Scope Of Work

Spire AVL worked with Lifehouse Church in Hagerstown, MD to create a flexible space for dynamic worship settings.

Spire worked with Lifehouse Church to design a box trussing system capable of hanging lighting, projections screens, scenic elements, and soft goods/curtains at virtually any location above the stage. The existing laminate wood beams in the facility provided a great structure to use as pick points for the rigging and audio system components.

Spire AVL was challenged with the architectural design and the requested sound system functionality for the Lifehouse Church sanctuary. The coordination between the Spire team and the leadership team at Lifehouse was an instrumental part of the design. Listening to their needs and worship style lead to the success of the installation. The system design necessitated a Danley Sound Labs full range tri-amped sound system with Danley processing and amplification. The room definitely had its acoustical challenges, but choosing a speaker manufacturer that complies with specifications to have constant directivity made the challenge achievable. To achieve the SPL levels and coverage of the room three full range Danley SH96HO were flown to cover the exact positions for both stage and balcony level seating. The system was also equipped with two flown Danley TH118 subwoofers for the amazing low frequencies needed for their contemporary worship style. To supplement the masked high frequencies underneath the balcony seating, Spire installed eight Danley Nanos, which were tuned and delayed, to allow for transparent sound at all rear seating locations. Lastly, the Danley system was tuned with precise delicacy with SMAART software and expert ears.
