FEATURED PROJECT
HOME
Sacred Heart Church was experiencing
poor speech clarity. This was
unexpected since their sound system
utilized a digitally-steerable line array,
designed for high speech intelligibility.
The original installing sound company
had made a recent system insepection;
yet the issue remained. . . . KSG was
called in.
As a first step in addressing the issues,
KSG was engaged to perform their
routine on-site acoustical testing and
assessment, to identify the cause and
provide a budgetary cost for repair or

replacement. During the assessment,
KSG, discovered that the system was
incorrectly calibrated. The unbalanced
calibration of the system degraded
intelligibility of the spoken word in the
Sanctuary sound system.
The church administrator was surprised
to learn from KSG’s senior engineer that
many sound company engineers are not
experienced at dealing with the electro-
acoustic issues of highly reverberant
Catholic churches, whereas KSG’s
acoustic specialists excel with sound
systems in such spaces.
KSG’s senior sound engineer has been
successful in providing excellent
intelligibility in highly reverberant
churches for over 40 years.
