The Project
St James the Great’s - St Barnabas Centre serves as a vibrant community hub as well as a space for worship and special events. The Centre required an upgrade to its audio-visual facilities to better support a range of uses, including services, community gatherings, concerts, presentations, and streaming.
DM Music designed and installed a system that balances flexibility, ease of use, and discreet aesthetics, ensuring the Centre is fully equipped to meet modern expectations while preserving its welcoming character.
Challenges & Objectives
- Aesthetics: All equipment is installed with minimal fixings into the fabric of the building, and discreetly installed cabling
- Streaming System: PTZ Cameras and a fully featured video mixer allow for flexible live streaming and recording of services
- PA System: Designed to deliver high-performance audio for worship with ease while giving enhanced intelligibility for speech
Outcome
- Full-range, crystal-clear sound coverage throughout the church
- Enhanced PA capabilities for worship, live band, special events, digital audio recording and control
- Additional ‘confidence-monitor’ screen for worship leaders, band, etc
- Discreet installation that respects the building’s architecture
- Projection Solution: Visually discreet yet effective screen for hymn lyrics, videos, and service content
