Lynnwood, Washington

Alderwood Community Church just completed a youth expansion wing and the installation of lighting, sound and video equipment.  Once the room was on line the cinderblock walls really became a problem.  The approach in this room was to absorb the energy not aimed at the seating area.  Banners were employed to absorb direct and reverberant sound from the main speakers.  Wall panels were hung on the wall behind the band and mix positions to improve the environment for the youth band and sound person. 

Regarding the project Dave Ballbach (Administrative Pastor) said,

"I appreciated the useful time spent in evaluating the acoustics of our meeting space.  Knowing that our budget was limited, you zeroed in on the improvements that were most cost effective and would provide the most acoustical advantage.  Following your instructions, we had instant success with redirecting the sound to improve intelligibility.  everyone was happy with the results".
