Hing Kong - Hong Kong-based Shalom AV Technology, the local agent for Dutch pro audio manufacturer Sound Projects, has delivered and installed the audio system for the Kam Kong Christian Church, located in the northern part of Hong Kong. The building, which used to be a cinema, houses about 1200 people. Rossini Lo, project designer at Shalom AV, was responsible for the audio system design.

Besides providing high-quality speech reproduction the audio system reinforces the worship band - a dynamic group that performs both mellow and upbeat music, while the whole church congregation sings along. The worship band includes standard drum set, bass guitar, guitars, keyboards and around eight vocalists. The church's main criteria were clear speech (even under loud worship music) with high intelligibility and low noise. Minimal deviations in SPL throughout the audience guarantee even intelligibility and reproduction of anything from soft prayer to loud, upbeat gospel music.

The specified system contains self powered cabinets including two SP-4 Diamond as main Left/Right speakers, two SP-4-15 subwoofers, two SP-2 as centre cluster speakers and four SP-2 cabinets used as rear delay speakers.

Rossini Lo also reported another Sound Projects installation in a smaller church (450 capacity) in Hong Kong.
