Belgium - Active Audio is celebrating the largest deployment to date of its intelligent, steerable StepArray SA180S column loudspeakers - 64 of which are providing intelligibility as part of a new sound system deployment at Leuven railway station in Flemish Brabant, Belgium.
Originally constructed in the 1830s, the current station design dates back to 1875, when it was rebuilt in the eclectic style. Since 2000, it has undergone a series of renovations, including the addition of a monumental roof comprising 16 sloping white domes, designed by Philippe Samyn and Partners to resemble sails fluttering in the wind, with 13 railway lines underneath serving national and international destinations.
The complex acoustic environment created by this mix of architectural styles, as well as restrictions on how the loudspeakers could be installed, presented the main challenges for A

South Africa - The AFM Fountain of Life Church in the tropical garden town of Tzaneen recently played host to the Tzaneen Pastors Fraternal Worship Conference. Audio clarity at such events is an essential element of proceedings, something which on this occasion might have proved challenging given that the venue was approaching the end of a renovation project. Although the work was almost concluded, the interior had not yet benefitted from carpets or any form of acoustic treatment.
The conference enlisted the services of audio rental specialists Mbhetse Productions, who deployed HH Electronics TNA Line Array to deliver the necessary power and clarity for the combination of spoken word and music ensemble presentations.
For front of house, Mbhetse Productions deployed a ground-stacked configuration comprising (per side) one TNA-1800S, one TNA-2120SA and four TNA 2051, w

USA - Deep in the heart of Philadelphia’s Rittenhouse Square neighbourhood lies St. Mark’s Church. Considered one of the best concert venues in the city, the church nave is quite large, with seating for more than 450 people. Parishioners celebrated the church's first service in 1849 under the overarching timber fretwork of the great roof.
The Decorated Gothic style of the church, with vaulted ceilings, solid wood pews and stone masonry throughout, contributed to an unsatisfactory reverberation time of three seconds. Beam steering arrays from Renkus-Heinz are designed for installations requiring highly targeted audio solutions.
Church staff reached out to Joe DiSabatino, lead design engineer at JD Sound & Video, to design a new audio system for the sanctuary. DiSabatino partnered with local acoustical engineer Hadi Sumoro of HX Audio Lab to model the acoustics
