Case Study: Saint Gerald Catholic Church achieves clearer speech intelligibility with Biamp audio solutions

Saint Gerald Catholic Church improves intelligibility across 900 seats with Biamp

Saint Gerald Catholic Church, a 900-seat house of worship in Ralston, Nebraska, faced a significant challenge with audio intelligibility during sermons due to its highly reverberant sanctuary. The church needed a sound solution from vendor Biamp that could overcome the space's challenging acoustics without detracting from the building's classical aesthetic.

The solution implemented by Biamp utilized Community ENT-FR column loudspeakers and ceiling subwoofers driven by an AudiaFLEX digital signal processor. This system provided the necessary directivity to place sound precisely on the congregation, greatly enhancing speech intelligibility. The result was incredibly clear audio for all activities, achieved with hardware that was painted to blend seamlessly with the church's design.
