The Church of St Peter & St Paul, Lingfield
We spent some time at The Church of St Peter & St Paul, Lingfield when we visited them. As is common in many installations we see, considerable thought and expertise had gone into the current infrastructure. But not enough into the hardware choices and positioning, which resulted in disappointing audio delivery.
The loop amplifier that had already been installed was excellent and must be retained, although we checked and calibrated the actual signal quality and strength as required. We also managed to retain the existing radio systems, although on out of date frequencies.
Our plan was to install a pair of speakers at the front, in exactly the positions they were already situated in. But the new speakers would have a specific dispersion characteristic, ensuring sound only goes where required. With a further smaller pair of speakers fitted to the rear, to supplement these.
The chosen speakers will adequately handle all sources required within the church, from speech to live musical instruments. There was also a 75″ SMART screen installed, for future use of video.
So in total the install for this pretty Surrey church was:
Sound system
- 2 x Martin Audio CDD8 speakers in white (for the nave) with wall brackets
- 2 x Martin Audio CDD5 speakers in white (rear of the nave)
- 2 x Martin Audio CDD5 speakers in white (for the choir)
- 1 x Martin Audio CDD5 speaker in white (for the Lady Chapel)
- 1 x Wall mounted volume control for the above speakers
- 2 x Crown 1002 Amplifiers (to cover 4 zones)
- 1 x Soundcraft Ui16 wireless audio mixer
- 1 x Wireless router
- 5 x microphone systems
Video system
- 1 x 75″ UHD SMART screen with wheelable trolley
- 1 x wireless video sender
- 1 x audio de-embed module
