"Wireless Equipment Empowerment by RF Venue at Austin's Stone Church" or "RF Venue's Wireless Equipment Powers Austin Stone Church".
Austin Stone, a church located in the Austin, Texas area, is constructing a new AV facility on its southwest campus. For the project, Brown Note Productions, a renowned AV systems integrator, has been tasked with designing and installing the facility's AV systems.
To ensure a reliable and flexible wireless audio transmission, Brown Note Productions has opted for RF Venue Wireless Essentials. The solution involves placing receivers in remote racks and using Diversity Architectural antennas in each classroom, along with 4 ZONE antenna combiner systems.
Each classroom is equipped with a single microphone in a charging station, and the operator only needs to turn it on and adjust the volume for it to work. The main auditorium uses RF Venue Band-pass Filters between the Diversity Architectural antenna, an outdoor Diversity Fin antenna, and the DISTRO4 system.
The small classrooms posed a challenge, which was addressed by using QSC Q-SYS control and upgrading microphone systems to Shure ULX-D. The use of Diversity Architectural antennas and combiner systems allowed for a single receiver to handle multiple microphones in different rooms.
Band-pass Filters were used on all antenna systems to ensure a clean RF signal and eliminate dropouts in all microphone systems. Brown Note Productions worked purposely with both Shure and Sennheiser to ensure the best possible RF signal and avoid intermodulation.
The church's wireless audio needs are met by 26 channels of the Shure ULX-D Digital Wireless System and eight channels of Sennheiser ew-IEM G4 wireless in-ear monitoring systems. The antennas used in the classrooms are designed to be visually low impact and blend into the environment.
Zach Richards and Joe Johnson are the directors of integration and project managers, respectively, for the Integration division of Brown Note Productions. According to Joe Johnson, all wireless systems installed by Brown Note Productions work flawlessly.
The advantages of using RF Venue Wireless Essentials in a house of worship AV system, as demonstrated in the Austin Stone project, primarily include:
- Reliable and flexible wireless audio transmission that ensures consistent coverage and high-quality sound essential for worship environments.
- Simplified installation and management by integrating power and data over a single Ethernet cable using Power over Ethernet Plus (PoE+), which reduces the need for new electrical wiring and allows flexible device placement.
- Centralized power management, enabling remote monitoring and control of power to wireless devices, which improves system reliability and maintenance efficiency.
- Enhanced audio quality with minimized interference and dropouts, crucial for clear speech intelligibility and music reproduction during services.
These features facilitate seamless in-person audio quality and adaptability for various worship settings. The project presents a challenge due to numerous spaces with varying amounts of wireless audio within the facility. However, with the expertise of Brown Note Productions and the robustness of RF Venue Wireless Essentials, the church is well-equipped for its growing needs.
