Final touches

Today we finalized all of our installation. We installed a shelf for three amplifiers in the nursing room of the infant nursery. We installed an extra duplex outlet up on the wall where the amps could plug in. We also placed one of our two Network Sound wall plates here. The audio runs from the DSP in the sound booth to a wall plate in the sound booth. From there, the Network Sound plate converts the unbalanced audio signal to twisted pair and transports it to the closet in the fellowship hall. The Zone Server is installed on the rack there. From there, it comes out of the Zone Server and travels via twisted pair to the wall plate in the nursing room. At the Zone Server location, the signal comes out stereo RCA and goes into an Audiosource AMP100. This gives us an audio feed for the fellowship hall which may be used at a later date for an overflow audience if the auditorium gets too crowded. The feed that goes to the nursing room enters all three amps there. These amps power speakers in the lobby, cry room, and both nurseries. The lobby speakers are installed so that people can hear pre-service music when they enter the building in the morning. Also, when the service is underway, anyone in the lobby can hear what’s going on so they don’t make a disturbance. The cry room is a room adjacent to the auditorium that is for people that want to hear and see the service but may be sick or have children with them. The windows are sound-proof so that they can watch, but not disturb the rest of the audience. The speakers in the nursery are for the nursery workers to know when the service is coming to a close so they can get the childrens’ things ready for pick-up. The system works great, and is versatile for different use down the road.

All of the original scope of work is now completed, but we have more work ahead of us. There are two rooms where we will be installing projectors and screens. The fellowship hall will get a 4000 lumen projector and a 8x10’ motorized screen. One of the adult Sunday school rooms will get a 1200 lumen projector and 100” 16:9 manual screen. This work will probably be done around the end of the year.
