 1712, Stockton Parish Church offers a diverse, lively and charismatic worship experience led by Minister Mark Miller. As with most historic and complex buildings, installing a contemporary sound system presents challenges – with its previous set-up, the church suffered non-uniform coverage of the listening area and speech intelligibility was poor due to the acoustics of the space. A level of uniformity was required to ensure all attendees received the same listening experience, no matter where they were in the building.

Sound Source Audio, a small business installing A/V solutions to organisations (particularly places of worship) across the Northeast of England, worked with Audiologic to devise and provide a suitable solution. The project was a long time in preparation, with the acoustics making the design process critical. Audiologic and Sound Source Audio arranged a series of trials that proved a Nexo Array – two hangs of six Geo M620 cabinet arrays a side, with two ID24 fill and LS600 subs powered by two NX1Amp4x1 amplifiers – an opitmum solution.

‘We wanted to upgrade the sound system in the church that would deliver the audio experience for all our attendees that we were looking for,’ says Minister Miller. ‘It’s important to me that the delivery of our services is inclusive. Everyone should feel like they are being personally spoken to and the Nexo solution did just that.’

‘As a business, our model is to form long-term personal relationships with our customers and a few suppliers. Audiologic is one of those key suppliers and are a large part of what makes Sound Source successful,’ says Sound Source Audio owner, Jamie Harvie.

‘The ability to contact Audiologic for advice and support before placing an order is invaluable – they always provide a great service through the order process, and I can depend on them for help if something were to go wrong. Audiologic’s overall support and attention to detail made this project run smoother than we could have imagined. The result was a great sound system and a delighted customer.’
