Located in Carmelaram, Bengaluru, Mount Carmel Forane Church serves a devoted congregation within a highly reverberant worship environment. With an RT60 exceeding four seconds, the space presented significant acoustic challenges, requiring a system capable of delivering exceptional speech intelligibility and controlled musical reinforcement without raising overall sound pressure levels.

Zacs and Phils approached the project with detailed acoustic evaluation and on-site analysis, focusing on controlled dispersion and tonal balance. The objective was clear: preserve the sanctity of worship while ensuring every word, hymn, and prayer reached the congregation with clarity and definition.

The installation features HH Audio CLS column arrays selected for their controlled vertical dispersion and ability to minimize reflections. Low-frequency reinforcement is provided by TNA 1800SA subwoofers, while TRM1201 stage monitors support altar and choir requirements. System processing is managed through the HH Audio SP48 DSP for precise EQ, delay alignment, and protection.

Vocal capture is handled using AKG D5S and D7S microphones, complemented by Electro-Voice R300 HD wireless systems for stable RF performance. Post-installation, the church now benefits from a balanced and intelligible sound environment, transforming a challenging acoustic space into a refined and immersive worship experience.
