ROCHESTER, NY – A Fulcrum DX Series coaxial loudspeaker system was installed in the newly built sanctuary at Saint Pius Tenth Parish’s church, which opened in March, three years after a fire destroyed the church’s previous location. The new sanctuary’s hard reflective surfaces and lack of acoustic treatment presented acoustical challenges, and system designer Joe Barone was also asked to not hang speakers below the archway at the sanctuary’s nave. He overcame those challenges with a setup that includes Fulcrum DX1577 and DX896 components.
