ATLANTIC CITY, NJ — New Hope Baptist Church, which first opened in 1941, needed a new speaker system but was limited to a very tight budget. The contemporary-style house of worship, which seats 250, called upon ACIR Professional (Egg Harbor Township, N.J.). ACIR’s Bobby Harper recommended Yamaha DSR112CA powered speakers, to be followed this year by the installation of DSR118s subs.
More details from Yamaha (www.yamahaca.com):
Harper said that size, weight, price, and most importantly, performance were the deciding factors to installing the Yamaha DSRs. “Power and points were readily available,” states Harper. “We replaced the old speakers and hung the DSR’s right in front of the new ACIR-installed Eiki LC XL100 5000 lumen projector location so that we would have power readily available.”
“The new Yamaha DSR’s add much needed power, clarity, and enhancement to our worship services,” states John Howard, Jr., Director of Worship & Arts for New Hope Baptist Church. “Our audio capabilities have expanded tenfold with the new Yamaha DSR’s!!”
The church still has an old analog console that will soon be replaced by a Yamaha LS9-32 digital console. Amplifiers are being phased out in favor of adding additional Yamaha DSRs for monitors.
The DSR powered speaker series consists of the DSR112, DSR115, DSR215, and DSR118W subwoofer. All models feature 1300W high power and efficiency (LF: 850W, HF: 450W on all models except DSR118W @ 800W) with class D amplification; FIR filter processing (FIR-X Tuning); and D-Contour a multi-band dynamic processor for consistent clarity at both high and low output levels.
