| ORLANDO,
FLORIDA, March 10, 2005 — Underscoring
its ability to provide the church market with high powered, state
of
the
art professional loudspeaker technology, JBL Professional announced
it had supplied Lorente Productions with the new PD Series speaker
systems for an installation at Los Gatos Calvary Church in Los
Gatos, California.
“We are seeing demand from churches for the highest level
of sound reinforcement,” said Ted Leamy, Director of Engineered
Sound for JBL Professional. “The PD Series is able to provide
high quality integrators like Lorente Productions with concert
hall quality sound for the performance now being demanded in
the church market.”
Los Gatos Calvary demanded a large installation with a system
that would provide the power of a rock concert and the definition
and articulation of a concert hall. Overall, the installation
comprises a 56 channel MH3 Soundcraft console, nine PD5322/64
loudspeakers, four ASB6128 double 18 subwoofers and eight Marquis
Series MS28s, a two-way system with dual eight-inch woofers for
under-balcony coverage. Monitors are handled by twelve MPro 412s
and four MPro 415s. The speaker systems are powered by Crown
CTS amps and processed by dbx processing.
The new sound system at Los Gatos is part of a complete overhaul
of the building that was originally an old-fashioned Baptist
church. As such, it was designed to accommodate simple acoustic
piano and a choir. With the growth of the congregation and
the desire to add high-powered contemporary Christian rock
music as well as host touring professional Christian bands,
the church decided a more professional system was in order.
“
The church had very high demands, not only for quality, but for
high sound pressure levels,” said Steve Lorente, owner
of Lorente Productions. “They wanted a system that could
handle 120dB SPLs for sustained periods and last. We knew the
PD Series could handle that SPL demand and perform well in the
acoustics of the space. For these kinds of churches where the
technical and artistic demands are very high, we want to use
equipment that is high quality and that we can trust under any
circumstances. It has to work every Sunday, without fail, and
JBL does.”
