How do you install a high-performance audio system in an 800-year-old architectural masterpiece without disrupting its historic aesthetics? That was the challenge for the integrator at Holy Trinity Church in Stratford-upon-Avon—the UK’s most visited parish church and the burial site of William Shakespeare.

As an active house of worship, the church needed an audio overhaul capable of handling everything from spoken-word services to contemporary worship with a full live band.

The integrator turned to a combined solution from Electro-Voice and Dynacord to deliver full-range clarity, precise coverage control, and streamlined operations.

 

Featured technology

The complete networked audio solution relies on the following products:

• Electro-Voice EVC-1082 loudspeakers

• Electro-Voice LRC-1100 line radiator column loudspeakers

• Electro-Voice ELX200 subwoofer

• Dynacord IX30:8 and IX15:4 amplifiers

• Dynacord SONICUE sound system software

• Dynacord TPC-1 touch panel controllers 

 

Flexible networking for everyday use

By leveraging the Dante capabilities built into the Dynacord IX series amplifiers, the system supports two distinct operational modes.

For large services and live music, an external sound desk handles comprehensive mixing. For day-to-day operation, the system runs autonomously through the amplifiers' built-in mixers. Staff and volunteers can activate the entire system or manage specific zones simply by touching a preset button on the TPC-1 wall panel—rendering complex engineering skills unnecessary.

The result is a future-proof, highly adaptable installation that honors a historic landmark while providing the premium acoustic performance modern congregations expect.
