SAGINAW, TX – Saginaw Church of Christ is using Community Professional Loudspeakers' VERIS system as part of a long-awaited audio upgrade. The new system includes two VERIS 3294W 12-inch three-way loudspeakers. A pair of VERIS 28W dual 8-inch systems provide side fill.
As Dan Ristow of Fort Worth-based Heavenly Sound and Video noted, the VERIS system was well-suited to both the space and the church's worship goals.
"Saginaw Church of Christ is a vocal-only church, so warmth and articulation in spoken word was a fundamental objective in designing their system," Ristow said. "We've worked with the VERIS system in the past, and were particularly impressed with its performance on spoken word. The difference was clear, even in a side-by-side comparison with another more expensive loudspeaker."
The sanctuary's architecture presented some acoustical challenges as well. "The room has a high ceiling, with a rear entrance wall constructed mainly of glass, and intelligibility has always been a bit of a challenge," Ristow said. "We needed a system with a controlled horn pattern that we could aim low enough to keep that energy from reflecting off the wall, and avoid too much comb filtering with the side fill cabinets. Again, the VERIS 32 fit the bill."
The system is powered by QSC amplification, with system DSP provided by an Ashly Protea. An Allen and Heath ZED-420 16-channel mixer is installed at FOH.
"We're pleased to have designed a system that meets their performance needs and their worship goals, while staying within their budget," Ristow concluded. "The VERIS system is really ideal for mid-sized houses of worship."
